Introducing the Clooney/Alamuddins: The first
pictures from George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's lavish Italian wedding
have been revealed
Amal Alamuddin teased us all week end with her stunning selection of designer looks from Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Giambattista Valli and Stella McCartney but now we get to see the one we've been waiting for.
This most beautiful of brides wore bespoke Oscar de la Renta for her marriage to George Clooney and looked totally dreamy. This French lace gown was embroidered with diamante and pearls and featured a circular train, while the wide neckline scooped just off her shoulders. This is a timeless and elegant dress and will no doubt inspire a thousand copy cat looks next time wedding season comes around.
Whether you're getting married soon or not we can all take notes from Amal's impeccable style. Lace is a romantic option and whether on a bohemian maxi or a full on gown it'll never go out of fashion.
Take a look at our edit below. Coast and Temperley London provide the wedding-worthy looks or do a hippy take by Nightcap Clothing, Topshop and Asos. Either way, style with metallic high heel sandals and dream of a groom like George.

Following
his father-in-law’s speech, messages from a few of George's pals,
including Dan Aykroyd and Sandra Bullock, who sadly couldn't make it to
his big day, were then read aloud, putting a smile on the actor’s face.
According
to the magazine, the wedding celebrations went on until the early hours
of Sunday morning, with some not retiring to their beds until 5am.
It
will no doubt come as a surprise to some that George had the energy to
party so hard as he'd had a late night the evening before celebrating
his last hours as a single man.

The
actor and a few of his closest pals were spotted dining out at one of
his favourite eateries Da Ivo restaurant, where they feasted on a
gourmet dinner of stuffed courgette flowers, pasta with truffles before
tucking into figs, crab and lobster.
After
the meal, George and his pals, including best man Rande Gerber and
producing partner Grant Heslov, reportedly devoured two bottles of
Casamigos - his own brand of tequila - before moving on to Sassicaia.
They are also said to have enjoyed a £250 bottle of Tuscan red wine.

Despite
the stag party no doubt feeling slightly tipsy after spending the
evening indulging in alcohol, the restaurant's chef Luciana Gambardella
couldn't stop gushing about the star.
'He's a wonderful person,' she beamed to The Independent on Sunday.
'And
[what] moved me the most was how he made a point of going up to every
person working in the restaurant to thank them after the meal.'

According
to the restaurant's owner Giovanni Fracassi, who is an old friend of
George's, the Hollywood pin-up didn't leave empty handed either.
Having
known the actor for almost a decade, he gave his pal thousands of
pounds worth of vintage 2010 Sassicaia red wine - which costs up to £250
a bottle - as a wedding present.
To say thank you, George scribbled a note on an empty bottle stating that he'd had 'the perfect night'.

celebrities took to Twitter to congratulate the actor.

actor Max Greenfield tweeted: 'Congratulations to George Clooney',
while comedian Jim Norton joked: 'George Clooney got married and a

The path to happiness has not been an easy one for George.
He
dated John Travolta's now-wife Kelly Preston for 14 months between 1987
and 1989, and is said to have been heartbroken that she dumped him for
Charlie Sheen.
George then entered into his most serious romance (up until Amal) with fellow actress Talia Balsam.
Talia
had actually dated George for three years before Kelly, and got back
together two years later before driving to Vegas in a Winnebago to tie
the knot. But after three years the couple divorced amid reports of
arguments about money.

Nervous by any chance? George pulled a series of funny faces as he made his way to his wedding
Family
time: The 53-year-old was accompanied by his father Nick as he made the
15-minute journey from the Cipriani hotel to the seven-star Amal
resort, where he was meeting his bride-to-be
Clooney
admitted in a Vanity Fair interview: 'I probably – definitely – wasn't
someone who should have been married at that point. I just don't feel
like I gave Talia a fair shot.'
Talia went on to marry Mad Men star John Slatterly, while George's next girlfriend was actress Kimberly Russell.
He
dumped her in 1995 (by letter rather than face-to-face) allegedly
because he wanted to see other women and take advantage of his
blossoming fame after starring in TV drama ER.
After
the split Kimberley said: ‘You have to enjoy the ride while it lasts —
he’s simply not the marrying kind. The guy is an absolute charmer, but
just don’t mention the words “marriage, commitment or babies”.’
His second longest relationship was with another Brit, the former model-turned-radio presenter Lisa Snowdon.
They
dated on and off for five years though Lisa never moved into his Los
Angeles home. Having met on the set of a Martini commercial in 2000, and
the final three years were said to be angst-filled.
However, Lisa became one of the rare ladies in his life to send him packing rather than the other way round.
But the search was over for George, who found the one to call his wife in 36-year old Amal.
