Charlotte Casiraghi paid tribute to her late grandmother, Princess Grace of Monaco (the Hollywood actress formerly known as Grace Kelly), when she got married over the weekend.
Casiraghi, a model and equestrian , tied the knot with film producer Dimitri Rassam on Saturday. For the civil ceremony, the bride wore a long-sleeve brocade Saint Laurent mini-dress in a fabric similar to the dress Grace donned at her civil ceremony with Prince Rainier III in 1956.
Casiraghi and Rassam’s ceremony took place at the Prince’s Palace of Monaco , where the bride’s grandparents married 63 years before.
For the reception, the bride changed into a strapless Chanel gown that she accessorized with what appeared to be the same three-strand Cartier diamond necklace that Rainier reportedly gave to Grace as a wedding present .
Even Casiraghi’s reception hairstyle — a soft, wavy bob — was reminiscent of her grandmother, who died in 1982 when she had a stroke while driving , four years before Casiraghi was born. Casiraghi’s mother is Princess Caroline of Hanover, Grace and Rainier’s eldest child. Casiraghi does not hold a royal title but is 11th in line to the Monegasque throne .
Casiraghi and Rassam’s 6-month-old son, Balthazar , was present at the nuptials, along with the couple’s two children from their previous relationships: her 5-year-old son and his 7-year-old daughter.
According to People , there will likely be a larger wedding celebration for the couple next weekend in Southern France.
