Finally we have seen the dress! THE dress!
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.
TMZ also claims the Gravity actor devised a cunning plan which enabled guests to take photos, which he could monitor. According to the website, guests were given a specially made camera and code.
All images that were taken on the approved cameras were routed to a database that George's people could access, therefore if any photos were then touted to the media, George would immediately be able to track down the perpetrator.
Clooney and British human rights barrister Amal wed in front of approximately 100 guests - including family friends and famous faces such as Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, Cindy Crawford and her husband, George's best man Rande Gerber, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, Vogue's Anna Wintour and Bill Murray, at Italy's historic Aman Canal Grande Venice on Saturday.
People reports those assembled broke out into spontaneous applause when the couple - who were first linked together in October 2013 - were declared man and wife during the 30 minute ceremony.
Nora Sagal, the daughter of friends, sang Irving Berlin's Always, the same song George's parents Nick and NIna danced to at their wedding, while Cole Porter's Why Shouldn't I? was chosen for the first dance at the reception.
Both sets of parents are thrilled by the union with Amal's mother Baria Alamuddin opening up to People about the special day.
