Kourtney Kardashian Weds Travis Barker in Corseted Dolce & Gabbana Dress

Have you heard the news? Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have finally tied the knot in Portofino, Italy! It's been all over the internet, with plenty of style posts documenting Kourtney and her family's couture-filled trip to Italy. The bride looked absolutely stunning in her custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda lace and satin corset mini dress. It was inspired by 1960s Italian lingerie and featured a sweeping long tulle veil. The headpiece was hand embroidered with flowers inspired by the Mediterranean gardens, as well as the likeness of the Virgin Mary. Barker's tattoo with the text "Family, Loyalty, Respect" was also incorporated into the design. Kourtney finished off her elegant look with a pair of tulle gloves and lace pumps. Barker wasn't too shabby either, wearing a black double-breasted jacket with peaked lapels and classic trousers with pressed crease and side-band, both in superfine Italian black wool with tuxedo detail in black silk satin. It was a wedding designed to perfection! 

The wedding was absolutely breathtaking! It took place on the stunning estate of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in Villa Olivetta. With the picturesque castellated tower, luxurious décor, sweeping coastal views, and clear blue skies, it truly was the epitome of an Italian romantic dream come true. The wedding itself was adorned with grand themes and decorations, exuding that sense of a fairy tale wedding in style.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the wedding was Kourtney's custom Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress, which was filled with hidden meaningful details for those who paid close attention. The beautiful embroidery on the back of the dress was done with the ‘cross stitch’ technique, and served as a loving tribute to her husband Travis’ tattoo on his scalp, which symbolizes alliance, respect, and devotion. It was the perfect symbol of love, respect, alliance, and devotion for a special loved one to cherish for years to come.

Oh my goodness, have you seen Kourtney Kardashian's most recent wedding photos? They are absolutely stunning! I can't believe how beautiful the ceremony was, with her siblings, children, and other family members all in attendance. The altar was a gorgeous red color and had a grand gold scaffolding, as well as multiple candles. It was such a romantic setting for Kourtney and her new spouse, who were getting married for the third time. I also loved the video she shared of them hugging and swaying to Andrea Bocelli's 'Can't Help Falling in Love'. It was just so sweet and heartfelt.

But let's talk about Kourtney's outfits for a second. She truly embraced the La Dolce Vita style while in Italy and looked absolutely stunning. In one photo, she's wearing a black mini dress with imagery of the Virgin Mary on the bodice, complete with a gothic black veil. And later, she switched into a sheer, red floor-length gown from Dolce & Gabbana's spring/summer 1998 collection. She looked like a true Italian goddess!

It's true that not everyone would choose to get married in lingerie or extravagant gothic lace, but what Kim Kardashian has shown us is that wedding fashion is all about personal style and breaking the rules. We wish the newlyweds all the best as they embark on their journey together. Congratulations Kravis!
