TomKat nuptials in Armani

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have finally tied the knot, perhaps putting an end to the months of speculation regarding the legitimacy of their relationship. The wedding took place in the fairy-tale like splendour of the sumptuous fifteenth century Castello Odescalchi in Bracciano near Rome . As reported earlier, the bride and groom were both dressed by Giorgio Armani. For Holmes, the designer created an off-the-shoulder ivory silk gown with a train of Valenciennes lace and Swarovski crystal beading. The gown was accessorized with an ivory tulle floor-length veil and silk shoes. "Katie wanted a simple, elegant dress that was rich in material with a slim silhouette," Armani dished to WWD. "I couldn't have been in more agreement. I wanted to make it modern but at the same time, compliment that sweetness and energy she conveys." Armani met with Holmes in Milan , where he says she came by to discuss the dress. "We clicked immediately," he said. The last fittings took place in Los Angeles . Meanwhile, Mr Armani also tended to the groom, designing a bespoke navy blue tuxedo with satin lapel. The ivory silk French collar matched that of the bride's dress. The jacket label even read "Giorgio Armani for Tom Cruise". For the wedding reception, the third Mrs Cruise changed into an asymmetric champagne Giorgio Armani Privé gown made from silk organza and adorned with Swarovski crystal beading. The couple sealed their vows with white gold and diamond Cartier rings.

The nuptials were presided over by a Scientology minister and were attended by 150 guests, amongst which a slew of famous faces, including Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, the Beckhams and Will Smith and wife Jada.
