"For this unique design, Maisons d'art Atelier Montex, Lemarie, and Lesage also contributed to the making of the dress through the creation of intricate embellishments. To complete the look, white satin pumps were custom-made by Massaro," the caption read.

In another post, the French label shared intricate details about the gown and the veil. "The House created a Haute Couture dress entirely hand-embroidered with 480,000 beads by Atelier Montex and trompe l'oeil jewels requiring 1,155 hours of needlework by Lesage. The dress-with a two-metre train-is also delicately underlined with 25,000 feathers by Lemarie."

Speaking about the veil, Chanel shared, "The six-metre tulle veil reveals a poetic imagery of birds and flowers, embroidered with beads and feathers, and enhanced by hand-cut organza appliqués. This exceptional Haute Couture veil required over 3,000 hours of handwork by Maisons d'art Atelier Montex and Lemarie."

Needless to say, the ensemble was a masterpiece and will remain an inspiration for brides for years to come. Complementing his bride, Callum Turner looked dashing in a custom Louis Vuitton suit.

The Italian wedding was reportedly attended by Joe Alwyn, Donatella Versace, Grace Gummer, Olivia Dean, and Mark Ronson, among others.
