Beautiful Bride: Nicole Richie & Her Grace Kelly-Inspired Marchesa Wedding Dress

People has revealed the first photograph of Joel Madden and Nicole Richie's wedding. This photo features a smiling Nicole in one of three Marchesa dresses she wore that day. Apparently inspired by Grace Kelly's wedding dress this ballgown features "more than 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals." Pretty and romantic, I think. Can't wait to see more wedding photos in the next People.

Do you see the gown resemblance?
I guess it's most obvious in the lace sleeves
and the wrapped waist area.

Ivanka Trump was another beautiful bride whose Vera Wang was also said to be inspired by Princess Grace's iconic gown. I love the shift from traditional strapless, although when I was shopping for my own dress I found it hard to find anything but strapless.

What do you think of Nicole's first wedding look?

Ivanka Trump has partnered with Dynamic Diamond Corp. to design a collection of jewellery that was recently unveiled at the opening of her brand new, flagship store on Madison Avenue. While the collection is beautiful, (especially the Diamond briolett double tassel lariat, pictured below) it's her super stylish boutique, done in black and white with splashes of yellow and coral, that is really quite stunning.




{update:}
The design of the shop was done by Brian Humphrey with Kramer Design Group.
