Princess Kate rocked a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress with a full skirt and long sheer sleeves for her 2011 royal wedding, while her sister Pippa tied the knot six years later in a similar Giles Deacon high-neck dress. While many royal fans spotted the similarities between Kate's gown and Grace Kelly's 1956 frock, she never confirmed whether she based any of the design on the Monaco royal.

However, Naomi revealed that Prince Rainier III of Monaco's wife inspired her dress. To finish her look, the bride wore her hair tied back in a bun and a veil with embroidered detailing.

Peter wore a navy three-piece suit, also by Ralph Lauren, and Joe and Jill wore coordinating blue outfits. 

The couple met four years ago after being set up on a blind date by mutual friends. They announced their engagement in September 2021 after Peter proposed in Wyoming with a family heirloom.

According to CNN, Naomi’s engagement ring was a bespoke piece designed by a jeweller in Washington DC. Peter reportedly chose to use the gold band of his late grandmother’s engagement ring, alongside a sizeable emerald-cut diamond.
