Congratulations to Victoria Swarovski and her new husband Werner Mürz! The couple married in a magnificent wedding ceremony in Italy over the weekend, in front of 250 friends and family members. Victoria, 22, a member of the famous Swarovski family, was the most beautiful bride, wearing a princess-style gown and cathedral-length veil.
The wedding took place over three days, starting with a welcome dinner at The PIAZETTA of the Falisia Resort & Spa in Portopiccolo, northern Italy on Thursday 15 June. The ceremony took place the following day on Friday 16 June in an afternoon service at the cathedral of San Giusto, Trieste.
Guests then returned to Hotel Falisia, about 20km away, for the reception. The wedding breakfast was held at Maxi's Restaurant, where guests enjoyed a night of dinner and dancing, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display. The following morning, the newlyweds hosted a farewell brunch at the Beach Club.

Victoria was a sight to behold, wearing a bespoke, custom-made wedding dress by Dubai-based designer Michael Cinco. The designer, whose celebrity clients include Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Naomi Campbell, created an absolute masterpiece - a ballgown that was embellished with 500,000 Swarovski crystals and featured an eight-metre train. The dress, which weighed 46kg, is worth more than one million dollars.
