Claudia Schiffer married producer Matthew Vaughn in an intimate ceremony in Shimpling, England, on Saturday. HELLO! magazine was a special guest at the exclusive nuptials – and we can now reveal this sketch of the bride’s well-guarded lace Valentino creation, which came complete with a five-metre long veil.
Next week, in Issue 717, our readers will be able to see just how the lovely bride looked in the gown as we bring you exclusive photos of the wedding - from the glamourous guests to the very special reception - in HELLO! magazine, on sale June 4.
The supermodel’s long-sleeved ivory dress, designed “to accentuate the beauty of Claudia’s neck and shoulders” according to Valentino, was made of four different types of handmade lace, and featured a close fit at the hips flowing into a full, floaty skirt. The design was kept closely under wraps in the run-up to the big event – the German beauty’s last fitting was in London just 24 hours before her nuptials.
The wedding itself took place on Saturday afternoon at Shimpling’s St George’s Church, in front of a 300 family members and friends, including Guy Ritchie and tennis star Boris Becker. “With Matthew and Claudia’s agreement, I can confirm that they married...this afternoon,” said Rev. Ian Friars after the ceremony. “The service was according to the rites of the Church of England...(and) reflected the couple's faith and commitment to each other.”
