On Saturday Pierre Casiraghi, the youngest son of Princess Caroline of Monaco and grandson to the late Grace Kelly, married his longtime sweetheart Beatrice Borromeo, a model, journalist, television personality and Italian heiress, at the Prince’s Palace in Monaco. The civil ceremony, which was surprisingly low key considering most royal weddings, was attended by the 700 of the couple’s family and friends.

For the ceremony the bride wore Valentino Couture, a pink and gold, lace and chiffon gown designed especially for her by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. But it was only one of several dresses worn over the weekend. For the reception she changed into cloud-print, floor-length, white gown, a customized interpretation on one of the pieces from 2015 haute couture collection During Sunday’s pool party she wore a colorful, fruit-print dress designed for her by friend and Italian designer Marta Ferri.

Of course a civil ceremony and a luau isn’t enough for royalty. This weekend was only the first in a two week blowout that included a breakfast reception, an evening party and a tropical-themed day party. Next weekend the couple will hold a religious ceremony at Isola Bella, one of Borromeo’s family-owned islands on Lake Maggiore in Italy. Beatrice's sisters were both married on the island—Matilde Borromeo married Prince Antonius von Fürstenberg in June 2011 and Lavinia Borromeo married Fiat chairman John Elkann in 2004.
