Teresa Giudice opens up about wedding looks, reveals tribute to late parents

Reality TV

Teresa Giudice overlooked no details when it came to her wedding.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star married Luis “Louie” Ruelas in a lavish ceremony in August, amid lots of family drama and with an over-the-top hairstyle that turned plenty of headsincluding Andy Cohen’s.

And on Tuesday, the mom of four shared new details about her wedding dresses and veil on Instagram, as well as the scoop on Ruelas’ tuxedos and her bridesmaids’ outfits.

Giudice walked down the aisle wearing a custom Mark Zunino strapless ballgown, along with a particularly meaningful veil.

“When I came up with the idea of a custom veil that honored my parents, [Zunino] listened and made it so special for me, I cried when I saw it,” Giudice wrote.

“My veil had 3 hearts and the phrase ‘Sempre Insieme’ which means always together and is written on my parents’ mausoleum because they were always together.”

She continued, “Mark surprised me by sewing three hearts and 333 inside of the dress as an extra tribute to my parents because the number 3 is very significant for my family.”

For the reception, the cookbook writer turned to Galia Lahav for “something sexy & fun that [she] could move and dance in,” choosing an off-the-shoulder lace look with a thigh-high slit.

The star also shared a close-up peek at her bejeweled crown, pink bridesmaid dresses from Coco’s Chateau and Ruelas’ personalized Sal Lauretta tux.

While Giudice paid tribute to her parents on her big day, brother Joe Gorga and wife Melissa Gorga were noticeably absent, skipping the event in an emotional decision amid their ongoing feud.

Those who were in attendance included “RHOA” stars Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks, “RHOM” Alexia Echevarria, “RHONY” Jill Zarin and Dorinda Medley, among others.

Fans will get even more insight on Giudice’s bridal looks — and the drama — as Bravo filmed a wedding special around the event.
