Margherita Missoni married her race car driver fiancé Eugenio Amos over the weekend in a flower-covered white silk Missoni gown created with Giambattista Valli's advice — or as she tweeted, "couture counseling." Later, she changed into a pale pink version of the same dress for the star-studded reception. "The dress was made by the women who saw me growing up, following my precise directions," she wrote.

The couple exchanged vows at the church of Santa Maria Annunciata in Brunello, Italy, where Tatiana Santo Domingo, Eugenie Niarchos, and Teresa Missoni served as bridesmaids. Afterward, a group of guests including Carine Roitfeld, Franca Sozzani, Charlotte Olympia Dellal, Mario Testino, Suzy Menkes, and Derek Blasberg headed to Angela Missoni's nearby estate for the reception. Fabiola Beracasa tweeted a picture of the wedding lunch, where guests dined al fresco seated on Missoni-patterned cushions. Before the celebration ended, the couple cut into a heart-shaped cake. It was, as Lauren Santo Domingo tweeted the "Best. Wedding. Ever."
