Revealed: Nada Kamani's showpiece Dior gown took a staggering 540 hours to make as she tied the knot at £20million wedding to PrettyLittleThing boss Umar Kamani

On Friday, billionaire boss of PrettyLittleThing, Umar Kamani married Nada Kamani in a picturesque ceremony in the French Riviera.

The couple said 'I do' in two ceremonies in the South of France - after a fairytale proposal in August 2021 - meaning Nada had under three years to plan for one of the most important weeks of her life. 

Friday's ceremony took place at the Grand Allée in the lavish hotel and was certainly one for the books as it hosted a variety of celebrity guests and featured musical performances from Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli.

She looked a vision as she walked down the aisle in front of her family and friends to marry the man of her dreams in a ceremony that is estimated to cost around £20million. 

Nada's white gown was designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri Studio, who was told to keep things simple and effortlessly elegant.

She told Vogue Arabia: 'I wanted the dress itself to be the detail. The neckline, the shape, the lines.

'I envisioned a gown that would stand the test of time, embodying a sense of grace and sophistication that would never go out of style.'

Nada said when she saw a sweetheart neckline on a black dress worn by royal and Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, she immediately knew that she wanted that style and everything 'fell into place' after that. 

She then had a discussion at Dior's Haute Couture salons, where they incorporated styles from Kamani's stylist Cary Robinson.

Nada was then presented with sketches of what her dream wedding dress would look like. All that was left was to select the neckline, veil and fabric she wanted, in this case it was peau de soie.

The stunning frock was crafted in Dior's Flou Workshop and Nada said she adores the dress because of the feminine sweetheart neckline.

She told the outlet: 'I adore the neckline. I've never seen it done in a wedding dress before, so it feels unique to me.'

It featured a cinched waistline, which showed off Nada's sophisticated figure, a long, chic train, silk tulle and stunning lace veil. 

Nada had three haute couture seamstresses and a pattern maker bring the wedding dress of dreams to life. 

It took a whopping 540 hours to bring the vision to life, a similar timeframe to that of royal wedding dresses.

The newlyweds could not stop smiling as they held hands and had pictures taken outside the exclusive resort

She had four fittings in total before the frock was deemed perfect for the big day, and Nada said it felt 'amazing' to slip on the jaw-dropping gown for the first time, adding that it is a moment she will 'never forget'. 

Nada decided to let the neckline do all the talking and kept her neck free of jewellery for the ceremony, instead showcasing her chiselled collarbones. 

She opted for statement silver diamond drop-earrings and a matching glitzy bracelet.

The model kept her makeup simple and opted for bronzer, blush and highlight with mascara and eyeliner and a hint of nude lipstick. 

Nada wore her shiny brown tresses of hair down in a curly blowdry which she parted in the middle and used it to pin back her elegant lace veil. 

She looked every inch the bride as she walked down the aisle in a fairytale wedding, with emotional guests tearing up as soon as they saw her. 

Following their celebrations on Friday - when Nada wore her stunning Dior frock - Umar and Nada celebrated again on Saturday with a traditional Indian ceremony.

A white party to welcome guests was held on Thursday, with a relaxed barbeque on Sunday finishing off the four day extravaganza. 

The weekend of celebrations brought together their celeb pals, from supermodel Naomi Campbell to actor Tessa Thompson, comedian Russell Peters, singer Christina Milian, Arabia editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut, and Red Sea Film Festival Foundation CEO Mohammed Al Turki.

Umar's close friend, ex Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas served as one of the Best Men. 

For Friday's ceremony Nada looked radiant in a custom Maria Grazia Chiuri-designed Dior gown which boasted an impressive train and simple capped sleeves.

Umar added: 'What can I say? I was speechless when I saw Nada in that dress. It was the most emotional moment.' 

The couple hired event planners Banana Split to bring their dream venue to life, fusing a western style white wedding, and an Indian wedding.
