Tom & Katie: Bullet Point Wedding Guide

WEDDING RECAP

It was a star-studded affair as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes exchanged vows Saturday in the tiny town of Bracciano, Italy. Here's a quick look at all of the wedding details!

The bride:
Katie Holmes wore an ivory silk Swarovski crystal embroidered, floor-length gown designed by Giorgio Armani. The low-cut dress, decorated with a crinoline frill at the shoulders and a silk border around the hem, also had a train in ivory silk cadis adorned in Valenciennes lace. Katie also wore an ivory tulle floor length veil and ivory silk shoes, and she carried a bouquet of flowers, including calla lilies, that was made by Armani. At the reception that followed the ceremony, Holmes wore a peach-colored Armani evening dress of silk organza decorated with Swarovski crystal beads.

The groom:
Tom Cruise also dressed in Armani -- wearing what the designer described as a navy blue single-breasted silk suit with a matching vest, an ivory silk shirt that was made of the same fabric as the bride's gown and a silk tie.

The baby:
The couple's 7-month-old daughter Suri also was dressed in Armani, the designer said, describing a little white wool bloomer dress, decorated in tulle. Armani said he made the outfit simple, not wanting to exaggerate the dress of a child.

The rings:
Tom and Katie's rings were white gold Cartier with diamonds.

The guests:
Among the over 150 guests in attendance were Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Victoria Beckham, Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy, Brooke Shields and husband Chris Henchy, Jenna Elfman, Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.

The wedding party:
The wedding party included Tom's children, Isabella and Connor. The best man was Tom's best friend, David Miscavige – the head of the Church of Scientology. The matron of honor was Katie's sister Nancy Blaylock.

The music:
Italian opera superstar Andrea Bocelli performed for those in attendance.

The cake:
Five-tiered white chocolate, decorated with marzipan roses, and studded with white chocolate chips.

The gift:
Katie bought Tom a Vacheron Constantin watch from a high-end Beverly Hills jewelry store. On the back of the watch, she had the message "I Love You" engraved. The Malte Dual Time Regulator in Rose Gold (pictured below) is valued at $23,000.
