MANILA, Philippines - After marrying in secret late last month, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally released the photos – including images of Jolie’s custom-designed wedding dress – to the press, according to a report from the Sydney Morning Herald.
The newspaper said the veil and ivory dress has a classic look from the front, but the back view shows the extent of creative license Jolie gave her six children in the design.
Both the veil and the dress were covered in colorful drawings done by the couple’s children, as revealed in photographs obtained by People and Hello! magazines.
Atelier Versace designer Luigi Massi embroidered all the children’s designs into the dress and veil, making one memorable wedding dress.
“Luigi is like family to me and I couldn’t imagine anyone else making this dress,” Jolie told People.
“He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together.”
The wedding ceremony was held in the chapel of their French castle and vineyard estate Chateau Miraval, near Correns in the south of France.
Brad and Angelina’s children assisted in organizing the wedding, which was attended by only 20 close family and friends on Aug. 23, the Sydney Morning Herald said.
The couple told People they wanted a “fun and relaxed” wedding.
The newspaper further detailed that Brad and Angelina’s eldest sons, 13-year-old Maddox and 10-year-old Pax, walked their mother down the aisle, and Pax also baked the wedding cake.
Zahara, nine, and Vivienne, six, were the two flower girls, and eight-year-old Shiloh and six-year-old Knox were the ring bearers.
Pitt wore a suit he already owned, and Vivienne also wore a dress from her wardrobe.
The couple’s other children all wore black suits, and the flower girls used flowers from the estate’s garden.
The wedding bands were designed by Robert Procop, the jeweler who also designed Jolie’s engagement ring.
Brad and Angelina met on the set of their movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. Pitt proposed in 2012.
