When it came to her dress for the big day, it seems she had only one thought in mind.

Kitty has worked with the brand since 2017.

The designers said they had only four fittings to get it right. ‘They’ve been beautiful and emotional moments,’ said Dolce. ‘One of the inspirations is definitely her love for Italy. Kitty is in love with our beautiful country and its rich history, art and culture.’
