“The train was over 100 centimeters long, accentuated in crystal and pearl detailing with matching white beaded long evening gloves. I wanted to help Teresa pay tribute to her family in some way, so her veil was designed exclusively for her with three big hearts and the Italian phrase ‘Semper Insieme’ which means ‘Always together’.’

Zunino continued: “She told me that everything in her life happens in threes, so the number 3 embroidered three pink hearts across her heart and three ‘3s’ on the inside of her bodice. All elements are designed to inspire a fantastic future full of ‘love, love, love’, as Teresa always says!”
