The gentle sweetheart neckline complemented the feminine design and Nicole looked flawless, choosing to wear her hair in ringlets and adding a chic bridal veil.

The dress is rumored to have cost $20,000, but it appears it was money well spent as Nicole revealed she will one day pass it onto her daughters. "It’s the most exquisite dress and it is so beautiful,” she told E! News in 2015.

Nicole Kidman's dress was breathtaking

“Nicolas [Ghesquière] made it for me and it is wrapped in special paper and it will be passed on to whichever daughter wants to wear it. I still have so many of my dresses. I treat them as you would a painting because that’s what they are—they’re just in a different form.”

The couple said "I do" surrounded by friends and family at the breathtaking setting of Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel.
