Pearlescent Bridal Polish Trends: Amal Alamuddin Weds George Clooney in a Classic Ivory Mani

Two small words we thought George Clooney would never say were spoken loud and clear over the weekend: "I do!" Hollywood's most eligible bachelor tied the knot with British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in Venice, Italy, the amore capital of the world. 

Classic and classy wedding white served as the theme of the ceremony. The bride chose an off-white lace Oscar de la Renta gown, which featured hand-embroidered pearls and diamanté accents, and an opaque ivory mani, while the groom wore a tuxedo by Giorgio Armani. The couple exchanged vows in front of a large wall of white candles, and white roses, lilies and carnations added a fresh, fragrant touch to the romantic venue.

The bride accessorized her custom Oscar de la Renta dress hand-embroidered with pearls with opaque ivory nail polish.

Amal Alamuddin's cream-colored Stella McCartney pantsuit, 

which she wore at the civil ceremony, matched her mani.

Fast forward to 0:26 to see the bride's stunning nails.

The presence of Clooney's celeb pals turned the private ceremony into a star-studded event. They included Bono, Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, Matt Damon, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Mr. and Mrs. Clooney reportedly sold their wedding photo rights to Vogue, People and Hello! magazines in exchange for donations to charities of their choice, such as Not On Our Watch Project, American Foundation for Equal Rights and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network--organizations that the groom actively supports.
