Angelina Jolie debuts wedding dress

Exclusive photos from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's French wedding reveal the actress wore a couture Versace gown.

Newlyweds Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have debuted photos from their surprise nuptials, which reveal the actress wore a designer wedding gown featuring artwork by their six children.

The Hollywood couple tied the knot during an intimate, secret ceremony at at the Chateau Miraval estate in Correns, France on August 23.

In the first images of the ceremony, released to America's People magazine, Jolie is shown wearing a flowing Atelier Versace wedding gown, designed by the brand's master tailor Luigi Massi.

Massi also helped create Jolie veil, which was covered with colourful drawings by their kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox.

Gushing about Massi's work, Jolie said: "Luigi is like family to me and I couldn't imagine anyone else making this dress. He knows and cares for the children and it was great fun putting it together."

As for Pitt, he wore a suit from his closet, complete with a tie borrowed from one of his sons, after the actor forgot to pack his own.

The kids were also involved in the ceremony, with Maddox and Pax walking Jolie down the aisle, Shiloh and Knox serving as ring bearers, and Zahara and Vivienne playing the roles of flower girls.

"It was important to us that the day was relaxed and full of laughter. It was such a special day to share with our children and a very happy time for our family," both Jolie and Pitt told the glossy magazine.

Another picture exclusively released to People features the entire Jolie-Pitt clan sitting on steps at the estate as they pose in the formal wear for a family portrait.

Jolie and Pitt began dating in 2005 after meeting on the set of film Mr. & Mrs. Smith and became engaged in 2012.

It is Pitt's second marriage following his divorce from actress Jennifer Aniston in 2005. Jolie was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.
