ROSES AND ROMANCE

FLORAL arrangements that cost a fortune, real reindeer at their Christmas get-togethers, and renting out stadiums for private events - love them or hate them, you have to admit this bunch knows how to throw a party.

Little wonder then that Kourtney Kardashian's wedding to rocker Travis Barker was no ordinary affair. It took place over three days, was held in picture-perfect Portofino on the Italian Riviera, and was sponsored by Dolce & Gabbana, one of the most high-end fashion houses on the planet.

Kourtney (43), wearing a custom-made corset mini dress, walked down the aisle at the designer duo's L'Ulivetta villa on the arm of her mom, Kris Jenner, as strains of Ave Maria wafted through the balmy afternoon air.

Her dramatic veil featured a hand-embroidered depiction of the Virgin Mary as well as the words family loyalty respect - a nod to one of Travis' many tattoos.

The Blink 182 drummer looked dapper in a Dolce & Gabbana double-breasted jacket with peaked lapels. After exchanging vows, they sealed their union with a kiss in front of a handful of family and friends.

The couple's extravagant flower wall, which featured a 3,5m-high gold statue of Mary and Jesus with gold candelabras and candles, was built to match Kourtney's designer dress and featured a spray of red roses.
