Miss Universe Australia's Wedding Dress Had Thousands of Swarovski Crystals on the Bodice Alone

You might recognise Monika Radulovic [1] because she was crowned Miss Universe Australia at the 2015 pageant. But since then, she's been practicing her influencer chops [2], modelling and working as a brand ambassador. The 27-year-old married her love of four years, Alesandro Ljubicic, at Miramare Gardens in Australia, and her bridal look certainly fit the beautiful surroundings.

Monika's ceremony gown was customized by Galia Lahav, featuring thousands of sequins and Swarovski crystals on the magenta overlay that could be slipped on or off and was meant to represent one of Alesandro's paintings. Her long, floor-sweeping veil mimicked the bodice and also featured purple embroidery stitched close to the hem.

Eventually, Monika changed into a second Galia Lahav creation for the reception, and we also have a look at the flouncy, flirty minidress she sported to her shower, cinched at the waist with a Gucci belt for those handy designer trimmings. Ahead, lust over every pretty little detail.
