The low key royal wedding: Grace Kelly's granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi marries film producer fiance in a small civil service at palace where actress grandmother wed... before the groom gets thrown in the pool!
- Grace Kelly's granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi married film producer fiance
- Dimitri Rassam, 37, was pictured with his new wife with the caption 'just married'
- Wedding was distinctly low key as, afterwards, groom was chucked in the pool
Grace Kelly's granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi and her film producer fiance have tied the knot in Monaco.
In contrast to the funeral of the American actress, attended by hundreds including Princess Diana in 1982, 32-year-old Charlotte went for a strictly low key affair with a small civil ceremony followed by a relaxed garden party.
Her new husband Dimitri Rassam, 37, even got chucked into a swimming pool in the well-tailored suit that he wore for the big day.
A picture of the happy couple, where Charlotte wore a long-sleeved Saint Laurent dress by Anthony Vaccarello, announced their marriage with the caption 'just married!'.

Go for gray like Charlotte wearing Giambattista Valli
The granddaughter of Grace Kelly looked royally beautiful as she married her film producer fiance in Monaco recently.
And, it wouldn't be like her to not do it in style. Charlotte wore a stunning short lace gown with a trio of bows on the front that was designed by Giambattista Valli. While the dress was rather nontraditional for a wedding, and shorter than most wedding dresses, we loved the regal details and her traditional additions, like her pearl drop earrings and white stilettos. The lace embellishment is timeless as well, so we know that this dress will be written fondly into the fashion history books.
Unfortunately, us mere citizens can't buy this dress for our big day, but click right to shop the label at Farfetch to see if anything else inspires you. Otherwise, we can copy Charlotte's look for our own big day with one of the lookalike picks below.

For her nuptials, the bride wore a long-sleeved mini-dress with floral detailing and three statement bows. Her hair was styled by John Nollet.
The groom, meanwhile, donned a well-tailored navy suit with a silk baby-blue tie with a pocket square for the nuptials in Monaco's Ingrimaldia palace, where Grace Kelly was also married in 1956.
The couple have a seven-month-old son called Balthazar.

After the small ceremony Instagram footage, seen by MailOnline, shows guests were allowed to unwind by a pool and to the tune of 1970s-inspired band Alessandro Ristori and the Portofinos.

According to People, guests to the wedding included Charlotte's uncle, Prince Albert II, along with his wife Princess Charlene on the bride's side.

Members of the royal family are shown walking in procession behind the coffin, which is walked through the streets of Monaco.
