In May 2022, Kourtney Kardashian surprised her fans and relatives by getting married to Travis Barker in Portofino, Italy while dressed in a lace mini dress.
Kourtney on Sunday took to Instagram to share her thoughts on her unconventional wedding dress choice. The 43-year-old TV personality wrote, “One year ago, we had our first in-person meeting with @DolceGabbana to start the design process of my wedding dress,” Kardashian wrote alongside a series of photos that showed her in the white silk corset frock. “The first inspiration for my dress was when Travis and I were watching Guns N’ Roses’ ‘November Rain’ video one night before we were even engaged.”
“We said to each other, ‘This has to be our wedding.’ She was wearing a short dress, and I thought to myself, ‘I need a short dress!’” The Poosh founder explained that was also “inspired” by “1990s campaigns of MonicaBellucci shot by Helmut Newton for Blumarine,” the star continued.
Kourtney clarified that her decision on the wedding dress was also influenced by the location of her and Barker’s marriage ceremony. “I wanted to feel like we ran off to Italy and got married and wanted the dress and wedding to feel that way! When @DolceGabbana suggested putting Travis’ head tattoo of the Virgin Mary on the handmade lace veil with the worlds from his tattoo: family, loyalty, respect underneath, I got chills and knew how special that felt.”
Kardashian further added, “This was all planned and made into my dream come true all so so quickly, and I’m so grateful to everyone who put their all into making it all happen!”
In December 2022, Khloé Kardashian expressed her thoughts on her elder sister’s wedding attire. When Kourtney asked Khloé if she approved of her wedding dress during an episode of Vanity Fair’s “Lie Detector,” the star responded with a sly remark, stating “It was fine.” She then explained: “I mean, it was beautiful, for sure. I just would’ve loved to see you in that at the after party and then something prior.”
