Michael Ballack, the German footballer who plays for UK team, Chelsea, married Simone Lambe, his partner of ten years, (yes, TEN years) in Germany yesterday. We wonder what took them so long? The couple already have three children but that didn't stop them from having a huge, sophisticated and glitzy wedding. (Can any footballer ever get married without an enormous sprinkling of glitz-dust?)

The wedding colour was an exquisitely pretty cornflower blue. We love the super-glamorous bridesmaids dresses in blue satin, with loads of heavy crystal embellishments.

The bride wore a beautiful, figure-hugging dress, lavishly studded with crystals, and adorned with loads of sexy feathery detail, including a stylish feathered shoulder strap. This is definitely a grown-up's version of a little girl's fairytale gown. aisledash
