Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria made her way down the aisle lined with mounds of white rose petals of the romantic Parisian cathedral Saint Germain L’Auxerrois in Paris in a exquisite gown designed by Angel Sanchez estimated at over $75,000 while more than 200 guests watched. Eva’s dress had a 10-foot train and she Eva wore Sergio Rossi shoes with a special embroidery on the inside with Eva and Tony July 7, 2007. According to OK!, Eva carried a bouquet of white phalaenopsis orchid stems and lilies, which she tossed later in their tent reception.
At 5:20pm, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker exchanged their vows in front of a crowd of family and friends inside the spectacular Church of Saint Germain l’Auxerrois. Pere Dominic Schubert presided over the ceremony in both English and French. Tony, who was born in Belgium, said his portion of the wedding vows in English, while Texas-native Eva recited hers in French.
According to sources at OK!, Tony’s wedding ring was a simple white gold “Possession” band by jeweler Piaget, while Eva’s matching wedding ring was crafted from 18K white gold and features two rows of 80 brilliant-cut diamonds, separated by a row of 27 square-cut diamonds for a total of 107 breathtaking jewels. That’s definitely some kind of ring.
The reception was held at the Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte, a breathtaking 17th-century castle 34 miles south of Paris. It was candle-lit and had a red-toned theme with tents set up on the historic, mile-long garden. The reception tables were adorned with 1900 flowers on each table. The wedding dinner menu consisted of a lobster medallion skewer in a gazpacho topped with pistachio oil and avruga caviar pearls, a second course of sea bass filet with a creamy truffle risotto and the final entree course of filet mignon of beef, baby vegetables, Morel mushrooms sauce and dalloyau potatoes. The wedding cake consisted of a red, five-tiered, vanilla bean pound cake, filled with crushed organic raspberries; 500 hand-sculpted sugar flowers and baked in the states then flown to France. A dessert buffet followed the wedding cake.
As a thank you gift, each female wedding guest received a Van Clef & Arpel Sweet Alhambra good luck bracelet crafted in 18K yellow gold on a delicate chain with a miniature mother-of-pearl clover charm.
A mariachi band played for Eva and her father’s dance and a fireworks display was the perfect end to a long night of celebrating.
