Angie's dress designed 'for laughter'

Angelina Jolie wore an Atelier Versace dress embroidered with dozens of drawings by the couple's children for her wedding to Brad Pitt.

Photographs of the August 23 wedding will be published in this week's People and Hello! magazines, on sale from today.

The cover of People magazine shows a pensive Jolie, 39, in her floor-length white satin dress with slim straps, a corseted waist and a full skirt.

Her hair is covered by a floor-length veil decorated with brightly-coloured images of flowers, animals and stick men.

The outfit was created by Luigi Massi, the master tailor at Atelier Versace, who sewed the sketches from her six children's drawings into the dress and veil.

"It was important to us that the day was relaxed and full of laughter," the couple told the magazine. "It was such a special day to share with our children and a very happy time for our family."

Their sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10, walked Jolie down the aisle, wearing black suits to match Pitt's. Daughters Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, were flower girls.
