Teresa Giudice wears Mark Zunino dress to marry Luis Ruelas

Teresa Giudice looked like a real princess during her lavish wedding over the weekend.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star said “I do” to Luis “Louie” Ruelas on Saturday at the Park Chateau Estate in East Brunswick, NJ, in the presence of family, friends and co-stars.

Giudice, 50, stunned in a Mark Zunino dress while the groom looked sharp in a white suit jacket and bow tie.

The OG “RHONJ” star also wore a custom crystal tiara by Bridal Styles Couture and a veil by Bridal Reflections – embroidered to match the tattoo she got in honor of her late mother, Antonia Gorga, who died in March 2017.

“The bride wore a custom made Mark Zunino Atelier pink mermaid gown with over 300 yards of hand-draped English netting,” Zunino said in a statement to Page Six Style.

“The train was over 100 inches long and accented with crystal and beaded detailing, with matching long white beaded evening gloves. I wanted to help Teresa pay tribute to her family in some way, so her veil was designed exclusively for her with three big hearts and the Italian phrase “Semper Insieme” which means “always together”.

Zunino continued: “She told me that everything in her life happens in threes and with the number 3, three pink hearts were embroidered across her heart and three 3’s were embroidered on the inside of her bodice. All elements are designed to inspire a fantastic future full of “love, love, love” as Teresa always says!”

Zunino seems to be a go-to for “housewives” walking down the aisle, having designed wedding dresses for both Denise Richards (when she married Aaron Phypers in 2018) and Tamra Judge (when she married Eddie Judge in 2013).

“They were invited,” an insider tells us, noting that a “very tense ‘Housewives’ finale” was filmed a week before the wedding.

Giudice and Ruelas, 48, got engaged in October 2021, a year after the former finalized her divorce from ex-husband Joe Giudice.
