You are a wonderful woman. Marrying you is the best decision I’ve ever taken. I’m happy to share my life with you.” The accessoriesPrincess Charlene accessorized her wedding gown with a diamond floral headpiece, and her wedding bouquet was composed of white freesia, white dendrobium orchids combined with pittosporum foliage, and designed in a shower style evoking memories of Princess Grace's wedding bouquet.
