The red-and-white themed pre-wedding welcome dinner was pretty impressive in and of itself.

The pre-wedding welcome dinner was pretty impressive in and of itself.

When you're the heiress to a crystal fortune, it's hard to imagine your wedding would be anything less than sparkling.

This was certainly true when 23-year-old Victoria Swarovski married the Munich-based entrepreneur Werner Mürz last weekend in a three-day ceremony in Portopiccolo, Italy.

Swarovski, the daughter of Paul Swarovski, tied the knot with Mürz, a property investor, at the luxury five-star hotel Falisia in front of 250 close friends and relatives. She wore a crystal-embellished dress from the Dubai-based fashion designer Michael Cinco.

Swarovski's team shared the official wedding images — and the inside scoop — with Business Insider.

Take a look at the sparkling event:

This is the Swarovski crystal heiress Victoria Swarovski and the Munich-based entrepreneur Werner Mürz, who married in an incredibly extravagant ceremony last weekend.

The three-day event took place in stunning Portopiccolo, Italy, 20 kilometres from Trieste.

On the first night, there was a red-and-white-themed "Pasta and Love" welcome dinner at the luxury five-star hotel Falisia.

Here's what the party location looked like from above.

Swarovski, who was born in Austria, wore a crystal red gown from the Dubai-based fashion designer Michael Cinco. Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, and Rihanna are among his clients.

Guests started to arrive.

Music producer Adrian Louis was among the guests.

Blogger Viktoria Rader, who has 39.3k instagram followers, was also in attendance.

The guests were treated to some pretty fantastic entertainment...

...and the soon-to-be newlyweds showed their moves on the dance floor.

Then it was time for the main event — the wedding day.

The ceremony took place at the cathedral of San Giusto, Trieste.

It looked pretty magical inside.

Swarovski wore a flowing white embellished dress, again from Michael Cinco, made with around 500,000 Swarovski crystals.

The 46 kg heavy dress, which had an eight-meter-long veil and train, is worth more than $1 million (£792,142).

She paired it with Jimmy Choo heels.

This couple looked pretty mesmerised. Along with the Swarovski family — Victoria's father Paul, sister Paulina, mother Alexandra and husband, and Aunt Fiona — the guests included the likes of real estate tycoon and Karstadt owner René Benko. Also in attendance were industrial magnate Peter König, TV host and model Sylvie Meis, and Saudi Arabian businessman Ahmed Ashmawi.

Guests cheered when the happy couple emerged from the church.

After the formal ceremony, the wedding party headed back to Portopiccolo for dinner at Maxi’s Restaurant looking out over the sea.

There were some stunning spots for guests to take photos.

The space was decorated with veil herb trees and thousands of Swarovski crystals.

Here, a guest holds some of the gems.

The party went on into the night.

Swarovski hit the dance floor, again.

The newlyweds cut a five-tier cake.

Unsurprisingly, a crowd gathered when she threw the bouquet.

Here's the lucky winner.

The weekend finished with a Farewell Brunch with the newlyweds at the Beach Club in Portopiccolo.

The couple are believed to be childhood sweethearts.

Aside from being the heiress to a fortune, Swarovski is also a singer and socialite in Austria. At the age of just 16, she signed her first record deal with Sony Music, and sang the theme song for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." She also performed at the Olympic Games in Sotschi in 2014.

She also won the German version of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2016, and is one of the judges on "Germany’s Got Talent."

Now, the couple are enjoying a honeymoon in France, travelling on superyachts and taking part in Dior shopping sprees. You can follow their travels on Swarovski's Instagram page. It's a sparkly ride.
