Prince Albert escorted his beautiful new bride, Princess Charlene of Monaco, to tonight's 63rd annual Red Cross Ball in their home of Monte Carlo. The princess stepped out in a jewel-toned Akris gown, which was a stark contrast to the classic white Armani dress she wore just last month during their lavish royal wedding. Charlene kept her hair pulled back and makeup simple to complement the stunning custom-made Van Cleef & Arpels piece she wore around her neck. The necklace was given to the princess as a gift from her husband and can also be worn as a tiara. It was reportedly designed to evoke memories of the ocean and is composed of 88 round diamonds, weighing in at over 44 total carats, with 10 pear-shaped diamonds and 359 sapphires!

Charlene Wittstock and Prince Albert Balcony Kiss at Civil Ceremony Pictures

Newly titled Princess Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert II of Monaco seal their civil marriage with a kiss on the balcony of the Throne Room of the Prince's Palace of Monaco. The wedding festivities continue tomorrow with the religious ceremony. Monaco shares its wedding traditions with neighboring country France, where civil ceremonies in a city hall are required to be legally married. These are usually only small events with close family and friends. After the civil ceremony the couple are free to throw a more elaborate church wedding and reception, similar to what we traditionally do in the US. The other well-known royal wedding in Monaco, between Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier, also included both ceremonies.
