In the flawless picture, Kim, 33, is wearing the same custom Ulyana Sergeenko suit she donned to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on 4 August, when she revealed the real story behind her romantic wedding. Speaking on the American TV show, Kim told how her perfect wedding had been subject to a few hiccups – including a last-minute cancellation which played havoc with their seating plan. Rather than setting out place cards, the bride and groom had etched the names of their guests into the table: "Because everyone is engraved in our hearts," she explained.

This, of course, created huge problems with the no-show. "It was the worst," explained Kim. "We tried to put white paint and cover the name, [but it didn't work]." The reality TV beauty also revealed how the couple's plans to surprise their guests with their Italian wedding location were ruined when the press got hold of the story. "It kind of sucked," she admitted. "We really wanted to surprise everyone and say it was a different country [to France]." Explaining the reasons behind choosing cities in France and Italy, Kim said: "We fell in love in Paris, I got pregnant with our daughter in Florence... we wanted to share our love story."
