Not just any gift, Creed Fleurissimo was commissioned by Prince Rainier specifically to match Grace Kelly’s wedding bouquet. It contains head notes of bergamot, mandarin, and violet leaves, heart notes of tuberose, jasmine, rose, neroli, and ylang-ylang, and base notes of sandalwood, cedarwood, and orris for a distinctive lingering earthiness. It is designed to emulate a feminine and romantic aura and was possibly inspired by the florals in Kelly’s wedding bouquet.

Per Tatler, the bouquet Kelly carried down the aisle was a discreet bunch of lily of the valley flowers. As well as her bouquet, the future princess also held a small prayer book decorated with sumptuous silk, pearls, and lace detail. These items perfectly matched the former actor’s wedding dress, which was a poignant farewell gift of sorts from her studio MGM, and featured layers of teeny, delicate pearls and lace from Brussels. On her head, Kelly opted for a Juliet cap, once again featuring lace and pearl detail.
