According to People Hayek "wore a Balenciaga wedding gown by Nicholas Ghesquiere":

The bride, who wore her hair in a bun with a long veil, held a bouquet of orchids and stephanotis with crystals.

The couple's daughter, Valentina Paloma, 19 months, was a flower girl, along with Francois-Henri's son and daughter from his first marriage, Francois, 10 and Mathilde, 8. Valentina wore a dress by Bonpoint for the ceremony, which started around 7 p.m. At one point in the ceremony, the guests sang "Over the Rainbow."

Sunday Salma released this image from the Saturday night affair

From the AP:

LOS ANGELES - Salma Hayek and her husband have tied the knot -- again.

Hayek spokeswoman Jillian Fowkes said Sunday in Los Angeles that the Mexican-born actress and French magnate Francois-Henri Pinault renewed their wedding vows Saturday in a ceremony at Venice's La Fenice opera house.

Hayek and Pinault originally were married in a small civil ceremony in Paris last Valentine's Day.

This time, the couple made it a weekend-long celebration, starting with a cocktail party at Punta della Dogana, an art museum owned by the groom's father, Francois Pinault.

Among those attending were actresses Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz and Ashley Judd, plus U2 frontman Bono and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, as well as former French President Jacques Chirac.

She is absolutely gorgeous. Btw, whoever captioned the pix, that was Diego Luna with Gael Garcia Bernal, luv them both!

[dreamer1]

She looked really beautiful, very happy for them!

[VoodooAcrobat]

Salma, if it doesn't work out my number is......

[joycehelene]

A wedding celebration in Venice at La Fenice is really special!

[coastalcarla]

Why do so many catty individuals always gravitate to the entertainment section of this site? If you find celebrity excess so offensive, why don't you stay away from the articles? Do you enjoy getting your undies in a wad about things this inconsequential?

[trief]

It is about envy. The fuel of all liberals.

[IrishTaco]

Are you serious?? I don't know what being a liberal has to do with it, I am a liberal, as were most of the individuals attending Salma's wedding and I love her. So enough with the broad strokes.

[SuperBucky]

This is really a big hit on Bono's reputation. Attending an event that gobbles resources, with millionaires that eat the poor..he should be ashamed. And by the way, Slema Hayak looks like a rag without her make up..

[coastalcarla]

My, are we just a ray of sunshine?

[IrishTaco]

They were eating the poor at the reception?? It didn't say anything about that in the article.;)

[derrickhoyle]

If it's true, sounds like the rich are more gracious than I thought.

[SuperBucky]

Look at meeeeee!!

[SuperBucky]

BOOO....

[gevan]

Wait, they were already married? Then why are we looking at these people at their party?

[Heidi Guntrum]

When you are rich you have 2 or 3 weddings. Evidently it isn't a sign of being out of touch or a showing of gluttony, it's good for the local economy and that is the important thing.

Even though she stated in several publications that spending millions on a wedding isn't her dream and she would never do it.

[SousioXXX]

Sorry, but all weddings suck. From the looks on all the guests' faces this one was no different. I like Salma, but this thing is doomed.

[JKDMan]

Where are Salma's Black friends???

[BBC9nch]

apparently there are none, it looks like there was a black bodyguard though

[cocolola]

Where are her Black friends? Where are her Latino friends????

[QueenCeleste]

My, aren't we p.c.? One can have a variety of friends of one color with great diversity among that group of friends. (Jacques Chirac to David Blaine!) And perhaps she didn't grow up with any black friends. Would you criticize an African American couple if no white guests attended their wedding?

[martinfrosa]

What do you think the "carbon footprint" of this wedding was? How about if you include all those private jet flights? I'm surprised Prince Charles didn't show up since he was using a private jet all last week to go to meetings and warn folks about global warming.

[cgpunker]

Didn't she just come out and say "Spending millions on a second wedding would be ridiculous!"

[coastalcarla]

So he's supposed to make his way across the globe in a Prius?

[trief]

If you are promoting the global warming hysteria, then yes. Walk and swim. If you are going to tax us back to the stone age, then lead the way.

[Joyful Woman]

I love the way she lets two men assist her in the last two photos. That's how I am. :) ;)

[mukTech]

It's nice to have money. You can marry the hottest woman inthe world.

[panhandlebabe]

Off point, but Ashley Judd looks like she's hitting the botox too much! Yikes!!!

[dj5850]

I thought the same thing. Boy, white women sure crack early!

[QueenCeleste]

You sound like a real charmer.
