The event started on Friday, with a wedding reception on Saturday at the Aman Canal Grande resort.

On Sunday, Amal made her first appearance as 'Mrs Clooney' in a Giambattista Valli floral gown (pictured top), before the couple made their union official with a short ceremony at Venice City Hall on Monday (pictured above).

It's thought the cost of the wedding included Amal's stunning lace Oscar de la Renta gown, featured on Hello! and People magazines this week.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the wedding pricetag also included the hire of water taxis to take guests to and from various venues; the rooms in which they stayed at the five-star Hotel Cipriani, and the Saturday reception at the Aman Hotel.

The couple also gave out iPods loaded with a collection of their favourite songs as gifts to guests.
