Tina Turner has shared
her personal wedding album with HELLO! The singer wore a striking Armani custom-designed
green taffeta and a black silk tulle dress adorned with Swarovski crystals for
her Buddhist-inspired wedding to German music producer Erwin Bach.
Tina Turner, 73, married her
partner Erwin Bach, 57, in a star-studded civil ceremony at their Chateau Algonquin
home on the banks of Lake Zurich in Kuesnacht ,
Switzerland .
The newlyweds then threw a
star-studded bash at their Swiss villa estate on Lake
Zurich to celebrate their nuptials at
their Swiss villa estate on Lake
Zurich on Sunday on July
21, 2013 to celebrate the nuptials. This is Bach's first marriage and Tina's
second.
The singer and Bach have been
together for 27 years after meeting at Heathrow Airport ,
but she told HELLO that she has finally reached a stage in her life
that she calls her "Nirvana".
“It’s that happiness that people talk about, when you wish for nothing, when you can finally take a deep breath and say, ‘Everything is good.’ It’s a wonderful place to be.”
The lavish affair was
decorated with 70,000 red and yellow roses from Holland .
Among the 120 guests at the
bash were high profile celebrity guests like Oprah Winfrey David Bowie, Giorgio
Armani, Sade and Bryan Adams.
Tina who decided against the
traditional white wedding dress and accessorized her gown with leggings
and strappy heels, asked all her female guests to wear white while men
donned formal suits and black ties, so the 73-year-old bride definitely
stood out in her custom-designed green Armani wedding dress!
The What’s Love Got To Do With It singer also revealed how she found her frock for the occasion – after seeing it on a catwalk in
She said:
“I thought, ‘I gotta have that, even if I never wear it.’ Then I thought, ‘I know, that will be my wedding dress."
Turner has been practicing
the Buddhist faith since the '70s. Within the Buddhist religion, colours play
an important role and green symbolizes balance and harmony. Perhaps Tina's
wedding dress colour of choice had more to do than just fashion...
And despite Turner’s Buddhist
background, the ceremony reflected “the American tradition I grew up with,
tailoring it a little bit to me,” she said.
Meanwhile, there was a
security cordon erected around her property during the couple's big day as
onlookers crowded in to catch a glimpse of proceedings. But police spokeswoman, Esther
Suber, insisted the roped off zone was "not because Tina Turner wants this
but to avoid many boats" crowding near the manor.
The couple jetted off to Italy after the
wedding for their honeymoon.
