A large gathering of friends, family and fellow cast members attended Teresa Giudice’s wedding to Luis Ruela on Saturday at the Park Chateau in East Brunswick, New Jersey.
The bride’s makeup artists, however, stole the show when they attached a towering hairpiece to the reality star’s head thanks to hairstylist Lucia Casazza.
The over-the-top style was unveiled in full by Casazza, who has been working with Tre since Season 3 of the Bravo series, during an interview with Andy Cohen for his Sirius XM radio program on Monday morning.
We wanted hair befitting a queen since, as everyone knows, my girl Teresa is the queen of Jersey, said Casazza. “You either go big or go home. “My hair has to be over the top,” [Teresa] declared.

The stylist also disclosed that Ruela prefers his new bride’s hair off of her face, so on the couple’s wedding day, she was considerate of the groom’s tastes and swept Giudice’s locks into a twisted half-up look inside of a huge crown.
Casazza created a custom mesh piece using $7,000 worth of actual human hair extensions after being inspired by elaborate hairstyles worn by Italian and Mediterranean brides. The cost of style in and of itself? nearly $2,500.
More than 1,500 bobby pins were removed from Giudice’s hair after the reception by Casazza and other members of the glam squad in just under two hours, “before she could conduct any unpleasant freaky wedding activities” with the groom.
However, it’s possible that she had some trouble moving because, according to Casazza, Tre complained that the weight of all the hair on her neck was making it hurt at the end of the night.
Dorinda Medley, a former “Real Housewives of New York” star and guest at the wedding, went into Cohen’s radio show to share details about the occasion. She said, “It was a ‘Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair moment. She can pull it off despite having a lot of hair. It succeeded.
Due of Giudice’s hair’s towering height, many fans compared it to Marge Simpson’s, while others compared her appearance to Cindy Lou Who and “The Bride of Frankenstein.”
Others made light of the fact that Joe and Melissa Gorga, her brother and sister-in-law, were likely hiding in her thick hair. due to an argument with the bride, the couple abruptly canceled the wedding.
Cohen was undoubtedly thrilled with the appearance and asked Casazza to bring the collection of extensions to display at BravoCon this fall. Tre’s hair will undoubtedly go down in history because a Bravo wedding special is on the horizon.
Behind Her Makeup
To finish the look, DiStasio used what she refers to as her go-to “X-factor” products. Giudice used the Era Beauty Airbrush Foundation as her foundation and Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place as her primer. She used a Lilly Ghalichi lash combination and a Pat McGrath shadow for a smokey eye to add “a little drama and a little jersey” to the makeup.
She used a lip trio from Christian Audette, which she describes as a “bridal must-have,” including a matte liquid lipstick in the colour Pure from her collaboration with Ricón and the shades Paradise, Company Card, and Jardin de Paris for her lips.
“It matched her outfit, which you all noticed, and was such a delicate shade of bridal pink. Since her [first] garment had a blush pink undertone, we kept her colour scheme extremely muted and pastel “In reference to Giudice’s custom Mark Zunino Atelier wedding dress, DiStasio tells PEOPLE.
The Charlotte Tilbury perfect Finish Pressed Powder in medium and the Ben Nye Final Seal Setting Spray were also used by DiStasio to keep Giudice’s makeup tear-proof. She claims, “It’s like hairspray for the face, everything remains.”
In contrast, DiStasio chose a darker lip colour from Christian Audette for her second appearance of the night and added delicate sparkles from Makeup Forever for eyes that sparkled in the light.
DiStasio told PEOPLE that she was with Giudice “till four in the morning cutting out her hair” while she was on duty all night.
Giudice and Casazza worked closely together to create the wedding hair that has gone viral because Casazza wanted her client to seem like Jersey royalty.
In an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, Casazza said, “We wanted hair that was fit for a queen because, as we all know, my girl Teresa is the queen of Jersey.” “You either go big or you don’t. “My hair has to be over the top,” [Teresa] remarked.”
The towering, trend-starting updo, which cost “nearly $7,000 worth of custom luxury hair extensions,” was applied to Casazza’s hair over the course of a protracted procedure that had her standing up on a chair. The cost of the style itself came to about $2,500, making the overall cost close to $10,000.
The handcrafted crystal tiara from Bridal Styles Boutique in Brooklyn, New York, was put within Giudice’s hair in a twisted half-up style because Casazza mentioned that Ruelas prefers to wear her hair out of her face.
Casazza and Giudice exchanged Instagram pictures and Reels to find inspiration for the hairstyle, which was influenced by brides from Italy and the Mediterranean who had intricate hairstyles.
DiStasio, who worked as the bride’s makeup artist for 14 years, claims that there was no trial run with the bride.
“When are we going to have a trial, she demands. and I told Teresa, “We have been doing trials for more than ten years!”” She tells PEOPLE that the finished appearance is “clean, soft, and glowy.”
“There’s definitely a lot of trusts there when it comes to my connection with Teresa as her makeup artist [and] as her friend, and she knows that I will never let her down,” she continues.
Giudice first intended to test the waters in the beauty industry, but DiStasio said she was “calm, cool, and collected” in the glam chair.
Teresa, she says, “may come out as this diva or this like bridezilla what have you, but she was none of the above.” “Teresa is much more innocent, serene, and enjoyable than people give her credit for being. She was a breath of fresh air because she didn’t utter a sound.”
She didn’t start to feel anxious until she finished her last makeup touches at the chapel. It was similar to witnessing a 25-year-old woman get ready to marry the love of her life by walking down the aisle.
“It was lovely and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at all. It was so fantastical “DiStasio continues about the wedding, which was attended by Bravolebrities and the couple’s family and friends at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens in East Brunswick, New Jersey.
“We all know Theresa is a lover of love. She is prepared and has everything!”
