And the afternoon after their romantic wedding, the newlyweds dazzled the crowd as they hopped in a water taxi to reunite with their guests and continue the weekend-long celebration.
Stepping out of the Aman Canal Grande hotel, the 16th-century palazzo where they wed and spent the night, the newlyweds went to the Belmond Hotel Cipriani for brunch.
Clooney looked dapper in a grey suit while his new bride looked stunning in a long-sleeved Giambattista Valli dress, both flashing their wedding bands.
Hundreds of locals flocked to the shore to catch a glimpse of the couple, with dozens of paparazzi following the newlyweds in speed boats on the canal.

The night before, Clooney said goodbye to bachelorhood with a stag party at his favourite restaurant with Hollywood mates.

As evening approached, Clooney set out in black tie for an all-boys do with friends to celebrate one of his last nights as a single man.
After shaking off paparazzi, Clooney headed to Da Ivo near Saint Mark’s Square where he dined with friends on the venue’s prized Venetian and Tuscan delicacies.

Clooney was then reported to have headed to the luxurious Cipriani hotel where he slept, but not before rounding off the evening with some shots and cigars.
The 53-year-old actor had 100 cases of his own tequila label flown in for his wedding and was expected to have cracked open bottles of the award-winning tipple at the buck’s party.
Clooney’s Lebanon-born bride was spotted in a long red gown heading off to her own soiree at the fresco-adorned Aman hotel with close friends, including Ellen Barkin — who threw the 36-year-old human rights lawyer a hen party several weeks ago.

Matt Damon, Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber were just a few of the stars in Venice for the wedding, with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and musician Bono tipped to follow on Saturday.
The Aman’s restaurant was turned into a nightclub where they danced the night away, with Lana Del Rey reportedly serenading the couple and Clooney dedicating the song When I fall in Love to Alamuddin.
Clooney, who has owned a home in northern Italy for years, was married once before, to Mad Men actor Talia Balsam, but the pair split in 1993, just before his breakout role in ER propelled him to the status of global sex symbol.
