During the religious ceremony, Princess Grace carried this gilt-edged book, which contains a small crucifix inside the front cover. It is filled with prayers, hymns,meditations, and other information related to recent pontifical decrees. The book is covered with silk faille neatly affixed under the decorated endpapers and appliqued with the same rose point lace used for the bride's dress. A border is formed by one of the lace motifs-stylized leaves made with alternating open and dense lace stitches-white roses with relief petals grace the corners. Seed pearls accent the lace and form a cross on the front.
A small piece of the precious lace to the matching dress . The shoes are classic pumps with 2 1/2 inch high heels. Grace Kelly's bridal shoes do contain one secret. Grace has requested that the traditional copper penny for good luck be hidden in the construction of the shoe.
