Anna Nicole Smith's funeral was modeled after a wedding, right down to her ball gown.
"Every stitch was a labor of love," says Beverly Hills designer Pol' Atteu, who crafted the dress that Smith wore for her burial on March 2. "My tears are all over that dress."
The pink and ivory gown (with a matching tiara) was made of French lace, pearls and Swarovski crystals and took a day and a half to make.
The heart design and embroidered silk flowers over the bust symbolize Smith's devastation over son Daniel's death, "She died of a broken heart."
Why didn't Anna Nicole's mother show up for the funeral reception? What did Howard K. Stern say during his bitter eulogy? What were the harsh words said by the preacher?
