Well, actually, I want to start with the civil wedding attire. I don't know the designer of the suit that Marie-Chantal wore, but my best guess would have to be Valentino, for obvious reasons. My second best guess would have to be Chanel. (I don't know the date of the civil wedding; I assume it was June 30 because, usually, civil weddings take place the day before the religious wedding.)
The picture posted is, unfortunately, one of three pictures I've ever been able to find on the internet. I actually didn't even know MC and Pavlos had a civil wedding until I found these.

Next we have the pre-wedding dinner, which was hosted by the Miller family two nights before the wedding. The dinner - which nearly 1300 royals, socialites, heads of states and fashion designers, just to name a few, from all over the world attended - was held at the Wrotham Park estate in Hertfordshire, England. MC wore a blue celadon taffeta embroidered Valentino ball gown for the occasion.

And now that you have a little taste of MC's pre-wedding day fashion, even though it is only a little taste, we finally move on to MC's wedding gown.

Marie-Chantal’s Valentino wedding gown was created of pearl-encrusted ivory silk studded with rose appliques and a 4.5-meter train of Chantilly lace. The gown, which reportedly costs about £150,000 ($225,000), took twenty-five seamstresses four months and twelve different kinds of lace to make.
In November 2013, the gown was put on display at Valentino: Master of Couture at Somerset House in London. The exhibit was open from November 29, 2012 to March 3, 2013.
