If you don’t care about the hairspray, get the hell out of her way.
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice married Luis Ruela Saturday at the Park Chateau in East Brunswick, NJ in front of a crowd of friends, family and co-stars.
But the members of the bride’s glamorous team were the MVPs of the night, as hairstylist Lucia Casazza installed a towering hairpiece on the reality star’s head.
In an interview with Andy Cohen for his Sirius XM radio show Monday morning, Casazza, who has worked with Tre since Season 3 of the Bravo show, revealed all the details of the over-the-top look.
“As we know, my girl Teresa is the Queen of Jersey, so we needed hair fit for a queen,” revealed Casazza. “You grow up or you go home. [Teresa] said, ‘My hair must be over the top.’”

The stylist also revealed that Ruela prefers to pull his new bride’s hair out of her face, so on the couple’s big day, she listened to the groom’s preferences and swept Giudice’s tresses into a twisted, semi-updo look in a huge crown.
Inspired by Italian and Mediterranean brides with elaborate hairstyles, Casazza built a custom web piece using $7,000 in human hair extensions. The price of the styling itself? Around $2,500.

It took nearly two hours for Casazza and other members of the glam team to remove more than 1,500 bobby pins from Giudice’s hair after the reception — “before she could do any nasty, freaky wedding activities with the groom.”
But she may have had some trouble moving, as Casazza said Tre complained that her neck ached under the weight of so much hair at the end of the night.

Former Real Housewives of New York star and wedding guest Dorinda Medley called Cohen’s radio show to also cover the event: “It was a ‘Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let your hair down’ moment. There was a lot of hair, but she can pull it off. It worked.”
Fans flocked to social media to comment on the look, with many comparing Giudice’s hair to Marge Simpson, thanks to its towering height; others compared their look to Cindy Lou Who and “The Bride of Frankenstein.”

Others joked about brother-in-law and sister-in-law Joe and Melissa Gorga hid in her voluminous hair. when the couple pulled out of the wedding at the last minute due to a disagreement with the bride.
Cohen was certainly smitten with the look, and urged Casazza to bring the expansion pack to be shown at BravoCon this fall. With an upcoming Bravo wedding special, Tre’s hair is sure to go down in history.
