The blushing bride wore three Chanel dresses for her luxurious wedding at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera.
Her first dress was at the rehearsal dinner for which the Daily Mail reported the guests wore a “cocktail dress”. The model wore an ivory sequin dress with a high neck and a delicately embellished bodice.
Her formal wedding dress, which she wore that day, was a delicate gown with iridescent white sequins and a plunging neckline. She wore her hair pulled back in a low bun and wore natural makeup.
In a video posted on Vogue’s official Instagram page, she revealed that as a little girl she dreamed of a “big princess dress” but now she’s more interested in a “simple” style.
The model also gushed about how she thought the future husband would react when he saw her: “Honestly, I think Elliott would love that.
“She is my biggest cheerleader when it comes to anything I wear. If he wasn’t crying, I would be so sad.”
The dress, which was designed and made at the Chanel Haute Couture Salon in Paris, also included a touching ode to her husband and classic wedding traditions.
For the ‘colour blue’, the designers included a blue ‘S&E’ design on the inside of the dress and to express the relationship of the young couple, they included two heart designs facing each other.
The last wedding dress she wore for the weekend was her reception dress, an ivory mini dress with the Chanel logo on the front.
She told Vogue that her final white dress will be the most understated because it was the last dress of the evening and that she will eat pizza and fries at the after party, which will be her “cabaret” at night.
the details
The Daily Mail reports that the couple said ‘yes’ in front of their closest friends and family — including Sofia’s parents Lionel Richie and Diane Alexander, Elliott’s father Lucien Gering and stepmother Caroline Gering, at a waterside five-star hotel.
Since Elliot is Jewish, Sophia converts to the faith so that the couple can marry in the traditional Jewish way with a rabbi officiating the ceremony.
The solemn ceremony took place under the Chuppa which, in their faith, symbolizes the Jewish home they will build together in their married life.
The bride’s shy sister, Nicole Richie, her husband, Joel Madden, and longtime partner of Lionel, Lisa Parigi, were there to witness the love-filled day and celebrate with the newlyweds. However, Sophia’s brother, Miles, was absent.
Other notable guests included Benji Madden and his wife, Cameron Diaz, and Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Rheum.
The model kicked off her wedding day with an intimate wedding breakfast and shared photos of the perfectly set table for 10 people on her Instagram.
In shades of pink, blue and yellow, she rocked a casual breakfast look, wearing a white blazer, black pajama pants, slippers, sunglasses and a white hat.
Although the model didn’t have any bridesmaids, she looked like she was getting ready with a group of girlfriends and she wore matching white pajamas to all of them. The shirts are embroidered with the wedding date in blue.
Earlier in the month, Sophia revealed that she had converted to Judaism before marrying Elliott, who was raised Jewish. She said on Instagram: “What a magical day. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Today was that day!!! »
The couple’s love story
The newlyweds announced their engagement in April last year through a cute post on Sofia’s Instagram account. She shared photos of the candlelight proposal, captioning the post, “Forever is not long enough.”
The couple started dating in early 2021 but have been friends for years as Elliott is close to his bride’s brother.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight after the couple went public with their relationship, a source said, “They’ve been friends for years and Elliot is also close with Sofia’s brother Miles. It’s very nice for Sofia to be dating someone her family approves of and loves.”
Sofia previously dated Kardashians star Scott Disick from 2017 to May 2020. They reconciled briefly in July of that year, however, calling things off in August.
