Supermodel Barbara Palvin said “I do” to “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” alum Dylan Sprouse during a countryside wedding in Hungary on July 15. The Victoria’s Secret Angel looked breathtaking in an elegant Vivienne Westwood gown custom-created for her special day. 

The silk bridal dress featured a low-cut scoop neck with wide-set straps that emphasized Palvin’s decolletage, a fitted bodice with boning tapering in at the waist, ruched fabric gathered around her hips for a voluminous and dimensional skirt, and a short train that mimicked the ruching effect around her midsection when bustled. 

The Hungarian model accessorized with sheer gloves extending past her elbows, a custom-made diamond choker and pearl stud earrings by Tiffany & Co., diamond barrettes pinning her silky strands in place behind her ears, ivory-colored pointed-toe Jimmy Choo heels with a slim strand of diamonds curving over the top of the foot, and a stunning cathedral veil. Palvin was a timeless beauty in the classic ensemble with vintage-inspired touches.

Princess Diana’s niece Lady Amelia Spencer tied the knot with fitness coach Greg Mallett, her boyfriend of 14 years, on March 21 in the mountains of South Africa. The royal bride wore Atelier Versace on her wedding day, and she told Vogue all about the jaw-dropping long-sleeve and lace number created just for her. 

“I have always loved Versace, and so it was a very easy decision and a dream come true,” Lady Amelia shared. “My gown was crafted, over the course of two and a half months, from custom silk rebrodé lace and featured a two-and-a-half-meter train, Swarovski crystals, a hand-embroidered neckline, and structured shoulders, with intricate flower patterns running throughout.”

The stunning trumpet-style gown included lace long-sleeves with sheer panels and buttons trailing up the underside of the forearm, subtle shoulder pads and a low-cut neckline, a semi-sheer bodice with floral lace boning, an open back with a delicate strand of pearls holding the sleeves in place, and a fit-and-flare skirt trailing into a dramatic train. Lady Amelia also wore a 16-foot-long silk tulle veil edged with the same lace pattern featured throughout her gown, and she accessorized with a dazzling pair of diamond drop earrings. Her Jimmy Choo platform heels were a showstopper too, with various sizes of cream- and blush-colored pearls encrusted throughout and a large pearl resting atop the toes. The elaborate ensemble was certainly fit for royalty.

For professional gymnast Simone Biles’ destination wedding to her longtime beau, NFL player Jonathan Owens, she wore an ethereal ballroom gown with gorgeous floral lace detailing. Walking down the aisle in Mexico on May 6, the Olympic gold medalist was incandescent in a bespoke Galia Lahav dress. The bridal gown featured a corset-style bodysuit with a semi-sheer bodice, boning tapering inward from the bust, and stunning floral lace appliqués that trailed down the skirt and over Biles’ shoulders across the straps. The gauzy skirt fell in gentle pleats and featured a thigh-high slit that offered a glimpse at the intricate bodysuit underneath. The billowing skirt gave way to a long train. The dress in its entirety felt like a modern and enchanting take on a classic princess gown.

Of her chosen wedding dress style, Biles told Vogue, “I was nervous about having a ball gown because I’m so petite — but it works perfect. The leg slit was very crucial. It was to add, in my head, more length to my body. I think this is exactly how brides are supposed to feel: luxurious, beautiful, kind of on top of the world.”

The Olympian added a variety of understated accessories to her bridal look, ultimately letting her gown be the star of the show. For her wedding jewels and shoes, Biles chose a simple diamond tennis necklace, a few white gold bracelets, diamond stud earrings, a stunning diamond-and-sapphire pear-shaped statement ring, and cream-colored slingback heels.

Model Taylor Hill and private equity investor Daniel Fryer became husband and wife in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado on June 10. For their Western-themed nuptials, the Victoria’s Secret Angel worked with Etro to create the fashion house’s first-ever wedding dress, which “made it all the more magical” (via Vogue). 

The bespoke semi-sheer tulle gown was feminine and romantic, featuring a ruffled off-the-shoulder neckline, a cinched waistline with a delicate bowed belt, a floaty tiered skirt that extended into a ruffle-trimmed train, and beaded appliqués throughout the dress. The flouncy ruffled look is reminiscent of similarly-styled gowns of the 1930s, giving it a pretty vintage flair. Hill wore a matching cathedral veil that made the ethereal ensemble even more dramatic and enchanting.

The bride gushed about the dress during her conversation with Vogue, sharing, “Etro literally took everything that was in my brain and transformed it into reality. The gown is truly the dress of my dreams. It is elegant, but gives a nod to boho with its stunning material, movement, and beading.” Hill accessorized with a dainty necklace strung with a single pearl, as well as a pearl-strand bracelet and delicate pearl drop earrings, all by David Yurman. She chose to forgo shoes, instead walking barefoot to feel “connected to the earth,” as she wrote on Instagram.

Eminem’s eldest daughter Alaina Scott married her boyfriend of nine years, Matt Moeller, on June 9 during a whimsical garden party ceremony in Detroit, Michigan. The daughter of rap royalty worked with couture bridal designer Katerina Bocci “to bring her ideas to life,” creating a bespoke mermaid-style wedding gown with a figure-hugging beaded bodice, sheer tulle straps, a low-cut V-neckline, and a lush ruffled skirt that flowed into a sweeping train (per People). Scott also wore a hand-beaded cathedral veil, a sparkling bejeweled headpiece, and two delicate bracelets.

Bocci, who hand-drew the intricate motif throughout the bodice of Scott’s gown, told People, “We embellished the pattern with an array of thousands of mixed-glass beading, sequins, and seed beads.” 

For the nearly 7-foot-long train, the designer shared, “We created layer upon layer of thousands of handmade tulle ruffles with embroidery throughout the train. The result was stunning.”

On April 22, Sofia Richie said “I do,” taking music executive Elliot Grainge as her husband. The daughter of R&B singer Lionel Richie wore a bespoke Chanel gown during her wedding ceremony in the South of France. The design was a modified iteration of a gown from the fashion house’s spring/summer 2023 collection, altered to fit the bride’s vision and include several hidden personalized touches. 

Richie’s custom Chanel wedding dress featured a fitted silhouette that gently flared into a trumpet skirt with a high halter-top neckline. The entire gown was decorated with delicate embroidered lace and crystal embellishments and had two hearts — one right-side-up and the other upside down directly below it — woven into the complex detailing as a symbol of the couple’s love.

The trumpet skirt elongated into an ornate train, and Richie wore a shimmering veil that was even longer than the sweeping extension of her gown. She kept her accessories simple, opting for a single pair of diamond earrings. In Vogue’s Instagram post, the bride said, “I always had this vision of the big princess dress and going big, but as I got older, I realized that I wanted something a bit more simple.” She jokingly added, “Maybe ‘simple’ isn’t the right word because my dress definitely is not simple!”

Former “Mad Men” co-stars Anna Osceola and Jon Hamm tied the knot on June 25 in Big Sur, California, at the same location they filmed the final episode of their television show. 

The actor was a vision in her daring ballroom-style gown by Ines Di Santo, which featured a plunging strapless neckline with a dramatic, pointed bustier bound together with sheer mesh panels. The fitted bodice blossomed into a billowing pleated skirt with a thigh-high slit separating the luxurious fabric directly up the center of the gown. It’s a design that gorgeously balanced the classic princess look with a sexier, more grown-up silhouette. 

Osceola’s long auburn tresses fell in loose waves around her exposed decollete and shoulders, giving the edgy bridal ensemble an effortlessly chic vibe — fitting for the couple’s oceanside vista nuptials. The bride finished the look with a delicate diamond necklace, a sparkling gold bangle, and strappy white peep-toe heels.

I loved how classic it felt while giving that extra bit of excitement,” she explained, adding, “It feels classic yet still daydreamy. When I tried it on, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. I felt like a bride and there was only this dress.”
