"I wanted to keep it elegant and classic since our ceremony was in a church, but I also wanted there to be a light feel to the dress," she told the publication. "[Monique's team] really guided me through my vision. We started with a pretty simple dress that I redesigned a bit to get the perfect timeless feel." The bride completed the ensemble with her mom's necklace, which her sisters also wore to get married. The groom, for his part, looked dapper in a custom Celine tuxedo designed by Hedi Slimane.
