ACTRESS Billie Lourd had the time of her life throughout her wedding weekend final week. The Scream Queens star married producer Austen Rydell in an intimate celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
While the information of her marriage excited followers, this was not what obtained them speaking.
It was her wedding robe which drew probably the most buzz. The custom-made robe by Rodarte’s designers paid tribute to her late mom, Carrie Fisher.
Speaking to Vogue, the actress revealed the connection between her mom, the robe, and the designers’ Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
“I immediately fell in love,” Lourd advised Vogue. “So, when I started thinking about who I wanted to design my wedding dress, they were the first people who came to mind. I have always been a massive fan of their work and thought their elegant, ethereal, unique personality.
“I also felt a strong connection to them because of their connection to my mum and because they are California gals just like me!”
Apart from the costume, Lourd’s sneakers had been additionally a memory of her late mom. In truth, her father Bryan Lourd picked them as a result of “they reminded him of the sneakers my mum used to put on within the ‘90s.” And her bridal jewellery packed the same sentiment.
In addition to her engagement ring – which was reset from a ring her father used to propose to her mother – Lourd also paired her wedding outfit with two vintage Neil Lane diamond studs from her father as “something old”. For her “something blue” she wore her mother’s favorite ring, a blue hearth opal.
But the tribute doesn’t finish there. Her wedding with Rydell was officiated by two of her mom’s greatest associates – Gavin DeBecker and Bruce Wagner.
Reflecting on her wedding ceremony, Lourd shared that it couldn’t have been extra good. “And in true Carrie fashion, we threw glitter in the air at the end of the ceremony. It was magical. I could have not dreamed up a more perfect wedding.”
