The couple’s marriage took position this previous weekend in Cabo San Lucas, and the two worked with planner Mark Seed to bring their eyesight to lifestyle. Festivities kicked off with a floral-Friday-themed rehearsal evening meal. “I am a minimal bit of a procrastinator, so I didn’t start off searching for my rehearsal-meal gown right up until late January,” Billie admits. “I’ve usually liked Oscar de la Renta’s floral types, so I went to the retail store to come across a white floral robe. When I arrived, they asked me when my marriage was, and I confidently replied, ‘March!’ They appeared at me quizzically and claimed, ‘2023?’ I did not know people commenced planning for this whole wedding day factor over a yr in progress and awkwardly smiled, ‘2022…’ The saleswoman smiled and advised me most of their attire are customized and consider at minimum 6 months to make, but she would see if they took place to have something in stock in my dimensions. She went in the back again and then came out with my complete aspiration floral-Friday dress—a ground-size gown with flowers delicately embroidered all in excess of it. I strike the jackpot. I decided to hem it quick in the front and lengthy in the back, and it turned out extraordinary.”
For the ceremony on Saturday, the bride wore a custom off-the-shoulder Rodarte dress. “I discovered Kate and Laura [Mulleavy, Rodarte’s designers] soon after they interviewed my mother for an post in 2014 and immediately fell in really like,” Billie states. “So when I started off considering about who I required to design my marriage gown, they had been the 1st men and women who came to thoughts. I have constantly been a huge enthusiast of their function and believed their stylish, ethereal, special design and style was a excellent fit for my—kind of—elegant, ethereal, distinctive temperament. I also felt a sturdy relationship to them since of their connection to my mother and since they are California gals just like me!”
Billie went to the Rodarte studio in downtown L.A. to commence the style approach and rapidly fell in really like with what would finally develop into her gown. “The very first gown they brought out for me to attempt on turned out to be exactly what I wanted—every gal’s dream!” she says. The only detail that required to be changed was the color, as the authentic costume was inexperienced and Billie envisioned herself in classic bridal white.
“We acquired married on the beach at sunset, so I seriously desired something that mirrored the vibe of the ocean-y setting,” she states. “We determined to make the underlayer of the costume out of sequins. The underlayer of my temperament is also created of sequins, so it just felt appropriate,” she jokes. “The gown arrived out even superior than I could’ve ever imagined, and I come to feel so over and above grateful to Laura and Kate for building it all occur.”
Michelle Ceglia did the bride’s hair, and Eryn Kruger Mekash was on makeup. “I have labored with Eryn since Scream Queens season 1 in 2015 and Michelle given that American Horror Tale: Cult in 2017, so receiving to have two ladies I know and like so a lot with me at my wedding ceremony was just unbelievable.”
For jewelry, Billie wore her engagement ring—a diamond that was originally in the ring that her father proposed to her mom with and that Austen had reset. She also wore a pair of vintage Neil Lane diamond studs that her father gave her (one thing previous) her mom’s preferred ring, a blue fireplace opal that she wore all of the time (something blue) and a ring that her mom experienced given to a single of her closest mates (a little something borrowed).
The bride’s shoes ended up made by René Mancini and finished her wedding ceremony-day seem. “My father was walking all-around town browsing and arrived upon the retailer and located the best shoe,” Billie describes. “They reminded him of the sneakers my mother utilised to put on in the ’90s. But he had the very same encounter I had with my rehearsal-meal gown. It was a thirty day period right before the wedding, and they advised him they consider 4 months to make the sneakers. He talked to Mohamad, the supervisor of the retail outlet, and explained to him when the wedding ceremony was and questioned him if he could somehow hurry them, and he magically manufactured it transpire! When he came to choose up the footwear, it turned out my dad’s hunch about my mom was ideal. Mohamad advised him that my mother utilized to shop at their shop in New York City in the ’90s. The excellent shoe turned out to literally be the great shoe. It was serendipity!”
Austen opted for a Tom Ford tuxedo, and all of Billie’s ideal pals were in Halston.
The ceremony was intimate, with just spouse and children and the closest of close friends in attendance. “We wrote our have vows and sobbed the whole time,” Billie suggests. “Word to the wise—always use waterproof everything!”
Her mother’s two finest mates Gavin DeBecker and Bruce Wagner officiated. “It was the most hysterically brilliant and touching officiating in the history of officiating,” Billie states. “And in accurate Carrie style, we threw glitter in the air at the conclusion of the ceremony. It was magical. I could not have dreamed up a extra best wedding.”
Right after the ceremony, Billie modified into an soon after-occasion glimpse, also by Rodarte. “It was encouraged by my glam-ma Debbie Reynolds’s legendary dance outfits that she employed to dress in in all of her displays and is likely the most pleasurable bash outfit of all time,” Billie claims. “I am obsessed over and above belief. I’m possibly going to make it into an art piece in my dwelling because it’s way way too legendary to just hang on a hanger in a closet.
