Details of the dress include an inscription of ‘S&E’ on the inside, for her ‘something blue’.
The dress also had two heart embellishments, to symbolize the couple’s bond.
Sofia teamed up with Chanel creative director Virginie Viard to make her vision of a wedding dress come to life, and while she admitted she was more likely to want a “princess dress” as she got older, she realized she wanted something “something simpler.”
Sofia also discussed her makeup for the wedding weekend.
“I keep the makeup super simple and clean all weekend. I just want it to feel timeless: I don’t want to look back 20 years from now and say, “She’s a glamazon.”
As for her after-party dress, Richie wore a short structured dress with the signature Chanel camellia on the front, inspired by Claudia Schiffer’s runway dress.
