Lily Collins doesn’t need to take fashion cues from her Emily in Paris character, Emily Cooper, as she knows exactly how to make a statement!

The 32-year-old and Charlie McDowell tied the knot in September 2021, and it’s safe to say the actress looked absolutely breathtaking.

The bride wore custom Ralph Lauren, and her dress featured tiny but important details, which wasn’t easy to put together.

“Thank you @ralphlauren for working so closely with me to dream up this magical dress. It’s my ultimate dream combination of Western Americana and British Victorian. Carefully handcrafted over nearly 200 hours, every detail was perfect — from the Calais-Caudry lace to the Swarovski-beaded micro flowers and silk organza petals. It’s the most beautiful, memorable gown I will ever wear and I couldn’t have imagined it any other way…” she wrote.

At the time, Collins took to Instagram to show off the venue — Colorado’s Dunton Hot Springs, a luxury ranch on the West Coast. “I’ve never wanted to be someone’s someone more than I do yours, and now I get to be your wife. On September 4th, 2021 we officially became each other’s forever. I love you beyond @charliemcdowell…⁣” she gushed. 

Funny enough, the Mirror Mirror alum was pleasantly surprised at the place where she said “I do.”

“It was a place called Dunton Hot Springs in Colorado. We had never actually been there until about the day before we got married, which was really fun planning a wedding before visiting a location, but it was stunning and we love nature,” the Emily in Paris star quipped.

Fortunately, everything worked out, and the brunette babe was happy with their decision to have a ceremony in the wilderness. “I don’t think I knew I was quite as outdoorsy as I became, but I grew up in the English countryside, so I’ve always loved being outdoors,” she shared. “We really like embracing new adventures.”

From the instant McDowell and Collins met, their chemistry was spot-on.

“We both are in the industry and we have parents that are in the similar industry as well, but we met randomly actually,” Collins told Ellen DeGeneres, referring to her famous parentsPhil Collins and Jill Tavelman. (McDowell’s mom is actress Mary Steenburgen.) “We were kind of surprised we hadn’t met. We have been in the same rooms a bunch of times but never met — it’s one of those cheesy but love at first sight things.”

Who doesn’t love a good love story?
