Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge officially tied the knot in the South of France on April 22 in a lavish ceremony surrounded by their loved ones. The two said “I do” at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, and just as suspected, the bride choose Chanel for the big day.

Richie wore not one, not two, but three different custom creations throughout the celebrations. To kick things off, she chose a high-neck, sheer long-sleeve dress for the rehearsal dinner that featured all-over beaded fringe that dangled off the dress.

For her walk down the aisle, Richie wore a halter-style gown covered in white sequins which was inspired from a look in the Chanel Fall 2023 collection. The bride called the gown “magic,” in an interview with Vogue, and pointed out some sentimental nods added to the custom look, including heart shapes on the bodice and on the skirt, plus the embroidery of “S&E” with the date for her “something blue.”

Finally, the reception called for something a bit more relaxed, so the bride wore a structured mini dress with a Chanel camellia flower on the bodice that was inspired by a dress Claudia Schiffer wore down the Chanel runway in 1993. A short veil accentuated the bridal look, which Richie called “my little girl dream.”

The bride told the outlet, “I always had this vision of the big princess dress, and going big, but as I got older, I realized that I wanted something a bit more simple. Maybe ‘simple’ isn’t the right word because my dress definitely is not simple!”

Guests included Richie’s superstar father Lionel Richie, mother Diane Alexander and sister Nicole Richie. The proud sister shared a photo fixing the bride’s train with the caption, “I love you more than anything 🤍👰‍♀️.” For the ceremony, Nicole wore a strapless black archival Donna Karen gown with sculptural shoulder, low back and long train.

Nicole’s husband Joel Madden was in attendance, along with his twin brother Benji Madden and his wife, none other than Cameron Diaz. Joel shared a photo posing with his father-in-law and brother looking dapper in tuxedos. “My favorite people of all time,” Sofia commented. Other notable guests included Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum.

The 24-year-old bride has been romantically linked to the 29-year-old son of Sir Lucian Grainge, the chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, since going Instagram official in March of 2021.

When Entertainment Tonight reported the news of the couple’s relationship in April 2021, the outlet said that Sofia and Grainge “have been friends for years and Elliot is also close with Sofia’s brother, Miles,” noting her family’s approval.

The two have been prepping for the big day all week in the South of France, and the bride-to-be put on a very fashionable display. She posed for many Instagram photos wearing bridal white. One pic featured Sofia in a white sleeveless button-up tank with pockets and a matching maxi skirt, which she accessorized with a Chanel ribbon tied around her braided hair and a white Chanel tweed purse with floral appliqués and ribboned bows.

In another photo shared on Instagram, Sofia wore a plunging Chanel maxi dress with black piping and carried a top-handle Chanel box clutch.

In a third, she wore a sleeveless mod-inspired white mini dress with large gold buttons and (what else?) Chanel accessories, including a multicolor purse and cap-toe heels.

 

Grainge popped the question in April 2022 with a hefty emerald-cut diamond ring. The couple was surrounded by scattered flower petals and candles in a tropical setting, with friends and family. The model captioned her social media post, “Forever isn’t long enough.”

The couple celebrated their engagement party in May of last year over Memorial Day weekend, seemingly at the family home with some of their nearest and dearest in attendance. Sofia also celebrated her bridal shower in February with her sister, Nicole, her mother, her fiancé and a large group of friends. She wore bridal white, opting for a plunging knit halter dress, which she wore with her blonde hair in loose waves, adding a chic pair of white heels.

A month before saying “I do,” the bride announced on Instagram that she converted to Judaism. She shared a photo of herself signing a document written in Hebrew. “What a magical day,” she wrote. “I want to thank cantor Nathan Lam for helping me along this journey of converting to Judaism. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Today was that day!!!”

Congratulations are in order for the happy couple!
