Nikki Reed gets some help with her wedding gown in this gorgeous pic from her recent nuptials to Ian Somerhalder, featured in the October 2015 issue of Brides.
Here’s what the 27-year-old actress had to share about her wedding:
On the vibe: “We wanted a Louisiana backyard-barbecue feel, with food stations and a dance floor for our closest friends and family.”
On what mattered most: “It really was all about the food, the dancing, and the love.”
On the surprise: “We really wanted our wedding to be small, intimate, and about the two of us. We didn’t want our loved ones to show up with any expectations or squeezed into formal attire.”
On the dress: “Claire [Pettibone] was an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she an amazing designer, but she has the most wonderful energy. We were on the same page from the moment we met.”
On the music: “Ellis Hall sang the night away. Live music is so important to us, and we couldn’t imagine anyone but Ellis there with us.”
