An exclusive look at Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge’s star-studded wedding in the South of France
In what some have already dubbed this year’s royal wedding, Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge exchanged vows at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes on Saturday. Celebrities including Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Joel Madden descended upon the iconic hotel in the South of France for the whirlwind wedding weekend, which took both Instagram and TikTok by storm.
For the other two looks, Sofia collaborated closely with her stylist, Liat Baruch, and Douchez to scour through Chanel couture shows of the past and choose the references that she loved. When it came to the rehearsal-dinner look, the team worked to re-create a gown worn by Stella Tennant in the 1997 Chanel couture fall show. “It is entirely hand-beaded,” Sofia says. “To me, it embodies the classic elegance and femininity that Karl Lagerfeld was such a genius at.
The night before the wedding, Sofia slept in a villa on the property with her bridesmaids. “We stayed up laughing all night,” she admits. “The next morning, I woke up with all of my bridesmaids and my sister and we went to an 8 a.m. rehearsal. We were all in our pajamas and had a lot of fun and then that led into breakfast. They surprised me with balloons and all of my favorite breakfast foods—we were like giddy little girls getting excited for the day to come.
The ceremony started at 6 p.m., and the bride was escorted by her father down the aisle, which was lined with a clear glass marquee and adorned with an abundance of white and cream florals by. “It was a seven-and-a-half-minute walk down the allée for each of us,” Sofia notes. “We had it all timed, and it felt like someone was looking out for us up above because it was a very cloudy day and then the clouds parted.
Rabbi Thomas Solomon officiated a traditional Jewish wedding that paid homage to the iconic surroundings of Hotel du Cap. “It was very important to Elliot’s family and to me, now that I’ve converted, that it be a traditional Jewish ceremony,” Sofia says. “Legally we had to get married in the States beforehand, so right before [we left for France], we got married at home with just our parents.
