Despite the fact that many engaged couples prefer extravagant celebrations in grand locations, there is a growing trend for less formal, understated city weddings that exude charm and warmth. Naomi Watts, 54, and Billy Crudup, an actor, tied the knot in secret at a New York City courthouse this past weekend.
Watts’s timeless ivory guipure lace gown is sure to be a source of inspiration for many other city and registry office brides. Oscar de la Renta, a New York-based fashion designer, created the white gown. It has an A-line skirt that almost touches the ground, a bustier-style bodice, and a sweetheart neckline.
Jeanann Williams, her stylist, put together the outfit, which can be purchased online at Oscar de la Renta. The gold Gianvito Rossi strappy sandals, a diamond necklace by Anita Ko, and jewelry by Briony Raymond completed the look. Summer bride essentials include white sunglasses with frames and a small bouquet of seasonal white flowers and greenery tied with a cream silk ribbon.
On the Instagram account of her stylist, Jeanann Williams, Watts wrote: I appreciate you convincing me to go beyond my own closet and sending me the stunning dress! Choosing a timeless white dress made of lightweight lace, satin, or linen proves to be a smart choice for staying cool while exuding absolute glamour at more subdued summer weddings like Naomi’s. Watts suggested that she initially had no intention of purchasing a new wedding dress. From Erdem, Cecilie Bahnsen, and Simone Rocha’s ethereal creations to the minimalist offerings of 16Arlington, Roksanda, and Zimmermann, there is a style for everyone.
