Brides-to-be, if you’re looking to throw a wedding that feels non-traditional yet is still totally chic, just turn to Solange Knowles for inspiration. After her wedding to longtime boyfriend, video director Alan Ferguson, in New Orleans on Sunday, Vogue released the official wedding portraits, snapped by photographer Rog Walker, and at a glance, the singer became our official offbeat bridal muse.
The ceremony was full of eclectic details that were all flawlessly refined. In other words, the nuptials were so Solange, from the glamorously gothic setting of the Marigny Opera House, where 200 close family and friends, including Beyoncé, Jay Z and Blue Ivy, watched the singer say “I do” to the bride + groom’s low-key arrival — together, they rolled up on white-painted vintage bicycles, for which the singer wore a cream jumpsuit with a plunging scoop neck and cape-like sleeves. Ferguson wore an all-white tux.
The bride then changed into a white minimalist Kenzo gown for the ceremony, complete with a floor-length circular cape in place of a veil, and accessorized with matching gold wrist cuffs and a bright orange lip — an ensemble that made her a standout among the 10-strong bridal party who also wore all white, a wedding trend everyone from Kate Middleton to Kim Kardashian has embraced. The Knowles’ version was hands-down the coolest, with bridesmaids in white satin pant suits, crop tops + matching midis and body con slip dresses — the latter reserved for Beyoncé, who dressed it up with t-strap platforms, a gold choker, dark purple lips and long, dark blonde curls. Mama Tina Knowles stood next to the sisters in the front row of Solange’s wedding pix looking impossibly gorgeous, too. Basically, the Knowles’ have once again raised the bar. In lieu of throwing rice in honor of the happy couple, we’ll just bow down.
