Olivia Culpo effortlessly reasons out her choice of wedding gown
Speaking with Vogue, Olivia Culpo opened up about her choice to wear a traditional ballgown wedding attire. She said she wanted the gown to be classy and not too ‘sexy’. The crepe ball gown has buttons down the back and was styled with a chiffon 16-foot lace veil and light makeup.
The design of this outfit was driven by their decision to have the ceremony at Watch Hill church, near their residence. Despite having an image of what she wanted - something simple, modest, and with sleeves falling below her wrists - Culpo could hardly find the perfect dress online.
The I Feel Pretty star desired the dress to appear effortless and flattering in order to showcase its simplicity. Additionally, she mentioned that her husband's fondness for timeless, elegant attire played a major role in her choice.
She said, "I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it’s complementing me, not overpowering me. There’s so much beauty and simplicity. When I think about Christian and what he loves and the moments that he thinks that I’m most beautiful, it’s absolutely in something like this: timeless, covered and elegant."
Culpo collaborated closely with one of Dolce & Gabbana's fashion designers until they came up with a final product that resembled exactly what had been outlined in their sketch.
