Summary

  • Emma Roberts married Cody John on July 25 in Idaho after Vogue joined her a week earlier for the final fitting of her custom Monique Lhuillier wedding gown and after-party look.
  • The main dress took nine months and nearly 1,000 hours to complete, using 25 yards of silk chiffon dyed “antique rose” to create the vintage, tea-stained effect Roberts wanted.
  • Lhuillier built five looks into the bridal ensemble, including a removable lace shawl, a strapless neckline reveal, a draped bustle, chapel-length veil and lace voilette.
  • Roberts also chose an archival fall 2004 Lhuillier two-piece in black Chantilly lace and layered silk organza for the after-party, calling the unexpected look ideal for the Idaho celebration.
  • The fitting doubled as a family reveal at Lhuillier’s Los Angeles salon, where Roberts’ mother, sister, cousins, friends and bridesmaid-stylists reacted emotionally to the finished wardrobe.
