In an interview with Vogue, Olivia shared the story behind her personalized vision for the wedding dress.
Reflecting her belief that marriage signifies “a covenant” and “the beginning of the rest of your life,” she envisioned her attire to symbolize the gravity of this commitment. Teaming up with Dolce & Gabbana, Culpo aimed for a gown that exuded elegance, timelessness, and understated allure.
On June 29, she walked down the aisle in Watch Hill, Rhode Island donning a sleeved crepe ball gown with an airy skirt and a stunning 16-foot lace veil.
“I didn’t want it to exude s*x in any way, shape, or form,” she expressed.
Additionally, Culpo’s decision to prioritize a church ceremony influenced the design of her dress featuring long sleeves, a high neckline, and an elegant dropped waist. Most endearingly, she talked about the newly married couple’s shared values when she said, “When I think about Christian and his preferences it’s all, about timeless, elegance”
