Billie Lourd wears gown honouring late mother Carrie Fisher in first photos from wedding to Austen Rydell
msn.comBillie Lourd subtly honoured her late mother Carrie Fisher with the wedding gown she wore to marry Austen Rydell. Lourd, 29, and Rydell, 29, exchanged vows over the weekend during a ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
For the occasion, the Scream Queens and American Horror Story star wore a custom off-the-shoulder Rodarte dress, which she told Vogue she chose because of the designers’ connection to her mother. “I discovered Kate and Laura [Mulleavy, Rodarte’s designers] after they interviewed my mom for an article in 2014 and immediately fell in love,” Lourd explained. “So when I started thinking about who I wanted to design my wedding dress, they were the first people who came to mind. ”According to Lourd, the choice was fitting because she has always been a “massive fan” of the pair’s work, and “thought their elegant, ethereal, unique style was a perfect fit for [her] - kind of - elegant, ethereal, unique personality,” and because she “felt a strong connection to them because of their connection to [her] mom”. “And because they are California gals just like me!” she added.
The design process was easy, according to Lourd, who recalled how the first dress the design duo brought out for her to try “turned out to be exactly what I wanted”.
While she noted that the ease with which she found her wedding gown was “every gal’s dream,” she told Vogue that the one change that was required was changing the colour of the gown from green to white.
