On August 20th, 2022, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez celebrated a lavish wedding with their closest friends and family at Affleck’s 87-acre estate in Riceboro, Georgia, on the Hampton Island preserve outside of Savannah. This was only a month after saying “I do” in Las Vegas. There were several A-Listers in attendance, including Affleck’s longtime friends Matt Damon and his life Luciana, director Kevin Smith and his wife, Jennifer, and top Hollywood talent agent Patrick Whitesell and his wife, model/actress Pia Miller. Podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty officiated the ceremony.
According to multiple reports, the three-day celebration costed over $400,000. The celebration included a lavish rehearsal dinner, a ceremony held in in a tree-lined tent, a waterfront dinner, plenty of fireworks. Let’s get into some of the details of the décor for this monumental celebration. Vintage Mismatched Fine China from Lillian’s China in Savannah, Georgia, was used for the rehearsal dinner. The reception at the barn was sparkling enchanted forest inspired. The napkins at brunch were embroidered with blue and white accents. Guests at the wedding were dressed in all-white. Other preparations for the celebrations included a marquee on the estate with pristine white chairs set up for guests surrounded by greenery and white flowers, a white piano, and elegant tables set up on a riverfront dock and a beautiful platform for fireworks. The floral designs were courtesy of Jenevieve Peralta Floral Design and Tulips & Twigs. This unforgettable wedding was brought together by the brilliant wedding planning mastermind, Colin Cowie. He was voted the #1 Best Wedding Planner by Vogue.
Lopez wore custom Ralph Lauren Collection to walk down the aisle. According to Vogue, the wedding gown she wore during the ceremony was the first of the three Ralph Lauren dresses. Over 1,000 handkerchiefs and 500 meters of fabric were cut into ruffles to make an ethereal version of Ralph Lauren’s classic turtleneck column dress. The ruffles were attached by hand, which created a very romantic skirt. The sleeve was inset with a cascading ruffle, draped from the back of the turtleneck to the shoulder. A cathedral-length veil was added as well. She also wore two additional dresses by Ralph Lauren, one featuring cascading strings of pearls and the other with a mermaid silhouette and Swarovski-crystal-embellished keyhole neckline. It’s only fair that Affleck matched his bride. He wore a Ralph Lauren tuxedo which consists of a single-button cream dinner jacket with peak lapels, black bowtie, white pique’ bib shirt, black double-pleated pants, and black patent shoes. The fashion for this wedding was timeless and classic. Just like the commitment of marriage itself.
It’s safe to say that Hollywood’s favorite couple had the wedding of the year!
