Richie and Grainge held a two-day extravaganza for their nuptials, with a number of outfit changes for the celebrity offspring-turned-fashionista.

The bride wore three different dresses over three major events for her wedding weekend; the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony and the after-party.

As seen in Vogue, Richie walked down the aisle in a custom-designed halter-necked Chanel gown and her hair swept back into a bun.

"We created the top of that dress and made it bridal-y," Richie told Vogue ahead of the wedding.

 "It is such magic. I honestly think Elliot is going to love it. He is my biggest cheerleader when it comes to anything I wear."
