If you’re looking for love in the big city, then New York City is the place to be. The most popular street in the world is now officially the most romantic street in the United States. On November 10, 2017, actor Robert Pattinson will marry fashion designer and entrepreneur Léa Agron. The two have been dating for almost two years and seemed perfectly matched since their first encounter in October 2015. After a long engagement, the couple decided to walk down the aisle on April 24, 2017. The wedding ceremony will be officiated by none other than former Beatle Ringo Starr. He will marry the two privately in an intimate ceremony at the couple’s wedding venue, the Siena Hotel in New York City.
Here’s what you need to know about the wedding of the year.
Wedding Rings
One of the most important aspects of the wedding is the rings the couple exchange. As the bride to be, Léa will walk down the aisle in a stunning wedding dress designed by the iconic Christian Dior. She will be joined by her groom and best man, Miles. The groom is set to sport a custom designed Arpels Jewellery diamond band. The designer has crafted a unique ring in the shape of a panther that will be a symbol of their union.
Other notables that will walk the bride down the aisle are Anna Wintour, Vogue’s Fashion Director; Jimmy Choo, Chairman of the Jimmy Choo Group; and Carine Roitfeld, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue. Other celebrities who will attend the wedding include Giorgio Armani, David Copperfield, and Isabeli Adkins.
Venue
The Siena Hotel in New York City has been the location of many important moments in the couple’s lives. From Pattinson’s audition for Twelfth Night to the release of their first film together, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the hotel has played host to many memorable events. The building is a masterpiece by the architect Rafael Vinoly. It features a spectacular indoor pool, ten restaurants, and a spa. The Siena has been a regular host to the United Nations. The hotel has also provided the backdrop for some of the most iconic images of Diana, Princess of Wales.
The ceremony will be held in the Grand Ballroom, which is set to be adorned with hundreds of white orchids. Arpels, the luxury goods company that owns the hotel, is renowned for their discretion in these matters. This is also the hotel where Lady Diana stayed before her tragic death in a car accident in Paris in 1997. A private room has been set aside for the wedding night. Although the hotel has 5 stars, the couple will have full access to the staff’s luxury services. They can request a massage, manic as well as spa treatments. There is also a concierge service that will look after any last-minute needs and assist with taxi service.
Catering
The wedding cake will be a 9-tier cake that will be served in the shape of a heart. The menu will feature items such as caviar blinis, beef, and hors d’oeuvres. There will also be an elaborate wedding buffet, which will be served in the hotel’s Garden Room. Topping the wedding cake will be a real silver heart supported by a crystal crown.
According to one of the wedding planners, the couple did not want something traditional. They wanted something different and personal that reflected their tastes and styles. Agron’s grandfather is the well-known French designer Christian Dior, who was the first to introduce the now-legendary large-scale hat. The inspiration for this amazing creation came from Christian Dior’s own wedding dress. The couple were very happy to help shape their special day to reflect their personal styles and tastes. The dress is made mostly from silk charmeuse and has a veil that will be attached to the headpiece. The designer has also added a touch of fantasy by adding a unicorn headpiece for the bride. She will sport a Christian Dior diamond and platinum band. The designer has also created a matching wedding ring for the couple.
Apart from Christian Dior, the bride will sport other jewelry and accessories designed by notable luxury brands. The dress is by the Italian designer Valentino. The bride will be accompanied by her bridesmaids, who will be wearing traditional Valentino dresses as well. On the night of the wedding, the couple will exchange their vows in front of guests in the Grand Ballroom. As well as the Valentino wedding dress, Léa will also wear a custom-made diamond and platinum band designed by the prestigious Piaget Brand. She will also sport a tiara made by the Italian designer.
The couple are expected to close the wedding ceremony with an intimate dinner for their loved ones and guests at the Siena Hotel. They then transfer to a nearby venue for the wedding shower and celebration party.
