Sophie Turner's wedding gown designing took 1,050 hours!
What's the story
When GoT star Sophie Turner tied the knot to singer Joe Jonas for the second time in France on June 29, everyone saw how ethereal she looked. Right from her wedding gown, to Joe's 'whoopie' moment, everything about their wedding dripped in love. But did you know, it took a stunning 1,050 hours to get her wedding dress right?
Decision
For her French chateau wedding, Sophie opted for Louis Vuitton
Sophie, for this French chateau wedding, opted for her favorite Louis Vuitton to design the gown. The silk Gazar gown had an optical white leather satin belt, and the flower-embroidered tulle was of 14mts. News has it that it took some 75 hours of digital design comprising 65,000 stitches to create the floral pattern of the tulle. Over 10 embroiderers worked for the gown.

Dress
The veil needed 48 hours of embroidery, thread was hand-cut
It took them 350 hours to assemble the dress, each panel of which was designed with 50,400 crystal eclats and 50,400 white beads. The details of the veil needed 48 hours of embroidery, and the thread was hand-cut between each flower. The hem had an irregular finish, which was interestingly, hand-cut. Meanwhile, the elated husband-to-be (?) Joe wore an all-black Berluti tuxedo.
Designing
Priyanka's gown had 11,632 Swarovski crystals, 5,600 pearl seed beads
It seems the Jonas sisters have a penchant for having a very detailed wedding gown. When Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas last December, the gown she wore had 11,632 Swarovski crystals. The custom-made Ralph Lauren gown was made with 135 satin-covered buttons, 700 spools of ivory thread, 5,600 pearl seed beads, and 24,12,000 high-luster sequins. Notably, 15 artisans slogged for 1,826 hours for it.
Lucky!
This was their second wedding, first happened in May
Anyway, so this was Sophie-Joe's second wedding that took place at Chateau du Martinay in Carpentras in Southern France. Earlier on May 1, they had exchanged the vows in a A Little White Wedding chapel, Las Vegas, immediately after the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. For that wedding, Sophie wore a chic white jumpsuit, but the traditional look this time has clearly floored everyone.
Within just a day, Sophie's photo has garnered 60L likes
Yesterday, Sophie took to Instagram to share a black and white photo of her France wedding, which showed the couple holding hands, and Joe, with clenched fists, flaunting a 'whoopie'. This snap of theirs was clicked by noted wedding photographer Corbin Gurkin. Within just a day, the photo managed to gather over 60 lakh likes, which of course is not surprising.
