AceShowbiz - Eva Amurri, actress, lifestyle blogger, and daughter of Hollywood icons Susan Sarandon and Franco Amurri, celebrated her nuptials with chef Ian Hock in a stunning, intimate ceremony at Windrift Hall on June 29. The couple meticulously planned an event that centered around their family, making their children an integral part of the celebrations.
"We really wanted to center our little family unit in all of it, and make it as much about the kids as it was about us," Eva shared with PEOPLE. The ceremony, inspired by a French garden party, featured a palette of natural colors, chamomile flowers, and shades of pale green and blue, exuding a whimsical and organic ambiance.
With only 40 guests, including Sarandon and her former partner, actor Tim Robbins, the event was an intimate and heartfelt gathering. Personal touches were everywhere, with the couple exchanging handwritten love letters as vows. Eva's son, Major, provided an unforgettable moment by walking her down the aisle.
The ceremony included poignant customs such as a traditional "hand fasting" ritual, performed with ribbons chosen by their children, and a "ring blessing," where guests passed around the wedding rings to imbue them with positive energy before the exchange of vows.
Eva looked breathtaking in a Kim Kassas strapless corset dress with a column shape and an attached billowing skirt, which she purchased at Bridal Reflections in New York City. "I love how it has a vintage feel and is ultra feminine without being overly pouffy," she noted about her wedding dress.
Later in the evening, she switched to a Kim Kassas minidress adorned with feather trim, floral lace, and sparkles, paired with custom Nike Air Force Ones embellished with pearls and their wedding date.
The couple's first dance was to "Lover" by Taylor Swift, a song that has significant meaning in their relationship. The family also took to the dance floor for "Joy" by Andy Grammer, their special family anthem, adding another layer of personal resonance to the occasion.
This beautifully detailed wedding not only highlighted Eva and Ian's love for each other and their family, but also their shared passion for creating memorable experiences. With a thoughtfully designed ceremony and a delicious, intimate party, Eva Amurri and Ian Hock truly found their "Happily Eva After."
