Model Ieva and basketball player Lukas rushed into a spontaneous wedding in Las Vegas, wearing a vintage ivory linen corset and a matte silk crepe micro-skirt, according to Vogue Italia.
Driven by a mutual love for Old Hollywood and cinema, and a desire to turn their wedding into a movie scene, the couple wed after an engagement that lasted just three days.
The origins of the wedding trace back to about two months before the ceremony, when Ieva was shooting a bridal campaign for Alice Pons Milano. Having worn wedding dresses many times in her modeling career, Ieva experienced something different while trying on one of the brand’s linen dresses during a fitting in the atelier, realizing for the first time that she truly saw herself as a bride.
Following the shooting, Ieva shared her idea with Alice about secretly getting married during an upcoming trip to California, packing the custom corset and skirts without knowing if the plan would happen.
During a trip to a magical beach near San Diego, Lukas knelt down to propose. The engagement was remarkably brief, lasting only three days. With assistance from their friend Ceci, an organization expert, the couple organized the spontaneous celebration with four close friends who flew to Las Vegas at the last minute.
For the ceremony, Ieva wore a custom ivory linen corset designed by Alice Pons Milano, featuring lowered straps, side slits, and a timeless elegance. Describing the outfit, Ieva said, “Per il mio look abbiamo immaginato un corsetto ispirato alla metà del Seicento. Per la cerimonia lo abbiamo abbinato a una micro gonna in crepe di seta, opaca e color avorio, con ruche morbide e una vestibilità attillata anni Novanta”.
The ceremony took place at the Sure Thing Chapel, a quirky vintage chapel resembling a small shop, featuring a female Elvis impersonator as the officiant. Following the ceremony, the celebrations continued with dinner at Nobu and a Cirque du Soleil show.
