Emma Roberts gives fans a closer look at her wedding day
The newly shared pictures come from Roberts and John’s July 25 wedding at his family’s estate in Sun Valley, Idaho. While some photographs from the ceremony had already emerged around the time of the wedding, these latest images give fans a glimpse through Roberts’ own lens.One of the most romantic moments shows the couple sharing a kiss, while another captures them during their vows. Other photographs show Roberts and John walking hand-in-hand after the ceremony, adding to the relaxed and intimate mood of the carousel.Roberts looked every bit the vintage-inspired bride she had imagined, wearing a custom Monique Lhuillier gown crafted in a distinctive antique-inspired shade. The chiffon design featured delicate detailing, a matching headband and a high slit, while John opted for a classic black tuxedo.The wedding also had a particularly meaningful family moment. Roberts’ five-year-old son, Rhodes, walked his mother down the aisle, making his presence an important part of the ceremony. Julia Roberts was also among the guests at the celebration.
A wedding inspired by Emma Roberts’ love for vintage style
The photographs also bring attention to the aesthetic Roberts had carefully planned for the occasion. In an earlier interview with Vogue, the actor explained that she wanted her wedding look to have a vintage quality while still feeling modern.Speaking about the gown, Roberts told Vogue, “I wanted it to feel very vintage-inspired. I’m obsessed with antique books and treasure hunting, and I love collecting old ephemera.”She also revealed how strongly she wanted the dress to reflect her personal taste rather than follow a conventional bridal style. Roberts described her vision as wanting to look like “a ghost, a little like an antique ghost doll.” The unusual inspiration eventually became one of the most talked-about elements of her wedding look.Her wedding plans extended beyond the dress. Roberts and John chose Sun Valley because of their connection to the location, with the celebration taking place at John’s family home. For the invitations, the couple drew inspiration from vintage 1960s Sun Valley postcards, adding a playful personal touch to the wedding stationery.
From a blind date to husband and wife
Roberts and John’s wedding marked another chapter in a relationship that began after they were introduced by a mutual friend. According to Vogue, the pair first went on a date in May 2022, and what was planned as a short meeting eventually turned into hours of conversation and dinner.The couple made their relationship public later that year and announced their engagement in July 2024. Two years after that engagement, they returned to Sun Valley to celebrate their marriage.For Roberts, the wedding was clearly about creating something personal rather than simply putting together a traditional celebrity ceremony. From the vintage-inspired dress and customised invitations to having her son walk her down the aisle, several details reflected the actor’s personality and family life.
