There was no question whether the eventual wedding of Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion would be effortlessly chic, but the couple managed to outdo our wildest expectations.
The nuptials were a three-day affair in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, spanning welcome barbecues to rehearsal dinners, all of which called for perfect bridal looks. In Abby’s case, that included a dreamy Zimmerman dress and country-coded lace look from Bec + Bridge.
The former, a dress the American model describes to Vogue as “something out of a dream” was feminine, ethereal and a little flirty (thanks to an asymmetric hem), just what you need for an intimate farm-to-table rehearsal dinner.
Our favourite look of the wedding, however, had to be that of the couple’s Western-themed welcome barbecue at nearby Gozzer Ranch.
The bride paired a long-sleeved lace Bec + Bridge dress with black cowboy boots and hat, proving the country aesthetic is still well and truly on trend.
The panelled stretch lace and dramatic open back detail, made for a dress that stunningly straddles western and bridal aesthetics.
“Western night was a whole different vibe, and honestly, one of the most fun looks of the weekend,” says Abby said of the outfit.

As for their nuptials, Abby turned to the celebrity set’s favourite bridal wear designer, Danielle Frankel who created a custom silk wool column gown with show-stopping deep V back detail.
Following their engagement in December of 2023, the couple initially postponed their nuptials when Patrick learned he landed the role of Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore show, he revealed: “Finally, a year and a half ago we got engaged. And it was our moment, it was this great thing.”
“And a few days later, I booked White Lotus, and I was like, ‘Abby, I know we’re in this high of engagement, and we’re gonna get married this year. But we’re going to have to push it. I got White Lotus, and I’m going to film for the next seven months in Thailand.’”
It certainly was worth the wait.
