The 27-year-old Victoria’s Secret beauty wed New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard in December. She and her groom tied the knot just four months after their dreamy engagement in Beverly Hills.
The exclusive coverage of the celebrity wedding by Brides.com confirms that it was a star-studded event with guests Chrissy Teigen, Gabrielle Union and Odell Beckham Jr.
According to the report, it was over-the-top with “flowers upon flowers” and the whole thing came together in just under three months.
As for Chanel Iman’s bridal gown, the final dress decision came down to Zuhair Murad, a Lebanese fashion designer that she has reportedly worn on the red carpet several times.
The groom went for a traditional tux, but Chanel Iman had a different idea for the reception. “We threw the rulebook out for the reception,” she said to Brides, “and shook things up a little with a fun jacket and shoe change for Sterling before he hit the dance floor!”
She shared wedding pics on social media with the caption: “Dreams do come @sterl_shep3 @brides @amyandstuart @mindyweiss,” she wrote, captioning other posts, “So in love with you @sterl_shep3” and “The Shepard’s.”
Congrats to the happy couple on their first baby.
