Gwen Stefani used love birds to represent Blake Shelton and her children in her wedding looks
Gwen Stefani's two wedding dresses were both designed by Vera Wang, with the gown she wore for the ceremony being hand embroidered with her and her boys' names. Along the bottom of the dress were the words Blake, Gwen, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo (via People). The No Doubt singer shares her three sons with her former husband, Bush singer Gavin Rossdale.
The star also had a sweet nod to her immediate family on her shorter party dress. Wang ensured Blake Shelton and Stefani's love was symbolized through two hand sewn love birds around her waist and the skirt, which were made of "hand pieced silk, crystal and sequin embroidered foliage." As for how the "Used to Love You" singer incorporated her children into the second dress? Well, it also featured three baby love birds that were added on to represent Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. Cute!
Wang was sure to share her congratulations on social media as she shared two photos of the happy couple to Instagram. "Fairytale love..... soooo happy for you both! XXV. And yes, the bride wore white," she captioned the upload.
It seems fans were loving Stefani's wedding ensembles too, as many took to Twitter to share their thoughts on her two all-white looks. There's no doubting Gwen looks happier than ever right now!
