If there is anyone capable of turning a destination wedding into an absolute haute-couture fairytale, it’s global fashion icon Leonie Hanne.

Following a chic, intimate London civil ceremony at The Dorchester, the fashion creator and her longtime partner, Alexander Galievsky, whisked their inner circle away to the sunny, glamour-soaked shores of the French Riviera for a breathtaking multi-day celebration. And trust us, every single detail was straight out of a luxury bridal mood board

The Venue: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Nestled in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the legendary Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild served as the breathtaking backdrop for the couple’s main vows. Surrounded by panoramic sea views, lush manicured gardens, and classic pink pastel architecture, the setting felt effortlessly romantic.

The aisle was transformed into a botanical dreamscape, lined with sweeping clouds of soft white florals and framed by the villa’s grand fountains.

 

A Dolce & Gabbana Bridal Moment

When it comes to bridal fashion, one gown is simply never enough for a style powerhouse like Leonie. The bride wore a total of four custom Dolce & Gabbana creations across the weekend’s festivities.

  • The Ceremony Look: A custom Dolce & Gabbana lace halter-neck gown featuring intricate embroidery and a dramatic cathedral-length veil, accessorized with sparkling Chopard jewelry.

  • The Groom: Alexander looked impeccably timeless in a sharp white tuxedo jacket, capturing quintessential Riviera glamour.

Star-Studded Magic on the Riviera

From star guests like Emily in Paris favorite Ashley Park to endless champagne under the Mediterranean sunset, Leonie and Alexander’s wedding perfectly balanced high-fashion fantasy with genuine, personal warmth.

It was cinematic, deeply personal, and a masterclass in modern destination bridal style. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
