The bride said “I Do” in an exquisite Elie Saab haute
couture gown purchased in Paris. Calgary-based
fashion retailer Courtney Kos of ette has an existing
relationship with the acclaimed fashion house and
assisted with the process.

The soft peach-coloured ball gown featured sheer
detailing on the arms and was embellished with
sequins, beads, and floral appliqués. Chanel and Chris
travelled to France to pick up the dream dress and
enjoyed a pre-wedding honeymoon in The City of
Lights. “It was one of my best memories from the year
because it gave us a chance to remove ourselves from
the stress, enjoy each other’s company and be
reminded of why we were doing all of this in the first
place,” recalls Chanel of the trip to Paris.
During the ceremony, Chanel wore an ornate
headpiece that echoed the embellishments on her
gown and a chapel-length veil. Her lace pumps and
clutch were also custom-designed by Elie Saab to
complement the couture gown. The clutch was
inscribed with the couple’s names and wedding date.
