A-list couple Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello exchanged their vows at a lavish wedding held at The Breakers in Palm Springs, Florida. On Sunday, the couple gathered their families and all people they hold dear to witness their marriage.
According to a report from The New York Daily News, the couple held a pre-wedding party on Saturday night. Vergara and Manganiello did a rehearsal dinner at the Brazilian Court Hotel which was then followed by an after party at The Breaker's resort.
The bride wore a stunning Zuhair Murad wedding dress. The sweetheart strapless sheath dress had silk tulle. It was hand-embroidered and was nipped at the waist with a pearl-beaded belt. Vergara's dress also had a detachable skirt to add full drama to the gown.
According to a report from Entertainment Tonight Online, it took 32 people and 1,657 hours to be able to make Vergara's wedding dress.
"Your wedding is not the time to try new things -- you're going to have these pictures forever. My body looks better when I have fitted dresses with more support. I'm 43, so I can't really be looking for something too crazy. I have to go with what looks good on me," said Vergara when asked about the design of her gown prior to her wedding.
Entertainment Online reported that there were around 400 people who celebrated with the couple during their special day. The couple arranged the reception at the Venetian Ballroom adorned by crystal chandeliers and fuchsia flowers.
Their first dance was to "The Way You Look Tonight" covered by Frank Sinatra in 1964. Pitbull also performed at the party as a surprise guest. Music from Michael Jackson and Shakira were heard during the reception.
Famous celebrities like Channing Tatum, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Hyland, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jena Dewan, Julie Bowen, Ann Paquin and many more attended the wedding.
Vergara and Manganiello also insisted that they didn't want any gifts from their guests. Instead the couple asked their friends and family to donate to charities that they have chosen, including St. Jude's Hospital where Vergara is a celebrity ambassador.
"I want a wedding where the guests are going to have fun," said Vergara in an interview.
And with the looks of the fresh photos posted by Vergara herself using her Instagram account, the guests surely enjoyed the wedding festivities.
