In the idyllic setting of Cedar Lakes Estate in the Berkshires, a beautiful chapter was written in the love story of Beanie Feldstein and Bonnie-Chance Roberts. This stunning locale, which has always filled the couple with immense joy, was chosen to host their fairytale wedding on the weekend of May 19, 2023 pictured in Vogue.
Their journey together started back in January 2018, at the Dean Street Townhouse in London. The connection was immediate and palpable, with Bonnie stating to the outlet: "From the moment we first kissed, we knew we would get married." Over time, their bond strengthened while working on the movie adaptation of 'How to Build a Girl', a beautiful backdrop to a blossoming love.

The proposal was nothing short of magical. Amid a pandemic, after months apart, Bonnie created a breathtaking moment. Beanie’s childhood home was transformed into a sparkling wonderland, adorned with hundreds of mason jars and fairy lights.

Her favourite A.A. Milne quote about love and friendship added a heartwarming detail to the ensemble. Beanie, on the other hand, chose a floral applique dress and Christian Louboutin platforms. Her hair was styled with a custom headband, and she wore her mother's diamond studs, a sentimental accessory to the ensemble.
When it came to the wedding day, the couple had something even more extraordinary planned. Gucci, the renowned luxury brand, was their designer of choice.
