Taylor Hill and Daniel Fryer were married last week in a beautiful ceremony set amidst the Rocky Mountains. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, wed in Winter Park, Colorado, Taylor's hometown. For the serene occasion, the former Victoria’s Secret model looked beautiful in a custom Etro gown, the first bridal look the Italian fashion house have created.

Taylor went barefoot for the outdoor ceremony, taking to social media to explain her unorthodox decision. She wrote: "Thank you @etro @marcodevincenzo and @marcocacchione for making the dress of my dreams. You saw my vision and created something more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagined and this dress felt so me, especially since I wanted to get married barefoot because I believe it makes me feel grounded and I wanted to be connected to the earth that I’m from. So thank you for seeing me as clearly as you did.”

Just stunning!!” and Hailey Bieber commented: “So beautiful.”

Speaking to Vogue, Taylor said: “The wedding weekend was so fun and special because we got to do it in my hometown while also adding touches of Danny’s English heritage, which was important to both of us. Planning a wedding is a lot of work – but by the end of the weekend, it was all worth it.”
