The enchanting ceremony took place on Palvin’s parents‘ property in her homeland of Hungary. A picturesque chapel nestled near Budapest provided the perfect backdrop for the lovebirds to exchange their heartfelt vows. But the couple wasn’t alone on this momentous day; they were surrounded by 115 of their closest friends and family. Hey, it was supposed to be an intimate gathering, but who can resist inviting everyone you care about to celebrate such a special occasion?
The bride looked absolutely stunning in her custom wedding gown from none other than Vivienne Westwood. Classic and timeless, she radiated elegance as she walked down the aisle to her soon-to-be husband. But Barbara wasn’t done there. She also sported a ‘90s-inspired choker, courtesy of Tiffany & Co., because, you know, every modern princess needs some sparkling accessories!
Sprouse, on the other hand, kept things traditional with a dashing black tuxedo. And you know what they say: “When in doubt, shave it out!” The Suite Life of Zack & Cody star made sure he was looking his absolute best for the love of his life. The couple’s chemistry was palpable, and the way they gazed at each other would make even the most seasoned rom-com protagonists teary-eyed.
The wedding ceremony was a mix of Hungarian tradition and heartfelt emotion. They exchanged vows in the same church where Palvin’s parents got hitched 34 years ago. Talk about a romantic connection! Not a dry eye was in sight, and let’s be honest, we can’t blame them. We all teared up a little just reading about it!
After saying “I do” at the church, the lovebirds moved on to a picturesque small island within a reserve on the bride’s parents’ property for the civil ceremony.
The island wedding oozed style and grace, with the bridesmaids dressed in cool pastels, showing off their individual flair within the wedding theme. Palvin’s sister, Anita, played a vital role in planning the wedding, and she didn’t miss a beat. From the venue to the flowers and everything in between, it was a feast for the eyes.
And can we talk about the bride’s reception dress? Short, fun, and flirty, she was ready to dance the night away with her new hubby. Sprouse couldn’t help but stare in awe as his bride twirled around the dance floor, and we can’t blame him. The night was filled with laughter, love, and plenty of dancing, making it a wedding to remember.
But that’s not all! Palvin also embraced Hungarian tradition by donning a stunning red dress after midnight—a ‘menyecske ruha.’ Designed by a Hungarian fashion house, the dress perfectly captured Palvin’s essence—sexy, sweet, and comfortable, just what she wanted for this special moment.
As the night drew to a close, the happy couple bid farewell to their guests, showered in love and well-wishes. Now, they’re looking forward to a bigger celebration in sunny California come fall, where they’ll party it up with more of their friends and family.
Now that we’ve gone over their gorgeous wedding, let’s take a look at the couple’s relationship timeline in honour of their nuptials..
