Sofia Richie and her fiancé, Elliot Grainge, are set to walk down the aisle on Saturday.

The couple and their loved ones are gathered at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, a city in the South of France. Festivities are expected to take place a little more than one year since they announced their engagement on Instagram in April 2022.

Sofia and Elliot became Instagram official in April 2021.

The 24-year-old Nude Stix beauty director is the daughter of singer Lionel Richie and Diane Alexander. She is also the younger sister of Nicole Richie, a socialite and TV personality. Elliot is a record executive who founded 10K Projects, an independent record label.

"Already crying," the friend wrote in the Instagram stories post.

Vogue shared photos of Sofia's wedding gown and 2 other Chanel dresses she wore on her big day

According to Vogue, Sofia visited the Chanel haute couture salons in Paris a few weeks before the ceremony for her final dress fitting. The outlet reported that she wore a total of three dresses during the weekend, with one dress for the rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony, and the after party.

"I always had this vision of the big princess dress, and going big, but as I got older, I realized that I wanted something a bit more simple," Sofia told Vogue. "Maybe 'simple' isn't the right word because my dress definitely is not simple!"

Sofia wore an elegant beaded gown to the rehearsal dinner and a white structured dress inspired by an ensemble Claudia Schiffer modeled during the Chanel Fall/Winter 1993-1994 to her after party. Vogue described her wedding gown as "a unique bridal silhouette with a criss-cross neckline inspired by a look from Chanel's fall 2023 collection."

The couple's initials and the wedding date are sewn into the gown for her "something blue."

"I am so excited. [It's] because I'm marrying Elliot, I know that sounds cheesy—but he is the man of my dreams," Sofia added.
