3 wedding dresses, a booked out hotel and a celebrity-spangled guest list mark Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge’s wedding as the lavish event of the year.
It costs at least 1000USD to book a singular room, for one night, at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. Sofia Richie + Elliot Grainge hired out the entirety of the hotel for her French Rivera wedding.

A regular wedding might have one celebrity attendance, if you’re lucky and grew up in the likes of New York or London. It most likely isn’t even a celebrity, just someone you know from high school that has become insta-famous. Sofia Richie’s was attended by Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, amongst others.
There’s certainly no convincing needed in establishing that Richie tying the knot in the French Rivera this past late-April weekend must have cost a fortune. Magazines are calling it the extravagant affair of the year, with hundreds speculating on its every minor detail.
DDW is no less.
The Fashion

Richie relied on Chanel to dress her for her special day, in not just one, but three garments. She said “I-do” in a chic halter top gown, with embellished details and her hair tied up. For the previous day’s rehearsal dinner, it was a more embroidered number, and for her third one we got to see a preppier short one. Each and every single one were custom Chanel numbers, with one of the dresses featuring an embroidered heart to signify the couple’s union. Chanel bridal wear costs around $100,000-250,00, which means Richie’s custom couture could’ve easily been priced somewhere around $800,000.
The Venue
The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is hands-down one of Antibes’ most celebrity spangled hotels. It is precisely the kind of place that screams old-money, often frequented by socialites, celebrities and all kinds of wealthy individuals looking to explore the riviera’s most extravagant stays.
The Agenda
Claiming this was just a regular wedding day would be the understatement of the year. “Wedding weekend” is much more apt. With pre-wedding festivities, rehearsal dinner, and welcome events galore, Richie has kept her fans updated through her TikTok account – which she created solely for the wedding itself – as she draped herself in Chanel outfits and makeup.
