‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pros Emma Slater, Sasha Farber Get Married In LA
Another stunning celebrity wedding is in the books. Dancing with the Stars costars Sasha Farber and Emma Slater are officially partners for life.
Time Stood Still
The two tied the knot at Bella Blanca in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 25. Wedding planner to the stars Michael Russo gushed about the perfect, sun-kissed ceremony.
"As Emma walked down the aisle, instantly locking eyes with Sasha, it was as if time stood still," he said.
Russo described how personal everything was to the couple, from their sob-inducing vows to the ceremony itself.
"Their moving vows had moments of both humor and heartfelt emotion, which made the ceremony a truly special and magical thing to behold. I couldn't be more proud to have been a witness to this celebration of pure, unconditional love," he said.
Slater, 29, wore two beautiful gowns on the day, both by Rivini. The first was a fitted, sheer dress with lace appliqués while the second was a more interesting, less traditional creation with a long, flowing skirt more suited to dancing the night away. Farber, meanwhile, wore a handmade tux by Onik Design, who crafted several of his ensembles for the show.
Bridesmaids wore gowns from Amsale Bridesmaids, while their hair was done by Dean Banowitz, head stylist at Volaire Brand Ambassador.
Roses were a theme, from the couple's stunning wedding invitation to the bouquet Slater carried down the aisle, which was a bouquet of beautiful fresh pink. They posed for photos at Houdini Estate, a property they walk past most days while taking their dog, Ruby, out.
A Star-Studded Event
Guests included Julianne Hough and husband, Brooks Laich, Nick and Vanessa Lachey, and Cheryl Burke.
The menu included smoked salmon, red caviar, seared ahi tuna, and ribeye steak. There were also five wedding cake flavors, including Valrhona chocolate, vanilla bean, and almond.
The blissfully-in-love Slater and Farber chose Ed Sheeran's hit song "Perfect" for their first dance as a married couple. Although the British singer couldn't make it to play the song live, Sheeran recorded a sweet message of congratulations for the bride.
Gifts were plentiful, with guests receiving scented candles and tequila favors, while the wedding party received clutch bags for the bridesmaids and wallets for the groomsmen.
The Dancing with the Stars alumni got engaged live on the show back in October 2016. Farber popped the big question immediately after the couple performed a contemporary dance number together. The two celebrated their happy news with cast members and producers after the show.
"It feels amazing that we got to share that with all our friends. I totally forgot that it was also live on TV. It's brilliant to get engaged and then be able to turn around and have your friends there with you watching it happen!" said Slater at the time.
The couple planned their big day while on the Dancing with the Stars: Live — Light Up The Night tour, with Slater gushing that her hubby-to-be was very involved in the process the whole time.
The two joked around that Farber was the bad cop, as he wanted everyone to have a seafood tower on the day. Thankfully, that didn't turn out to be the case.
