In 2015, Abby Champion and Patrick Schwarzenegger met while she was on a casual drinks date with their mutual friend in Los Angeles. He invited some of his guy friends to join them at the Los Angeles bar afterwards—including Patrick. Sparks flew between the two immediately. “He got my number, asked me out, and the rest is history,” Abby says.

Eight years later, Patrick proposed to Abby while on an early morning beach walk in Santa Monica. At first, she didn’t think anything of it: she and Patrick regularly took such sandy strolls with their coffee. Yet in the distance, she spied a heart made of roses in the sand. “It was intimate, relaxed, and everything I had ever imagined,” she says of their proposal.

The White Lotus actor and model held a three-day, early September wedding in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Ashley Graham Events acted as their wedding planner—with significant direction from Patrick himself. (“Funny enough, it’s more Patrick’s personality to dive into the flowers and little details, so he helped with so much, which I absolutely loved,” says Abby.)

On Thursday, September 4, they held an intimate farm-to-table rehearsal dinner with their families and the wedding party, for which Abby wore a Zimmerman gown that she described as “something out of a dream.” Patrick, meanwhile, chose a powder blue suit by Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford. Then on Friday, guests gathered at a Western-themed welcome barbecue at nearby Gozzer Ranch. The bride wore a long-sleeved lace Bec + Bridge dress, black cowboy boots, and a black hat. “Western night was a whole different vibe, and honestly, one of the most fun looks of the weekend,” says Abby.

On Saturday, September 6, Abby walked down the aisle wearing a custom silk wool column gown with a high neck and dramatic deep V back by Danielle Frankel. In lieu of a traditional train, the bride opted for a silk overskirt with a hand-painted lining. She paired it all with soft tulle opera-length gloves and a fingertip-length veil. “For me, the dress and who designed it were incredibly important,” the bride says. “Since fitting and fashion are part of my profession, I knew I wanted to work with someone I felt completely comfortable with, someone I could openly share my thoughts and opinions with. From the moment I met Danielle, I knew she was the one.” She accessorized with diamond stud earrings and a pearl ring from Mackenna Thaler jewelry, while Abby Moorer did her hair and makeup.
