“What started as a fairytale, is now my forever reality. I’ll never be able to properly describe how otherworldly this past weekend was, but magical is a pretty good place to start,” she wrote on her final image that showcases the complete look.
Allen's hair, which was styled by Gregory Russell, was swept into a sleek intricate bun that offered a modern take on the traditional wedding 'do. Makeup was natural and glowy.
Jewellery, by way of delicate earrings, was by Irene Neuwirth Jewelry.
