Billionaire oil heiress Ivy Getty tied the knot in a lavish wedding in San Francisco this weekend, where she was surrounded by glitterati and dressed to the nines in a custom John Galliano gown.
The 26-year-old said ‘I do’ to photographer Tobias ‘Toby’ Engel at San Francisco’s City Hall on November 7, but this was no quickie justice of the peace affair: The newlyweds held their nuptials in the rotunda of the historic Beaux-Arts building and partied the night away.
Ivy looked absolutely glamorous in the custom-made gown she wore. It was covered with glittering mirror fragments, and finished with a veil embellished with guitars for her father and walnuts to honor her grandmother.
She was less bridal, though, during a theme party that also took place this weekend, in which she and her friends — including actress Anya Taylor-Joy — dressed up in ’60s-themed costumes complete with period hair and makeup.

‘My grandmother always wore John Galliano’s designs,’ Ivy told Vogue. His designs were a favorite of my grandmother, and it made me feel like she was right there alongside me.
Her grandmother likely would have worn Galliano’s designs for Givenchy, which he helmed from 1995 to 1996, and Christian Dior, which he became creative director of in October 1996. He was ousted from Dior in 2011 after video surfaced of him going on a drunken antisemitic tirade in Paris, saying ‘I love Hitler.’
Getty stated that Galliano’s design appeal was a key factor in her decision.
‘After my grandmother’s passing — she was really more like a mother to me — I felt this connection to John. His creation of the wedding dress was what I had in mind. He was introduced to me by a close friend through my aunt Vanessa.
Louboutin shoes were added to her big day. Toby’s grandfather had gifted the ring to her. The custom-made ring was made to contain Ivys grandmothers diamonds.

“The whole process was very personal and allowed us to be closer. It was all about the feelings [that came along with]My wedding dress was an amazing experience.
