The classic floor-length dress featured an elegant ruffled neckline, a billowing skirt, and a modest train that gently trailed down the gravel aisle.

After exchanging "I Do's," Dufrene, a Louisiana native and divorced father of three, took Lana's hand as they made their way to the outdoor reception.
The newlyweds strolled past one of Dufrene's famed swamp airboats, which was tied to the dock and decorated with white flowers for their special day.
The wedding and reception were held along the public harbor, featuring numerous tables arranged under large white tents on the grass.
Lana's sister, Caroline Grant, and brother, Charlie Hill-Grant, were also in attendance for the celebration. For the reception, Lana enhanced her ponytail with a light blue satin bow, adding a touch of "something blue."
Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene's relationship timeline
Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene initially connected when she performed at the Buku Music + Art Project in Louisiana in March 2019 and took one of his boat tours. They reconnected in May of that year during her performance at Hangout Fest while both were single.
"He saw his golden opportunity and asked her out and they have been together since. She loves older men," the insider revealed, as per the Daily Mail.
Initially, her friends expressed concern about the relationship, worried he might have ulterior motives as a divorced father of three. However, they quickly realized that he treats her with care and fulfills her needs in a partner.
"Her friends and team did some digging on him over fears he could be using her, but his business is lucrative and he doesn't need or want Lana's money," the source said. "They can see he treats her right and he's very, very low maintenance. He gives her what she is seeking in a man and is romantic."
Recently, on August 25th, they were seen holding hands in England before her performance at the Leeds Festival.
Earlier this month, they attended Karen Elson's wedding together, where the infatuated couple was spotted holding hands at the star-studded event, which also featured Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
