Did anyone expect Jennifer Lopez to settle for just a wedding dress?
The stylish superstar married Ben Affleck (again) in an epic all-white wedding ceremony at her Georgia home on August 20, wearing three Ralph Lauren dresses in one night.
The first, which Lopez wore to walk down the aisle, was a twist on the designer’s classic plunging neckline gown.
More than 1,000 handkerchiefs and 500 meters of fabric were cut into ruffles and hand-stitched to create the voluminous and romantic skirt, according to Ralph Lauren’s press release, and the look was paired with a veil length of cathedral for an extra dose of drama.
The bride also sparkled in nearly $100,000 worth of Mikimoto jewelry, pairing delicate white pearl and diamond earrings with a matching floral ring.

For the reception, Lopez, 53, changed into a chandelier-inspired gown adorned with thousands of cascading strands of pearls. Thirty artisans spent 700 hours hand-embroidering the piece with silk tulle micropleats, tiny pearl embellishments and Swarovski crystals.

Last but not least, the singer and actress switched it up in an elegant mermaid-style gown with a keyhole embellished with Swarovski crystals and a full skirt topped with a cape-like organza hood

Affleck, meanwhile, said “I do” in a Ralph Lauren tuxedo with a cream single-button dinner jacket with double-pleated black trousers and a bib shirt, along with a black tie and black patent leather shoes, while the bride and groom’s five children matched white Ralph Lauren looks.
Lopez previously married the “Last Duel” actor, 50, in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas in July, for which she wore two other dresses: a Zuhair Murad lace design “by an old movie.” and a sleeveless Alexander McQueen number that she said she had been saving “for so many years,” bringing her wedding dress total to five.
The groom wore a white Ralph Lauren Couture tuxedo jacket, black pants, and a black tie (the suit is strikingly similar, if not exactly the same as the one he wore to the Little White Chapel when the couple were officially married) , while her three children and J.Lo’s twins all matched white Ralph Lauren Couture looks.
Violet Affleck, 16, chose a stunning prom dress, while siblings Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, chose a dress and tuxedo, respectively, similar to those worn by Max Lopez’s twins and Emme Muñiz, 14 years old.
All of Bennifer’s A-list guests wore white, in keeping with the theme of Saturday’s party, which was just the second event of the weekend, following a welcome party on Friday and before a Sunday barbecue.
