For the festivities, Hudgens changed into a second Vera Wang ensemble which was a strapless gown that was made of both lace and silk fabric.
While reflecting on the day, the star gave one piece of advice which is: ‘don’t do first looks, because seeing each other at the altar for the first time is the most emotional moment of my life.’
‘I literally keeled over when I saw Cole and had to take a big breath and had to force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor.’
The actress then gushed, ‘It was genuinely the most magical weekend of my life.’
‘I am so grateful that we got to have a private wedding, and it helped that I took everyone’s phones away.’
