When it came time to decide what to do with her hair to match her four — yes, four — bridal dresses, Hyland, 31, wanted to keep it fairly simple but yet still glamorous enough for a princess.

“We created plenty of texture and tendrils around the hairline and nape of the neck,” hairstylist Ryan Richman toldVogue. “The goal was a look that was appropriate for a princess on her wedding day, but ‘make it as if the princess had just finished riding her horse through the countryside—not too perfect.'”

“Charm personified. So happy to share in your happiness! Much love. XXV,” Wangcaptioned a beautiful bridal shot of Hylandon Instagram.

She then changed into a strapless lace Vera Wang Haute Couture gown featuring a draped neckline and hand-detachable tulle sleeves.

Hyland toldVoguethat when she started planning her wedding in 2019, she knew she wanted a Vera Wang gown. “We had already decided on our venue before I started the process of styling with Brad [Goreski] and Daniela [Viviana-Romero], so it really was about creating a piece that fit the aesthetic of the property,” she said. “Our venue has the color palette of a chateau in the countryside of France with the architectural design of an Italian castle.”

She tried on a Vera Wang gown that she fell in love with, and after a few adjustments, she decided on it for her big day. However, after having to postpone her nuptials for so long, she worried that the dress wouldn’t still be the one when the time came.

Fortunately, when she put the dress on in the lead-up to her August wedding, she still loved it as much as she did three years ago. She also fell in love with other dresses, which is why she decided to just wear them all.

She told PEOPLE in July that while her vision for her wedding hadn’t changed since she started planning in 2019, herfashion choices had. “I’m going with more dresses than I originally planned,” she said, while keeping her dress plans under lock and key.
