Marriage is quite the ride for Lindsay Ellingson!
The Victoria’s Secret Angel, 29, graces the cover of the 80th anniversary issue of Brides magazine, and she’s working some untraditional yet adorable whites for the occasion! Case in point: On one of two covers the model shot, she’s wearing an open-back Angel Sanchez minidress. Inside, the model rocked a studded Monique Lhuillier Red to Wed jumpsuit, complete with lace-up booties and a long veil, all while kicking her heels up over a bicycle.
As a bonus, the newlywed shared sweet shots of her own wedding dress from her nuptials to longtime love Sean Clayton in a small ceremony in South Carolina this past July. For her special day, the bride chose an elegant V-neck Sophie Theallet sheath that crisscrossed in the back and tied in a bow, a design she let steal the spotlight by sweeping her long blonde waves up into a chic chignon.
Revealing when she and Clayton first met—at an album launch for JayZ and Kanye West in 2011—Ellingson told Brides, “I turned around and saw tall, dark, and handsome.” When she ran into him again the next day in New York City’s Union Square, “I knew it was fate.” The blushing bride added, “Sean is everything I ever looked for. I never thought I’d be so lucky.”
And their wedding day was even sweeter. Ellingson gushed, “Sean and I locked eyes as I walked down the aisle. It felt like we were the only ones there.”
