Inside Amanda Hearst’s lavish wedding
Paris Hilton got behind the decks at the lavish wedding of her childhood friend and fellow heiress Amanda Hearst and movie director Joachim Rønning.
Amanda, 35, wore five wedding gowns for the over-the-top celebrations as she said “I do” on Friday at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif., which was built by her great-grandfather, publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst.
The guest list included Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Kathy and Rick Hilton and Amanda’s stepfather and literary icon Jay McInerney, who is married to her mom, Anne Hearst.
“Sex and the City” scribe Candace Bushnell brought her boyfriend, Jim Coleman, while Kick Kennedy and Lydia and Patty Hearst were also there to celebrate.
And sources tell Page Six that other names included Fran Drescher, Maye Musk, Justine and Robert Bloomingdale, Sharon Bush and her daughters Ashley and Lauren Bush Lauren with her husband, David Lauren, alongside Victoria Hearst.
The bride, a philanthropist, was styled by Lupita Nyong’o’s long-time stylist, Hollywood powerhouse Micaela Erlanger, who dressed her in a sustainable Oscar de la Renta gown and vintage Fred Leighton jewelry.
Amanda is the co-founder of sustainable fashion retailer Maison de Mode and co-founder of animal welfare and conservation nonprofit finn2finn Alliance.
The silk faille of the gown, designer Fernando Garcia told Town & Country magazine, came from the Taroni mill, which won the sustainable producer award at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in 2017.
He said: “This fabric and all other elements were items we already had in house so we did not have to incur any fuel usage for transportation. The boning was taken from an existing gown from a previous collection and reused in Amanda’s gown, so it was made to be completely sustainable!”
Hearst then changed into a Galvan white halter dress for dessert and dancing on a fantastical Moroccan-themed terrace inspired by Marrakesh’s Majorelle Gardens and created by event master David Monn overlooking the Castle’s famed Neptune Pool, according to Town & Country.
The bride — dressed in couture Giambattista Valli — and groom made a getaway in a vintage convertible.
They then threw a second bash Saturday night at LA’s legendary Chateau Marmont, where they first met three years ago — as Paris, who was unable to attend the actual wedding, deejayed.
Amanda paid tribute to her new husband — whose Norwegian relatives traveled in for the wedding — as she toasted him in Norwegian.
A Thursday night party, where Amanda wore Victor and Rolf, even featured live reindeer and a Norway-themed buffet and decor in the Hearst Dairy Barn.
On Sunday, Rønning — the director of “Kon-Tiki,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” and the upcoming “Maleficent, Mistress of Evil” — shared a photo of their nuptials to Instagram and captioned it “our cathedral.”
She responded: “I love you so much, sweetie.”
She’s already changed her name to Amanda Rønning on Instagram.
