Acquired Style influencer Brigette Pheloung recently shared a look at her lavish wedding celebration, including her elaborate gown, with her nearly three million Instagram followers. Pheloung, who legally married her longtime partner Mitch McHale in June, posted images from a larger ceremony that took place on Saturday, August 8.
The New York City-based content creator showcased moments from the ceremony, including the couple exchanging vows and posing for photos against a clifftop backdrop. The ceremony site was decorated with white and pale yellow flowers, with the couple standing beneath a floral archway.
Pheloung's wedding dress, an off-the-shoulder ballgown, appeared to be a design by Vera Wang. The gown featured gazaar florals around the waistband and rosettes along the hem of the train. She complemented the dress with her hair in loose curls, a veil, and diamond jewelry. Pheloung posted the images with the caption, "Husband & Wife. 08/08/26." She later dedicated a separate video to the dress, calling it "the dress of my dreams."
Her twin sister, Danielle, also shared photos from the event, wearing a strapless black gown and her hair styled up. Many of Pheloung's followers expressed admiration for the bride's dress in the comments section.
Earlier in June, Pheloung and McHale had their official, more intimate ceremony at Saint Joseph's University, where they first met nine years prior. For that occasion, Pheloung wore a custom-made, long-sleeved lace gown with a hood and open back, created by her and Danielle's clothing brand, Phe Phe. This earlier choice drew some criticism on Reddit, with some users finding it excessive for a summer event.
Pheloung's wedding festivities followed an extravagant bachelorette party. She traveled to St. Barths on a private jet and stayed in a private villa for the trip. The jet and villa were sponsored by AI mirror company Swan Beauty. Pheloung was accompanied by nearly 20 friends, including fellow content creators, for the sponsored weekend. The group documented the trip on TikTok, sharing details of their journey, including their arrival on the private jet, which featured a bed, conference table, and cashmere seating. They were greeted with custom drinks and a buffet. The bridal party wore matching neon sweatsuits from Phe Phe, while Pheloung wore a custom white suit with "bride" detailing. She also carried a designer handbag during the trip. Upon arrival in St. Barths, they were transported to a large private villa with multiple living spaces and open-air bedrooms overlooking the sea. Similar villas in the area are reported to cost over $18,000 per week.
