Solange Knowles’s nuptials have been swirling since the summer, and yesterday the 28-year-old singer and her 51-year-old video director boyfriend
Alan Ferguson made it official, after weekend wedding festivities in New Orleans.
“Everyone I worked with on the wedding are friends who I love,” said Solange.
“Everything was a labour of love.”
Knowles commissioned photographer
Rog Walker to take the official wedding portraits, and the stunning all-female family tableau which includes sister
Beyoncé and mother
Tina Knowles is a nod to the work of contemporary Italian artist
Vanessa Beecroft. It’s a far cry from the conservative strapless frock she wore to wed her first husband Daniel Smith, in 2004, and shows just how beautifully Knowles has come into her own.
Eschewing the traditional stretch limo, Knowles arrived at the ceremony in the Bywater district of the city on a white-painted bicycle decorated with cream roses and wearing an ivory-toned look by
Stephane Rolland.
She walked down the aisle to one of the couple’s favourite songs, a symphonic instrumental of
Donny Hathaway’s, “I Love the Lord, He Heard My Cry.” With performances by musician friends
Kelela, Questlove, and
Kindness—and an adorable dance-off between Knowles and her ten-year-old son
Daniel Julez to “No Flex Zone,”—it was truly a family affair.
