Because of the many details, Mari, 28, toldVogue Australiathat she kept the rest of her wedding glam rather simple. HairstylistSara J. Lientied Mari’s hair back in a ponytail and makeup artistYuko Takahashikept her makeup fresh and understated glam.
Mari completed her look with a veil and Jimmy Choos — plus her jewels.
“I’m a huge fan of David Yurman, and our local jewellery shop, Royal Jewellers, was able to provide stunning pieces that made me feel like royalty for our big day. I walked down the aisle wearing glamorous, crystal studded Jimmy Choos.”
Duhamel, 49, wore Ralph Lauren for the ceremony. He dressed in a classic black and white tailcoat tuxedo.

For the reception, Mari changed into a champagne-colored gown with a more sleek silhouette. The beaded gown included a low-cut back and small train, and she paired the dress with Christian Louboutin heels.
“For our final look, Josh and I wore Chistian Louboutins as our dancing shoes,” she shared.
Mari didn’t stop with just two dresses, though. Elsewhere in her wedding weekend she wore a feathery Anne Barge mini dress and a one-sleeve floor-length Anne Barge dress.
Duhamel begandating Mari in 2019following hisdivorcefromFergie. The “Big Girls Don’t Cry” singer, 47,filed for divorcein late May 2019, nearly two years after she and the actorannounced their breakupin a joint statement in September 2017.
The source added that Mari is “very sweet, caring and close with her family” and was “getting to know” Duhamel’s 9-year-old sonAxl Jack, whom he shares with Fergie.
In May 2022, Duhamelchatted with PEOPLEabout his upcoming wedding day atThe Thing About Pam’sFor Your Consideration event in Hollywood, explaining at the time that he and his then-fiancée were “in full prep mode.”
When asked if he was enjoying the process, he explained that because he had been busy working, Mari had taken the reins. “Thankfully she’s really good at it,” he said. “I’m there to sort of answer questions or if she’s got questions about something.” Duhamel did, however, make sure to give his input on where the wedding would take place.
“We knew we wanted to get married in Fargo,” Mari toldVogue Australia. “It was the most important thing for us. Not only is it home to us, but it was so convenient for everyone we love to get to. I guess the romantic in me always feels like we’re just two small-town kids from North Dakota who found each other in Los Angeles. But we will always always be home, no matter where we are in the world.”
