Christina Hendricks, the renowned actress, has recently tied the knot with George Bianchini in a glamorous wedding ceremony held at the historic Napoleon House in New Orleans. The wedding, which took place on Saturday, April 20, was a star-studded affair with guests including Mad Men creator Matt Weiner, Christian Siriano, Mae Whitman, and Retta.
Both Hendricks and Bianchini, who works as a camera operator in the film and TV industry, chose New Orleans as the location for their special day due to their shared love for the city. According to Hendricks, New Orleans holds a significant place in their hearts as it served as a meeting point for the couple when they were living across the country from each other.
The couple fell in love with the Napoleon House, a historic French Quarter landmark known for its rich history and grandeur. Hendricks described the venue as having a unique blend of Cuban, Spanish, and European influences, reflecting their own eclectic style.
Having started dating in 2020 and getting engaged in February 2023, Hendricks and Bianchini decided to invite 76 guests to their wedding, a number that felt just right for the couple. Hendricks emphasized that while they wanted a celebration, it was not intended to be a small, intimate affair but rather a grand and joyous event.
Despite the challenges of planning the wedding from afar while filming in Ireland for the TV series Small Town, Big Story, Hendricks took the lead in organizing the details of the event. She embraced the opulent and decadent atmosphere of old New Orleans, allowing the location to influence the overall aesthetic of the wedding.
The wedding ceremony, officiated by Shirley Manson, the lead singer of the band Garbage, was a beautiful and memorable occasion for the couple and their guests. Hendricks looked radiant in a Katya Katya gown, while Bianchini was dashing in his wedding attire.
As the newlyweds embark on this next chapter of their lives together, their wedding in New Orleans will undoubtedly remain a cherished memory for years to come, symbolizing their love and commitment to each other.
