Taylor Swift is keeping fans on the edge of their seats waiting for a glimpse of her couture wedding gown.

The singer and her husband, Travis Kelce, both wore custom Dior for their extravagant wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3, but they have yet to share any official photos from the big day.

However, the creative genius behind Taylor's highly anticipated gown has shared insight into what it was like bringing the bride's vision to life.

It was confirmed that Taylor and Travis' wedding looks were designed by the French fashion house's newly appointed creative director, Jonathan Anderson, who officially joined Dior in June 2025.

Following the couple's nuptials, Jonathan reflected on collaborating with Taylor on her haute couture gown, which made her the first celebrity to wear a couture wedding dress by the designer.

"It was a joy to work with her. We became very good friends," Jonathan told WWD"It's an emotional thing doing someone's wedding."

Taylor's publicist confirmed details about the singer and Travis' wedding attire after they said 'I do' on Friday evening.

"The bride and groom's wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture," Tree Paine confirmed in a release, obtained by HELLO!

"They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women's, Men's and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom."

It added: "This is the designer's first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity."

Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.

How Taylor and Travis transformed Madison Square Garden

Details about Taylor and Travis' wedding have been revealed by some of the star-studded guest list, which included Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper.

AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron, who worked closely with Taylor to release The Eras Tour concert movie in theaters, shared a detailed description of the wedding before later deleting the post, but not before it was screengrabbed by fans.

"It did not look like Madison Square Garden. Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white. Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display," he said.

He added that "a small portion of MSG was cordoned off" and "magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. 

"Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs."

Despite the scale of the wedding, Adam said, "it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close."

Taylor and Travis's marriage was confirmed on Friday evening, and to pay tribute to the couple, MSG's famous façade was illuminated with bright pink "JUST&T MARRIED!" signs.

Adam Sandler officiated the wedding, and the couple opted against a traditional bridal party. Instead, the bride's brother Austin Swift served as her Man of Honor, while the groom's brother Jason Kelce was his Best Man.
