Honestly, the Sophie Turner wedding was never going to be a boring affair. When you mix a Game of Thrones icon with a Jonas Brother, you don't exactly expect a standard ballroom and a bland chicken dinner. But even by celebrity standards, the 2019 nuptials were a wild ride that basically broke the internet twice.
It started in a neon-lit chapel in Vegas and ended in an 18th-century French chateau. Most people remember the headlines, but the actual details? They're a mix of high-fashion drama, a rogue DJ, and a literal heatwave.
The Vegas "Secret" That Wasn't
The first Sophie Turner wedding happened on May 1, 2019. It was supposed to be a total secret. The couple had just finished at the Billboard Music Awards and figured, why not? They headed straight to A Little White Wedding Chapel. It’s a classic move.
But then there was Diplo.
The DJ was a guest and, well, he loves Instagram. He live-streamed the entire thing—dog filters and all. Joe later joked that Diplo "ruined" it, but in reality, it just made the world love them more. They exchanged candy Ring Pops. Dan + Shay sang "Speechless" while an Elvis impersonator presided over the room. Sophie didn't wear a gown; she wore a white silk jumpsuit by Bevza and gold Loeffler Randall mules.
It was chaotic. It was fast. It was very "them."
Scaling Up for the South of France
Fast forward to June 29, 2019. The couple headed to Provence for round two. This was the "official" Sophie Turner wedding—the one with the massive budget and the guest list that read like a Hollywood power list.
They rented the Château de Tourreau in Sarrians. If you have $5,000+ to spare, you can actually rent it on Airbnb. It’s got nine bedrooms, a library, a pool, and enough history to make Winterfell look like a new build.

The vibe? Pure luxury.
But there was a catch. Europe was hitting record-breaking temperatures that weekend. We’re talking a massive heatwave. Guests were reportedly handed wet towels and glasses of chilled wine the second they arrived to keep from melting in their formalwear.
That Louis Vuitton Dress
While the Vegas jumpsuit was cool, the French wedding dress was a masterpiece. Sophie is a Louis Vuitton ambassador, so naturally, Nicolas Ghesquière designed her gown.
The numbers are actually insane:
- It took over 350 hours to assemble.
- There were 650,000 stitches.
- Each panel had over 50,400 crystal beads and an equal number of white beads.
- The veil alone took 48 hours of embroidery.
It featured long lace sleeves, a plunging neckline, and a wide belted sash. It was traditional but had that sharp, architectural edge Ghesquière is known for.
The Guest List and the Red Rehearsal
You can't talk about this wedding without mentioning the "J-Sisters." Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas were there, obviously. Priyanka actually did double duty as a bridesmaid and a flower girl in Vegas. Maisie Williams, Sophie’s Game of Thrones sister, was the maid of honor.
The night before the main ceremony, they did something bold.

Instead of white, the couple asked everyone to wear white while they wore bright red. Sophie wore a sleek, floor-length red gown and Joe matched in a red suit. It was a total power move. They looked incredible against the backdrop of the Hotel de la Mirande in Avignon.
Where Things Stand Now
Look, we have to acknowledge the elephant in the room. As of early 2026, the "Mr. and Mrs. Jonas" era is officially over. Joe filed for divorce in late 2023, and it was finalized in September 2024.
It was messy for a minute—lawsuits over where the kids would live and some unfortunate headlines—but things have settled. Joe is currently linked to model Tatiana Gabriela. Sophie has been seen moving on too, recently spotted in New York and linked to Peregrine Pearson for a while, though she’s reportedly entering 2026 single and focused on herself.
Even though the marriage didn't last, the Sophie Turner wedding remains a blueprint for how to do a "cool" celebrity wedding. It balanced the impulsive fun of Sin City with the high-art elegance of the French countryside.
How to Channel the Vibe
If you’re looking to steal some of that energy for your own event, here’s the takeaway:
- Don't fear the jumpsuit. A bridal jumpsuit is a massive statement that’s actually comfortable.
- Vary the dress code. Making guests wear one color while you wear a contrasting one is an easy way to make photos pop.
- Keep it personal. Whether it’s Ring Pops or a specific song, the little quirks are what people remember after the flowers die.
The 2019 festivities were a moment in time that perfectly captured the peak of "Jophie" fever. Whether you preferred the Elvis ceremony or the 350-hour couture gown, there's no denying it was one for the history books.
