Madelaine Brockway has shared a new glimpse into the days leading up to her glamorous Paris nuptials, while revealing some of the many custom outfits that she wore during the five-day festivities – from her Oscar de la Renta ‘welcome party’ dress to her Dior haute couture wedding gown.
Madelaine, 26, who is originally from Miami, Florida, but now lives in Fort Worth, Texas, was skyrocketed into the spotlight after she tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Jacob LaGrone, last week and threw a wildly lavish nearly week-long celebration at some of the most coveted spots in France.
The nuptials came complete with a rehearsal dinner at the Paris Opera House, a private lunch at the Chanel Haute Couture Suite, an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles, and an intimate Maroon 5 concert – which was all documented and has slowly been rolling out across Madelaine’s social media accounts.
In one of her latest posts, Madelaine showcased the events that took place two days before the wedding – which included a dress reveal with her closest friends at Paris’s Dior store followed by a huge party to ‘welcome’ her loved ones to the City of Lights.

The TikTok video then showcased a montage of clips that featured Madelaine and her friends hanging out in a private area of the Dior shop.
It then cut to one that showed her loved ones all lined up as she seemingly walked out in her dress for the first time.
Many of their mouths opened wide in amazement, as some cheered and others became emotional.
While Madelaine didn’t show off the dress in the video, a post from the event planning company that she used revealed that it was a custom Dior haute couture gown embroidered with her favorite flower, Lilies of the Valley.
Later on in the TikTok, the bride-to-be and her pals were seen getting ready for the welcome party.
Each one of her friends got their own vanity table and mirror, as well as a professional makeup artist and stylist to help them get glammed up.
Madelaine opted for a white, mini Oscar de la Renta dress with hundreds of butterflies sewn onto it for the event.

‘Why did you pick this dress?’ someone off-camera asked Madelaine in the TikTok, to which she replied, ‘Because I love butterflies.’
The party was certainly an extravagant affair, boasting a live band, tons of alcohol, a stunning array of food – including a pasta dished cooked in a giant bowl made from cheese.
Madelaine and Jacob’s wedding took place on November 18, but the couple and their closest friends and family members flew to Paris days before that to begin the celebrations, via private jet of course.
They received the ultimate VIP treatment throughout the five-day endeavor, which included a personal driver, an immense hair and makeup team to ensure Madelaine looked perfect for each occasion, and a group of professional photographers who trailed their every move.
The events kicked off with a party at the Chanel store, where Madelaine and her loved ones were served a slew of delicious-looking treats.
The group got to make their own custom Chanel pouches as they sipped on champagne and enjoyed the desserts.

The next day, they headed to the iconic Palace of Versailles, where they were given a private tour.
That evening, Madelaine and Jacob hosted a candlelit dinner for their relatives at the former royal residence.
The couple stayed overnight at the Le Grand Contrôle hotel in the Palace, where rooms start at $2,400 per night, but go up to $14,200 depending on the type and size.
The next day, Madelaine and Jacob visited the Eiffel Tower, before embarking on a nighttime boat tour of the city. After that, they had a small afterparty under the Arc De Triumph, where they snacked on macaroons and enjoyed some cocktails.
The rehearsal dinner took place at the acclaimed Paris Opera House – and the pair had the building completely decked out with hundreds of flowers.
According to a video shared by the flower company, it took 25 staff members and an entire week of preparing to get the Opera House ready for Madelaine’s party.
Violinists lined the stairs and played live music as Madelaine and Jacob entered. The pair and their guests then dined under Marc Chagall’s famous painted ceiling in the Garnier.

The actual wedding was held at the exquisite garden at the historical Chateau de Villette, where Madelaine and Jacob exchanged vows on a platform that floated in a large fountain.
For the reception afterwards, they celebrated in a nearby greenhouse that had been constructed just for the event, which had white and green flowers hanging from the ceiling, a live orchestra, and intricate lights that spelled out their initials.
Maroon 5 took the stage later on in the evening, performing for the couple as they enjoyed their first dance together.
Madelaine’s videos of the affair left almost everyone on the web wondering who exactly she and Jacob were and how they managed to pull off what is now being described as the most luxurious wedding in the last 100 years.
It turns out, the viral new star comes from a very successful family. Her dad, Bob Brockway, is the chairman and CEO of Ussery Automotive Group, a car company that oversees a series of Mercedes Benz dealerships in Florida.
