Destry Spielberg's Hamptons Wedding Celebrates Personal

Destry Allyn Spielberg married Jake Herskowitz in a Hamptons wedding on Saturday, September 26. The 29-year-old filmmaker and youngest daughter of Steven Spielberg wed the 26-year-old real estate agent in East Hampton, N.Y., several months after announcing their engagement in February.

Destry Spielberg wore two distinct gowns for her wedding day. For the ceremony, she wore a custom white corseted gown designed by New York-based designer Seline Meisler. The dress featured a corseted waist with French lace creating a high neckline and a voluminous, billowing tulip skirt. She accessorized with yellow heels and wore her blonde hair in a sleek bun. For the reception, she changed into a light yellow cowl-neck gown, with her hair styled in a sleek updo. Stylist Nicole Chavez shared details of the dress on Instagram.
