Both Portman and Millepied were wrapped in tallits, and the ceremony took place under a rustic chuppah made of twigs. At the end of the ceremony, Millepied, who is not Jewish, smashed the glass and everyone yelled, “Mazal Tov!”
The desert was French macaroons and the guests received packets of wildflower seeds to take home, with “Merci” — thank you in French — inscribed on them.
In addition to the French macaroons, which were vegan and came at the expense of the traditional wedding cake, the entire menu was strictly vegan (like Portman’s daily diet).
The wedding was reportedly designed by wedding planners Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove (the former was also in charge of Drew Barrymore’s Jewish wedding). It took place in Big Sur in Central California, and the vows were exchanged in the dark, with 14-month-old Aleph, the son of the newlyweds, present.
Among the attendees — Ivanka Trump (who eveninstagrammed from the event), Rashida Jones, Diane Sawyer and Macaulay Culkin.
In addition to the wildflower seeds handed out to guests, the ceremony featured wildflower arrangements, and Portman wore a crownof white wildflowers in her hair. Portman was also wearing a white gown from Rodarte (which also made her purple dress for the Oscars two years ago).
