Pretty Little Liars' Sasha Pieterse Dishes on Her Love of Entertaining and Her 'New Chapter'
For her fairytale nuptials, the bride donned a custom Christian Siriano gown, a XIV Karats necklace and Zadig & Voltaire bracelets. Her hair and makeup was done by Ryan Richman and Kirin Bhatty, respectively.
The Perfectionists star has been open about how her now-husband lifted her up during the most challenging period of her life: when she gained nearly 70 lbs. over two years due to a hormone condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
"He's incredible," she told PEOPLE while competing on Dancing with the Stars in October 2017. "I've known him for so long, and it's so incredible having someone like that supporting you and knowing without a doubt that they are going to be there no matter what happens."
