Solange Knowles tied the knot with video director Alan Ferguson in
New Orleans on Sunday in front of about 200 family and friends, PEOPLE
confirms. The happy couple said “I do” at the Marigny Opera House in New
Orleans. Around 2 p.m., the pair arrived via white-painted vintage
bicycles, and it was all about the details: The bride’s basket held
flowers!
“Beaming. Calm. They looked pretty calm, relaxed on their wedding day,” one onlooker tells PEOPLE. “Definitely happy.” As for their arrival attire, the bride rocked a cream pantsuit with a
cape and plunging V-neck (accenting her look with a red lip) by
Stéphane Rolland, while the groom matched in a white suit sans tie.
Meanwhile, big sis Beyoncé pulled up about 15 minutes later in a
black SUV, with husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy in tow. Mom Tina
Knowles, son Daniel Julez and singer Janelle Monae also attended.
Ahead of their nuptials, the newlyweds celebrated with an intimate
pre-wedding bash Friday at NOLA’s Indywood Cinema, which Hayley Sampson,
the theater’s co-owner, told PEOPLE, “was pretty adorable.”
“Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago,” she told Harper’s
Bazaar earlier this year. “My love life has been stable for a while.
It’s a f–––ed up thing … without conflict it’s a lot harder to write
interesting songs.”
In June, the two went on a romantic getaway to Jamaica, where the singer celebrated her 28th birthday.
Ferguson, 51, has directed videos for Katy Perry and John Legend, and
won a BET Award for Best Video Director for co-directing Beyoncé’s
“Party” and “Dance for You” music videos.
This is the second marriage for the private star, who had Daniel Julez, 10, with ex-husband Daniel Smith.
She told Harper’s Bazaar earlier
this year: “Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life
has been stable for a while. It’s a f — cked up thing … without conflict
it’s a lot harder to write interesting songs.” The only downside it seems to rocking up to your wedding on bikes is
that you’re not immune to the odd puncture, with Ferguson picking up a
flat tire on the home stretch of their journey.
