Alaina Marie Scottsaid “I do” in a one-of-a-kind bridal gown.
The 30-year-old and eldest daughter of Grammy-winning rapperEminemwed her longtime boyfriendMatt Moelleron June 9 during a Detroit ceremony filled with friends and family — including her sisterHaile Jade,who served as a bridesmaid.
Scott selectedKaterina Boccito create a bespoke haute couture wedding dress for her big day, and the designer tells PEOPLE exclusively all the details that went into crafting the altar look.
“Alaina is a fashion-forward girl, and individuality was key. She came to me with a vision of her dress during our initial meeting and we worked to bring her ideas to life,” says the Michigan-based dressmaker.
“We embellished the pattern with an array of thousands of mixed-glass beading, sequins and seed beads," adds Bocci, who also created romantic off-the-shoulder straps made of soft tulle to match the pleated skirt of the gown.
The showstopper of the ensemble, though, was Scott’s detailed ruffled train, which extended 80 inches. “We created layer upon layer of thousands of handmade tulle ruffles with embroidery throughout the train. The result was stunning,” says the designer.
Topping off the opulent number was a 14-inch-long cathedral veil “hand-beaded with crystals and stones.” There was also a secret sentimental touch to the delicate tiara accessory — “the initials of her and her future husband’s name.”
Overall, Bocci says the over-the-top creation took approximately 300 hours to make, including the designing stage, the work put into sewing the pieces together and Scott’s fittings.
“From fitting to fitting, the dress transformed,” as did their “beautiful bond,” Bocci tells PEOPLE.
“Working with Alaina is one of the fondest memories of my career. She was fun, exciting and a visionary,” she adds. “We shared so much laughter during every fitting.”
