So… where do we even start? Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson got married in New Orleans on November 16 in basically the modern, most hipster-chic wedding of the year, hands down. But what exactly made it so darn cool?

Well, for starters, Solange wore not one, but two amazing capes to complete both of her bridal looks. Solange and Alan pulled up at the Holy Trinity Church near Bywater, Louisiana, for their wedding ceremony on white-painted vintage bicycles, and Solange totally rocked a low-cut ivory Stephane Rolland jumpsuit with an attached cape for her prewedding look. (Oh, and it looks like she pedaled the whole way with heels on. Rockstar!) Plus, she even had white roses and greenery decorating the bike. Alan matched his bride with a sharp white Lanvin suit.

For the ceremony, Solange changed into an incredibly regal ivory Humberto Leon for Kenzo wedding dress with an attached cape, as seen in her gorgeous wedding photos taken by Rog Walker. She accessorized her insanely chic look with red lipstick, stacked gold Jill for Lady Grey bracelets and Stuart Weitzman shoes. We love that Solange incorporated her own boho, fashion-forward style into her wedding look, making her bridal style uniquely her.

Oh, but let’s not forget Beyonce’s sexy maid of honor dress in a stunning all-female, all-white wedding portrait, shared by Vogue. Queen Bey wore a white Torn by Ronny Kobo dress and white platform heels (and kind of pulled a little bit of a Pippa — but come on, it’s Beyonce), and their mother Tina Knowles looked elegant in a draped column gown and gold accessories.

Solange and Alan’s wedding was a total family affair as well — Jay Z and Blue Ivy were there in white ensembles, as well as Solange’s 10-year-old son, Julez (with her first husband Daniel Smith), wearing a stylish white tux and sunglasses.

She walked down the aisle to a special song: a symphonic instrumental rendition of Donny Hathaway’s, “I Love the Lord, He Heard My Cry.” Kelela, Questlove and Kindness also performed at the reception.

“Everyone I worked with on the wedding are friends who I love,” Solange told Vogue via e-mail. “Everything was a labor of love.”

And finally, this wedding was so amazing that even the usually-private Bey shared multiple snaps on Instagram, along with two from Vogue and Questlove:

“Elegance.”

As we suspected, Solange and Alan secretly got engaged on her 28th birthday in June. The singer also wore more stylish white looks for her rehearsal dinner and family movie night (the couple chose to show Mahogany, which the newlyweds saw on their first date).
