Malin Akerman wore a pink dress at her second wedding: ‘I wanted it to be different’


Actress Malin Akerman, 40, got married in an intimate beach wedding in Tulum, Mexico over the weekend to 32 year-old British actor Jack Donnelly. I thought she was American but she as born in Sweden and moved to Canada at age two. Malin’s first marriage was to musician Roberto Zincone, and they have a five year-old son together, Sebastian. Malin and Jack got engaged in the fall of 2017 after making their debut as a couple earlier that year. She’s said that Jack and her son are “inseparable” and that they get along very well. Malin did an interview with Brides Magazine with all the details about her wedding, including the gifts she gave guests and the pink gown she chose by Cushnie. Brides has a lot of beautiful candid photos of the wedding as well. The groom wore a button up shirt with a vest.

For her wedding dress, Malin—with the help of her stylist Molly Fishkin Levin—looked to designer Cushnie. “I’ve worn many of their pieces to events and have always felt so chic and cool in their stuff,” she explains. As for the blush hue: “I decided on a color instead of white because it’s the second time round and I wanted it to be different,” she says. She also tucked a single purple bloom into her wavy updo for an additional pop…

The main event happened on the hotel’s beach overlooking the ocean. (Malin describes the scene as “intimate and magical.”) The aisle was lined with pampas grass in glass vessels, and the ceremony altar was made with dream catchers that the couple could take home as mementos.

Once at the altar, she and Jack exchanged personal vows and wedding bands by Deanna Devries. “Every element of the ceremony was so true to what’s important to us,” she says. “Having all of our friends and family there, speaking our own vows with the water washing over our feet, felt so amazing.”

The wedding sounds very boho and relaxing. However just reading the list of people and companies she credits on Instagram makes me tired. You know so much work was involved in making it seems so low key. Malin and Jack look very much in love and I really enjoyed the pictures. Her gown was a great choice too. It’s fun to see brides in colorful more casual dresses. This reminds me of Keira Knightley’s awesome wedding dress. She wore a powder pink Chanel tulle strapless knee length gown for her 2013 wedding that she’d actually worn a few years before that. Then she repurposed that gown for a 2014 event and promptly spilled wine on it. At least she got a lot of use out of the dress. So will Malin re-wear her wedding gown? She should, it’s a very pretty slip dress. I would love to see her step out with her new husband in that gown.

    She looks pretty and happy. I like the simple and different dress.

  2. Lindy says:

    She looks so happy and I love the dress, I think it matches her vibe perfectly.

    I wore a pale green and pink flowered dress to my second wedding in my backyard, with breakfast tacos and mimosas and cake. My first wedding was a huge event with all the standard things and I spent 12 miserable years in that marriage. The second time around I wanted something totally different. I get wanting color and a cheery bright dress.

    Those are really beautiful pictures of what it looks like a very nice wedding. They look happy and layed back which is the best you can get for a wedding. Also so classy of a celebrity friends (Michelle Monaghan) to post a nice picture of newlyweds without even her present opposite to attention seeking people who use weddings and birthdays as an opportunity to post their own pics.

    She looks glorious in soft pink. It’s such a pretty dress and I feel like it looks more romantic to me than those overblown tulle petticoat ones. But that’s probably because I prefer wearing bohemian clothes instead of cutesy, girly ones.

    I love how colourful wedding dresses have become a trend!✨

    If I ever marry I’ll definitely rewear the dress like Kiera Knightly did. I’ll probably spill wine all over it too.😂

    I don’t watch movies, so have no idea who she is. She’s very pretty, and I love that she smiles rather than pouts in the photos. Congrats to them!

    I got married twelve years ago and came close to wearing a pale pink dress. My friends were horrified when I told them what I was thinking of – the only reason I didn’t is because it was weird in the bust area. I am so glad colorful dresses are a thing now!

  7. Kitten says:

    Love the wedding pics. Absolutely LOVE non-traditional colors for a wedding dress and non-traditional weddings as well. I also like that she’s my age and her husband is my BF’s age 😉
    They look so happy and cute together 🙂

    She looks beautiful and so happy! My husband and I are thinking about renewing our vows or having a huge anniversary party for our 15th next year. I want a beautiful rose gold gown for the event whether it’s a vow renewal or just a big party.

  9. Tequilaearworm says:

    Her first husband left her the second she popped out a kid, so I wish her better luck with this one. She deserves better

  10. Rice says:

    Hubby and I are currently binge-watching Billions and she’s a total badass, ride-or-die chick!

    I am TRYING to find a pretty dress with color for my second wedding and having zero luck. The wedding is in three months and I’m starting to get a wee bit stressed out about the lack of outfit.

      You can get it done if you can’t find one of your liking. A friend of mine did that and was tha happiest

  12. meh says:

    So she got married in a nightgown.

    • skipper says:

      It does kind of look like that now that you mention it! lol! I’m sure she was super comfortable in it though. 🙂

    • L says:

      loool thought i was the only one thinking so……that’s definitely a night gown but she looks very comfy innit and happy! good for her!

  13. AtlLady says:

    Am I the only woman on the planet who detests the color pink?

  14. Antonym says:

    Are we not going to talk about the fact that a Swedish woman and British man were married at an altar “made with dreamcatchers”?
