Sharing her posts to Instagram, Heather sat comfortably in a white silk gown while getting her hair and makeup done by a team of professionals ready to transform her into ‘Mrs. El Moussa.’
Her Lé Lauriér gown featured a plunging neckline and puffed sleeves with lace detailing on the wrists.
As she posed for photos with the designer Lauren Holovka, the real estate agent made sure to point out that her married initials ‘HEM’ were embroidered on the train.
As if one custom creation weren’t enough, the pajamas Heather donned in the early morning hours of her wedding day were made especially for her.

Tarek and Heather kicked off their ‘wedding weekend’ on Thursday, which saw the pair venture from their home in Orange County to the affluent beach town of Santa Barbara.
The couple got engaged in July of 2020, just a little over a year after they started dating in July 2019.

Prior to Heather, Tarek was married to his Flip Or Flop costar Christina Haack. They split in 2018 nine years of marriage.
The former couple share two children, son Brayden, six, and daughter Taylor 11, both of which were in attendance at Saturday’s ceremony.
Based on her Instagram Stories, Christina did not appear to be in attendance as she shared multiple clips of herself hanging out in the driveway of a home nestled in the woods.
The 38-year-old is currently engaged to fellow realtor Josh Hall. The engagement came less than a year after she filed for divorce from her then husband Ant Anstead.
