Lana Del Rey’s Louisiana bayou wedding was as intimate as it was cinematic, complete with airboats, antique silver, and a cake that looked like a painting.
One year into married life, Lana Del Rey is giving fans a closer look at her wedding to husband Jeremy Dufrene, and yes, it’s just as dreamy as you’d expect.
The couple tied the knot on September 26, 2024, in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, the same bayou where Dufrene runs swamp boat tours. It was a full-circle moment for the pair, who first crossed paths there in 2019.
On their first anniversary, Del Rey posted a carousel of photos that transported followers back to that unforgettable day.
The images show the couple kissing on an airboat, laughing with friends, and sharing cake in a reception that felt more like a family gathering than a Hollywood spectacle. And that’s exactly what Del Rey wanted: a wedding rooted in love, not red carpets.
The Ceremony on the Bayou
Forget marble ballrooms and city rooftops, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by the untamed beauty of the Louisiana swamps. With Spanish moss draping the trees and water glistening in the background, the bayou itself acted as the décor.
Del Rey stunned in a romantic lace gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and full skirt, while Dufrene kept it simple in a tailored suit. The two held hands at the altar, framed by their closest friends and family.
Among the famous faces in attendance were Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley, who cheered wildly during the reception.
Details That Told Their Story
While the backdrop was rustic, the details were deeply personal. Their cake looked like a work of art, decorated with an illustration of a cabin framed in gold icing.
Guests left with keepsake perfume bottles etched with “Love on the Bayou” and the couple’s wedding date, a nod to Del Rey’s love for vintage glamour.
The reception tables were styled with antique silver serving pieces, creating a mix of Southern tradition and Lana-esque romanticism. It was intimate, meaningful, and just a little cinematic, exactly what you’d expect from the singer of Summertime Sadness.
A Whirlwind Romance
Though they made things official in 2024, the couple’s connection was years in the making. Fans first spotted them together in London in 2024, but Del Rey had quietly shared a photo of Dufrene as far back as 2019.
Those close to the singer describe their love story as a whirlwind, but one that felt inevitable.
On their anniversary, Del Rey shared not just wedding photos, but also the feeling behind them: joy, intimacy, and a kind of romance that doesn’t need big stages to feel big. One year in, the couple seems as smitten as they were on the day of their vows.
This is proof that weddings don’t have to be extravagant to be unforgettable. Sometimes the most glamorous setting is the place where your love story began, even if that’s on a Louisiana swamp boat.
