Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks has tied the knot, marrying George Bianchini, a camera operator, in a ceremony at the historic Napoleon House in New Orleans.

Hendricks, 48, wed Bianchini during a flower-bedecked three-day wedding celebration in New Orleans, according to an report by People, who had rights to cover the wedding.

The couple had 76 guests, that included Mad Men creator Matt Weiner, fashion designer Christian Siriano, Mae Whitman and Retta.

Hendricks donned a custom Katya Katya bridal gown which she says made her cry the first time she tried it on “because it was so beautiful.”

She paired the high-neck lace gown with a custom veil featuring tied ribbons on each side by couture bridal designer Claire Pettibone. The actress wore a number of other special outfits over the three days, including a cocktail evening dress by Siriano.

The wedding weekend featured a cocktail party, and ghost tour in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

Speaking of the theme for the abundant florals that set the scene, Hendricks chose a color palette of plum, blush and chocolate shades, which she describes as “gothic, moody and sexy,” with lots of Queen Anne’s lace. “George and I are both ex-goths, so that speaks to us,” she said.

The pair first began dating in 2020, and became engaged in early 2023. Hendricks told People New Orleans was special to each of the pair individually, as well as as a couple.

“New Orleans is a place that I always loved to go before I met George, and a place that he always loved to go before he met me.”
