Dynasty Star Adam Huber Marries Beauty Influencer Rachel Rigler in Croatia
Adam Huber, best known for his role in the series Dynasty, has married beauty influencer Rachel Rigler. The couple exchanged vows at the Brown Beach House in Trogir, Croatia, on Tuesday, September 23. Their intimate wedding was a celebration of their love and a special connection to Croatia, a place significant to the bride.
A Destination Wedding with a Personal Touch
Rachel Rigler has a deep connection to Croatia, having lived there during her childhood while her father worked for the State Department. The couple chose Croatia not only for its beauty but also as an opportunity for Rigler's family to return. They invited 30 of their closest loved ones to share in their special day and experience the Mediterranean charm.
"Since our family was having to travel so far, we wanted to give them a proper European vacation," Rigler said. "A boat day touring the Dalmatian islands, showing our family our favorite pizza spot in Split, a beautiful rehearsal dinner to celebrate our two families coming together, and a hungover day on the beach."
To create their dream wedding, Adam Huber and Rachel Rigler collaborated with Serendipity Weddings, a local event planner. They also hired Reel Events Weddings to capture the occasion, opting for a phone-free celebration.
Black-Tie Elegance with Modern Minimalism
Inspired by the black-and-white checkered pool deck of their hotel venue, the couple embraced a theme of "black-tie elegance with modern minimalism." The wedding décor featured a predominantly black and white palette with pops of green. The traditional ceremony was officiated by the bride's uncle, Andrew Peck, with music provided by a cellist and pianist. The couple exchanged handwritten vows written in small books purchased on Etsy.
The Bride's Attire and Sentimental Touches
Rachel Rigler wore a Valentini Spose's Catera gown, which she found at Bridals By Lori in Atlanta, where Adam Huber also got his custom suit. The one-shoulder design featured a full skirt and an open back. For the rehearsal dinner, Rigler wore a shortened version of her grandmother's handmade wedding dress for her mother 30 years ago. The bride ended the night in a dress she ordered from Etsy to jump into the hotel pool with her new husband.
"I broke down in tears when I tried the dress on, and just knew immediately that it was the one," she tells PEOPLE. "I have truly never felt more beautiful than when I’m wearing that dress."
Celebrations, Surprises, and a First Dance
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and a three-course dinner featuring seafood soup, a choice of fish or steak, and vanilla gelato with olive oil and pistachios. Pizza was served later in the night. Adam Huber and Rachel Rigler surprised their guests with a choreographed rumba to "Speechless" by Dan + Shay for their first dance. A dazzling fireworks display capped off the celebration.
How Their Love Story Began
Adam Huber and Rachel Rigler connected on Instagram, leading to a romantic weekend in Savannah, Georgia. Adam Huber proposed outside the Colosseum in Rome on April 18, 2024, a city with special meaning to the couple.
Looking to the Future
The newlyweds are looking forward to building a family and traveling the world with their children. First, they planned a five-night honeymoon in Istria, Croatia, known for its olive oil and wine, staying at the Grand Park Rovinj. They also plan to focus on projects in their new house.
