Keeping the spotlight on the statement gown, Brown paired the look with minimalist nude thong sandals, one of the season’s go-to shoe trends. She also wore her striking cushion-cut diamond engagement ring, adding a subtle touch of sparkle to the elegant outfit.

Her beauty look matched the romantic aesthetic:

Her makeup was equally understated, featuring radiant skin, softly defined eyes, feathered brows and rosy nude lips. The natural glam allowed the colorful floral print to remain the focus while enhancing her fresh summer glow. Diamond stud earrings completed the polished look.
