Actor Geoffrey Arend proposed to the Mad Men beauty in late 2008 but Hendricks was in no hurry to plan her look for the big day.
She went for a dress fitting with designer Carolina Herrera for 2009’s Golden Globe awards – and instantly fell in love with the “perfect” gown for her wedding.
Hendricks tells Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine, “It was a classic column dress by Carolina Herrera with a sweetheart neckline, and a vintage-looking bustle on the back. It was the only one I tried on!
“I’d been to get a dress for the Golden Globes and, while I was there, they said, ‘Why don’t you try this?’ It was perfect.”
The actress and Arend married on 11 October, 2009.
