Kate and Michael

With a cast of their closest friends and family, and jaw-dropping scenery provided by the great state of Montana, actress Kate Bosworth married director Michael Polish in a weekend-long celebration that was nothing short of cinematic.

The mountaintop wedding on August 31, 2013, began when Kate rode up in a horse-drawn carriage, her cathedral-length veil and 16 feet of a custom Oscar de la Renta gown billowing behind her.

Instead of a guest book, partygoers signed a map of the treasure state. The couple's CM motif, used throughout the weekend, marked the spot where the wedding was held.

Granite Lodge, where everyone ate breakfast each morning of the four-day event, got a makeover with votive candles hung from twining vines. "The Martha Stewart team trans- formed the main dining room so beautifully," says Kate. "It looked like a Midsummer Night's Dream," adds Michael.
