Emma is yet to comment on her father missing the ceremony. Father and daughter are said to have a rocky relationship, thought Eric confirmed earlier this year that they were no longer estranged.
He told the Really Famous podcast (via Entertainment Weekly) that their relationship was “only complicated through outside eyes”.
The actress was walked down the aisle by her five-year-old son Rhodes Robert Hedlund, who she shares with ex Garrett Hedlund.
On Instagram Emma’s hairstylist Nikki Lee shared photos of the actress having her final dress fittings with designer Monique Lhuillier. The photos showed Emma in a white bridal gown complete with veil and a black, strapless, tiered dress.
