Dobrev was one of several CW stars who attended Szohr and Richardson's scenic wedding at the luxury golf club Pine Canyon in Flagstaff, Ariz. surrounded by 150 of their closest family and friends.

The bride wore three different Galia Lahav gowns for the big day, including the designer's Tokyogown, which was described in a press release to PEOPLE as "a fashion-forward, bold look" that "perfectly" reflected "her personality." Szohr paired the dress with a custom veil, designed by Galia Lahav head designer Sharon Sever that also featured a special quote from her grandfather embellished in crystals that read: "Take Time to Smell the Roses."

Dobrev, as Maid of Honor, wore a Galia Lahav Elise dress in custom sage green.
