By now you’ve seen the gorgeous photos from Solange Knowles' Nov. 16 wedding to music video producer Alan Ferguson. But do you know all the secrets behind the style icon's big day?

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Mama Tina said that out of all of the wedding’s amazing moments, she was most touched by the couple’s vows.
(And let us also note that Tina shut the game down at the ceremony! Peep the image above for a glimpse of her wedding day fabulousness.)

"There wasn't a dry eye on the place," she said. "They were just so heartfelt and I just think the wedding epitomized Solange as a person, and her and Alan's artistic flare."
And despite the rumors that Beyoncé served as Solange’s maid of honor, Tina also revealed that the newlywed shunned convention and didn’t even have a bridal party.

That’s right! The fabulous Vogue picture we’ve all come to love was actually just a “family portrait” that included some of the wedding’s attendees, Tina said.

And what about Solange’s unexpected hives breakout ahead of her wedding after party? Well, Mama Tina said they were likely caused by Solange’s second round of celebrating after her wedding dinner.

“Solange went through the wedding and the sit-down dinner and she was just fine, and then they had a second line in the streets of New Orleans and she was dancing so hard, I think she just got overheated,” Tina said. “And the seafood, I think she had a reaction to it.”

But big sister Bey saved the day, taking her sister back to the hotel and giving her Benadryl and cortisone cream to relieve the breakout. Tina says Solange “took a shower and in two hours, she showed up at the reception and did the dance with her son Julez and just had a ball.”
Tina did admit not every wedding guest was allowed at the wedding after party, though. Solange’s baby niece Blue Ivy stayed at the hotel. And even 10-year-old Juelz had to leave after his adorable dance routine with his mom. “Julez had to go to bed. It was a grown folks party,” said Tina.
