Zach Bryan pays tribute to his late mother on his wife Samantha Leonard’s wedding dress

Zach Bryan has shared some cool new information about his new wife Samantha Leonard’s wedding dress.

After the “Something in the Orange” singer, 29, confirmed the newlyweds were married in an Instagram post shared on Dec. 31, 2025, Brian shared that Leonard “went out of his way” to incorporate some of the lace from his late mother’s wedding dress into his own dress.

In a post on his Instagram Stories on January 5th, Brian wrote, “I cried for a while because Samantha went out of her way to add the lace from my mother’s wedding dress to her own,” and added, “Thank you so much, thank you so much.”

The next slide is a photo of Brian’s late mother, Annette, from her wedding day. “I wish you were here right now,” Brian wrote above a photo of his mother, who died in 2016.

On January 2, Leonard posted a series of photos from the bride and groom’s ceremony, which appears to have taken place at the Basilica of Santa Maria del Coro, a baroque Roman Catholic church in San Sebastian, Spain. The bride and groom could be seen exchanging vows in a gorgeous venue filled with celebratory flower arrangements.

One photo shows Brian wiping tears from his eyes as he stands in front of his bride wearing a lace wedding dress with sheer sleeves and a long veil. Another photo showed the pair sitting and posing together while Leonard held a bouquet of white flowers.

Leonard simply captioned the post, “Forever xx.”
