Ricki Lake has posted photos of her wedding dress on Twitter, after eloping with Christian Evans.

The 43-year-old television personality chose Dancing with the Stars costume designer Daniella Gschwendtner to create her gown.

Lake and Evans exchanged vows at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California over the weekend in a simple ceremony.

Lake told People magazine it was the anxiety about having a large event for her nuptials that made her decide to have a scaled-back affair.

"We talked about a big wedding at first," she said. "We hired a wedding planner, but I broke into hives thinking about who I'm going to invite and who I'm going to insult by not inviting."

"At the end of the day," Evans added. "The best solution was to have our moment of being together and getting married."

The only guests, apart from Lake's "glam squad" to get her ready, were the couple's two dogs.

Lake's two children from her first marriage; Milo, 15, and Owen, 10, opted out of attending.

"They love Christian," Lake said, "but they couldn't care less about the ceremony."

Lake is launching her new talk show later this year and has a memoir coming out called Never Say Never.
