Jeni Yamamoto has always been a planner. The property is beautiful and has such a unique mix of Provence charm and modern design. She loved her edgy aesthetic and slid into her DMs to recruit her to plan her grand outdoor celebration. The groom wore a custom three-piece suit with a tailcoat designed by David Hart and fully committed to making the right choices when it came to selecting every fabric and finish. We were agonising over choosing between 50 shades of almost identical grey β constantly looking at swatches in direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, full shade, and during the night.
It was worth it, though, because we loved the finished product. Meanwhile, Jeni went to Spina Bride in New York City to find her gown β and ended up buying the very first dress she tried on. I called Spina in a panic, and they allowed me to exchange the dress for another one by the same designer, Lihi Hod.
I went back a few months later with a cooler head and picked a less embellished dress in a more streamlined silhouette that was much more my style. I also added a cape by Lihi Hod for the ceremony for a bit more drama. They ended up being perfect! Neither of us love public speaking, so we were relieved when the vows were done and we could celebrate with our friends and family at cocktail hour! We rented a house in Saint-Tropez and spent the next five days hanging by the pool, enjoying the beach clubs, shopping and eating.
It was so nice to be able to spend more quality time with friends while being completely stress-free β I highly recommend a polymoon for everyone! Our perfect backdrop. I wanted to tie in the pearl detail from my dress, and because my dress had a slit, the shoe had to be fun.
These Jimmy Choos fit the bill β added bonus being they were surprisingly comfortable! We were struggling to find the right spot for the ceremony, and our wedding planner, Les Grands Moments , suggested this spot. Instead of flower girls, my best friends, Noa and Ross, were flower boys. My mother is from Seoul, and I loved that she walked me down the aisle in a Korean hanbok. My dress and cape are by Lihi Hod. I wanted an elongated version with my favourite flowers, calla lilies.
