Photo: Nick Tucker2/49I knew I wanted my hair in a long braid for the Indian ceremony Friday night, but it was Prabal Gurung who suggested surrounding the base in jasmine. My hair took a couple of hours to do, but it was so worth it—the flowers were amazingly fragrant.
Photo: Nick Tucker3/49Taking my lehenga for a spin, literally. It moved so beautifully, and the base of the skirt had hand-embroidered symbols and places that are meaningful to me and Charlie—like our dog, Duchess, and our favorite neighborhood bar in the West Village.
Photo: Nick Tucker4/49Couldn’t stop twirling! Here I am with my father, stepmother, and stepbrother.
Photo: Nick Tucker5/49I was so happy to be surrounded by my bridesmaids and man for the weekend. They are such a special group who can always make me laugh. They looked amazing in their coordinating saris and jacket, and the moody overcast weather really made the colors pop.
Photo: Nick Tucker6/49Friday night, we gave our guests the option to wear either cocktail or Indian attire. It meant so much to me that Charlie’s family went the traditional route. Don’t they look handsome?
Photo: Nick Tucker7/49Charlie’s nephew Henry has his turban tied. He wore a custom outfit from Anita Dongre that coordinated with Charlie’s. He looked unbelievably cute.
Photo: Nick Tucker8/49The horse is ready! Steadfastly guided by Simon (who looked pretty dapper himself).
Photo: Nick Tucker9/49The beginning of the groom’s procession, known as the Baraat. My nieces and cousin are leading the way; everyone dances to the drummers and cheers the groom on. I secretly watched from a window in the manor, since the groom is not supposed to see the bride before the ceremony.
Photo: Nick Tucker10/49Doesn’t Charlie look like a natural on the horse? It was such a happy, exciting moment surrounded by his groomsmen, family, and loved ones.

Photo: Nick Tucker12/49My two brothers-in-law, my uncles, and my dad. My uncles are both in their 90s and still full of energy.
Photo: Nick Tucker13/49Henry was very excited about the garland exchange. He stole the show at every moment, to be honest.
Photo: Nick Tucker14/49My beautiful stepmother Catherine, who saw through every detail of the wedding. She looked absolutely incredible in an outfit by Anita Dongre.
Photo: Nick Tucker15/49Walking into the orangerie for the Hindu ceremony with my dad. I had been hidden upstairs until that point. One of our two walks down the aisle that weekend.
Photo: Nick Tucker16/49Keeping with tradition, a shawl is held up between the bride and groom and then slowly lowered so they’re revealed to each other. I’m laughing because our pundit joked this is because we’d “never seen each other before.”
Photo: Nick Tucker17/49My dad commencing the Hindu ceremony by giving us Tilaka, marking our foreheads with red paste to symbolize his blessing.
Photo: Nick Tucker20/49Our friends John and Gela getting up close and personal with the details of my lehenga. I definitely appreciated Gela’s amazing fan on the dance floor later that evening!
Photo: Nick Tucker21/49In the tradition of Sangeet, my cousins performed a dance and skit about me and Charlie’s relationship. It was incredible. The skit was both hilarious and disturbingsly accurate.
Photo: Nick Tucker22/49My little cousin Gia was the star of the dance floor both Friday and Saturday. She actually grabbed people by the hand who weren’t dancing and insisted they join in. Ultimate motivation: her cuteness!
Photo: Nick Tucker24/49One of my bridesmaids Jesse Lazowski, founder of Marlo Laz, is an incredibly talented jewelry designer. She outfitted all my maids with jewels for the big day—here she’s testing which earrings are best for my maid of honor, Nina. Nina has multiple ear piercings and I believe her words leading up to this moment were “rack ‘em up!”
Photo: Nick Tucker25/49The bridesmaids relax with some Champagne before the ceremony on Saturday. I love how their bouquets went with their dark floral dresses.
Photo: Nick Tucker27/49Behind every girl with a long train is a dedicated maid of honor adjusting it.
Photo: Nick Tucker28/49I was so in love with my mehndi. I got it done in London a few days before the wedding so that the color set. I loved how it looked with my Westwood gown.
Photo: Nick Tucker29/49I wanted the table settings to be beautiful but simple, and I feel like we really nailed it. The gray brocade felt so decadent, but the simple floral arrangements made it easy for everyone to chat.
Photo: Nick Tucker30/49Our ringbearer, Henry! Hill House Home made us a custom ring pillow that included a monogram from our Stephanie Fishwick crest, a gift from Charlie’s sister, Nell, the founder of HHH.
Photo: Nick Tucker32/49There were a lot of tears, but also a lot of laughs! Here I am reading Charlie the vows I wrote.
Photo: Nick Tucker35/49Charlie can always make me laugh. We had some nice alone time taking photos after the ceremony that was pretty magical.
Photo: Nick Tucker36/49There was badminton set up on the back lawn for the cocktail reception. Here are Johnny and Pat putting it to use!
Photo: Nick Tucker37/49By the time we were ready for bridesmaid pictures, the wind had really picked up and it was quite cold. We definitely hustled through these pics, but the candids (like this one) are hilarious.
Photo: Nick Tucker38/49Charlie showing off the custom lining of his suit by Michael Andrews Bespoke. Repping his dual nationalities!
Photo: Nick Tucker40/49My dad’s speech was incredibly moving. We ran the gamut of emotions, as you can see.
Photo: Nick Tucker41/49A special moment between my father and I. My mom passed away when I was 9, so we have an incredibly close relationship.
Photo: Nick Tucker42/49Our beautiful cake. I love how the floral decoration corresponded to the flowers around the house.
Photo: Nick Tucker43/49Our first dance! “Dancing Queen” by ABBA, one of our favorites. We wanted it to be fun and relaxed.
Photo: Nick Tucker45/49Before we cut the cake, I changed into a gold-sequined dancing dress made for me by Prabal Gurung.
Photo: Nick Tucker47/49All we wanted was for people to let loose and dance, and our guests did not disappoint!
Photo: Nick Tucker48/49The bartenders and other staff at Aynhoe were so fun, it felt like they were part of the party.
