Photo: Gabriela Herman1/25We worked with Happy Menocal to design the invitations and menu for our summer wedding on Martha's Vineyard. She created a crest that incorporated a heart, ferns, California poppies, grapes, walnuts, and a moon.
Photo: Gabriela Herman2/25I wore a traditional Ukrainian dress by Vita Kin to our rehearsal dinner as a nod to my father's side of the family's heritage. I know I will be wearing it for years to come—the embroidery is mesmerizing and perfect. And, I love the tassels.

Photo: Gabriela Herman11/25Reciting my vows in supernatural color. I love the mint walls and red carpet paired with the dark green arbor. Our dear friend Varun officiated part of the ceremony, and I had a marigold necklace made especially for him.
Photo: Gabriela Herman12/25Just married at the Native American Baptist Church in Aquinnah! It was founded in the 1690s by the Wampanoag tribe, and I've been fascinated by it for years—it's simple and tiny and so unique.

Photo: Gabriela Herman14/25My Rosie Assoulin wedding dress was architectural, iconic, and entirely feminine—it has bows! Andrew wore a custom Paul Marlow suit.
Photo: Gabriela Herman15/25The most powerfully epic and loving tribe of women—my two sister-in-laws wore rope dresses in different colors, pieces from my friend's gorgeous label, Electric Feathers.
Photo: Gabriela Herman16/25We took pictures on the sprawling lower meadow field at the inn. One of the things I liked most about my dress is that it almost looks like a bathing suit from behind. I am always a fan of creating moments of contrast within context . . . so I absolutely loved that the ball gown skirt shape was married to the ultra sporty. There are many ways to feel like a bride!
Photo: Gabriela Herman17/25Dinner and dancing was in the tent on the upper meadow.
Photo: Gabriela Herman18/25There was a view of the lighthouse just beyond the open-air tent.
Photo: Gabriela Herman19/25Each fruit and flower centerpiece was unique, cascading, and bountiful. They were all arranged in aged terra-cotta planters, and we had little ferns in planters dotting the table as well.

Photo: Gabriela Herman21/25Pavlova is my favorite dessert, and this was by far the most delicious and beautiful one I've ever had.
