My mom and I went to the flower market on Thursday to pick out the flowers for the ceremony and the peonies for my bouquet. I couldn’t let anyone else do it—it was too fun!

Vincent Oquendo, my incredible makeup artist, worked with warm pink and soft brown tones for the day of the wedding. And for the lip, I wore Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk—a shade I wear almost every single day of my life.

My hairstylist Jhonatan Rendon gave me the Rapunzel waves of my dreams. We didn’t do a trial, I just told him that morning to do his usual thing—and he did!

As a beauty editor, I take fragrance very seriously. I chose Le Labo's Jasmin 17 for the weekend, which the boutique customized with our wedding date. It was perfect.

I remember saying to him in the car, “Should I be nervous right now?” because that’s how calm and happy we were. We laughed the whole way to the restaurant.

In Jewish tradition, upon entering the chuppah, the bride circles her groom seven times, representing the seven days of creation and the seven wedding blessings. I tripped on my dress at the second circle and lost count after the third, but it was so casual and fun that none of it mattered.

We were married underneath my grandfather’s tallis and surrounded by jasmine bushes, which filled the whole restaurant with a sweet and reminiscent scent—my childhood home in Miami has a garden filled with them.

We all sipped rosé champagne and aperol spritz’s during the brunch. The only decorations were a few Urban Stems arrangements which fit seamlessly into the room—it really felt like our living room!

My something borrowed, blue, and old (and sparkly!) were Erstwhile Cheap Replica Handbags’s Deco and Edwardian rings. I loved the idea of wearing pieces from another time.

Since most of our guests didn’t get to attend the actual wedding ceremony, my father-in-law made us reenact it for everyone during his speech. Hilarious!

After dinner, guests grabbed a cup of Gelato and boarded trolleys—we didn’t tell anyone where we were going. It was a total fun surprise!

Our first dance was to "Danny’s Song" by Loggins and Messina. We heard it once years ago and decided it would forever be ours. My grandmother, on the right, was on the dance floor with us until the early hours of the morning!

We lit a bunch of Diptyque candles at the bar to make the space feel (and smell!) like home. A few hours in, we changed into matching custom Nike sneakers that had my new initials (and his) on them—a gift from my BFF!
