A Magical Miami Wedding Filled With Fun And Fantastic Florals
For their #NicoleConqueredTheSumit wedding, they wanted to celebrate their different backgrounds. They chose Vizcaya Museum And Gardens in Miami as their venue, since it was a good meeting point for guests flying in from India, Puerto Rico, Mexico, the U.K., and other places.
After dating for five years (some of that long distance between San Francisco and New York), he got down on one knee during a summer picnic at the Montauk Lighthouse.
To find her outfit, Nicole took a trip to India with Sumit’s mother, sisters, and her mom. “After taking a walk in the Delhi Emporio Mall, I quickly realized that Anita Dongre was the right designer for me. She is known for her gota-patti work—a traditional Rajasthani embroidery technique that’s been popular since the Mughal era and uses small pieces of ribbon made from fine gold and silver threads. Her designs are inspired by Rajasthan—the area of India where Sumit’s family is from,” the bride says. For Saturday’s ceremony, Nicole knew she wanted to wear something light-weight and romantic. Mark Ingram Atelier was having a Mira Zwillinger trunk show the day she visited, and a strapless, hand-beaded, A-line tulle gown immediately caught her eye. “It was simple yet had just enough hand-stitched details to make it feel special. I grew up figure skating through college, and this reminded me of that aesthetic,” the bride says. For the after-party, she bought a Johanna Ortiz one-shoulder ruffled dress on sale and paired it with a Magic Midnight traditional Colombian headpiece.
