“When I saw the Spring 2018 Chanel couture show, I knew it was exactly what I envisioned for our wedding,” said the bride.
The bodice and center of the gown were embellished with soft pastel iridescent pink flowers made up of layers of beads. The front hemline was kept tea-length, and there were more than 190 yards of short pleated optic white tulle and a detachable train that took four months of fittings and travel back and forth from Paris to reach perfection.
“[For my beauty look] I wanted to feel and look like myself, but at my most glamorous, so makeup artist Liz Castellanos and I decided to do peach and natural tones and a timeless, polished cat-eye,” explains the bride. Nina got the idea for her hair after seeing Gigi Hadid’s middle part and sleek waves. “I thought it would be easy to transition this into something pulled back for the shorter veil I was planning on wearing to the masquerade portion of the evening.
When it came time to figure out the flow of the ceremony, there was a lot to consider. Nina is Iranian American—her parents immigrated to the United States in the late ’70s right before the Iranian Revolution. Meanwhile, João is first-generation Brazilian American. He was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro and moved to New York City when he was 15.
During cocktail hour, the couple had portraits taken with family and close friends. While the newlyweds were posing for pics, guests grazed on lamb shanks, caviar and truffle crème fraîche, watermelon gazpacho, and tuna tartlets, while songs by Queen, The Weeknd, Prince, and David Bowie were played on strings.
