British Vogue Editor's Pink Wedding Dress and Heirloom Jewelry Nodded to Her Bengali Roots
A British Vogue editor married her husband Conor at a south London registry office with 30 guests, followed by a reception at the Camberwell Arms. She wore a pink silk Alaïa slip dress, strappy gold Reformation sandals, and heirloom jewelry: gold jhumka earrings from her great-grandmother and gold bangles from her grandmother. The hot pink hue, called "rani color" (meaning "queen" in Bengali), was chosen to bridge her British and Indian identity. Born in Kolkata and raised in London, she wanted a look that felt neither fully traditional Indian nor entirely Western. Her husband wore a sage green suit. The couple met on Hinge and had their first date at the National Theatre. They live in Bermondsey and frequent local spots like Borough Market, the BFI bar, and the Horniman Museum. The wedding was documented by photographer Hal Sear.
