“The idea was to transport everyone back to when Buenos Aires was the Paris of Latin America and to experience the Old World feel the country preserves in its historical landmarks.”
dress modelled after her own mother’s. “My intention was to wear my mom’s wedding dress, but when the fit wasn’t right, I did my best to recreate its beauty,” she says. “It is simple, traditional, and elegant just like hers was.” She paired it with her mother’s pearl necklace and a veil with embroidery meant to evoke angel wing feathers. While getting ready, she wore a “Mrs Faena” robe she designed herself for Grace & Roses.
Alan wore a custom outfit by designer Katharine Grace, including a jacket embroidered with a blazing heart symbol with their initials –and a shirt with pearl buttons to match Grace’s pearl necklace. The trousers included a motif of a Cupid’s arrow, while his hat included a feather from a bird native to Punta del Este.
Alan – who is credited with creating “neighbourhoods” around his hotels that often include aesthetically-cohesive theatres, bazaars, and even concert spaces – did all the planning. He envisioned their nuptials as an opera, complete with dramatic cues and ethereal set design: adorning the temple’s arches with green flowers, and scenting the halls with palo santo. Before Grace walked down the mirrored aisle, the temple went dark – and then lit up as she took her first step.
Later that evening, the couple threw a raucous party at the Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, where they lined the hotel’s cathedral with red roses – a nod to the garden where they got engaged – and projected theirinitials on the wall. A “Love Is All” neon sign illuminated the pool, while an eight-foot cake doubled as decoration. “Alan lifted me onto the platform of the cake so I could reach the top to cut the first piece,” Grace says.
