The Bride Wore Alexander Wang—and 5 Other Looks—at This “Island Formal” Wedding at The Rockhouse in Jamaica

“My first memory of Lauren was at summer school before my sophomore year of high school in San Francisco,” director David Laven remembers of his now-wife, creative producer Lauren Levinger. “I’d bounced around a few schools at that point and was catching up on credits when she stepped on campus for her freshman year orientation.

The couple had visited Jamaica when they looked for a venue the first time around, and immediately fallen in love with The Rockhouse, a hotel tucked away on a cliffside in Negril with access to the most pristine water. “From the food to the people to the overall vibe, it was just sort of a magical experience where I felt our love was really nurtured by the environment,” David says. “Our love is at its best when we’re in Jamaica, it just is—I don’t know how else to explain it.

From the start, Alex had a clear vision for how to put his spin on the Carolyn reference. He wanted a clean silhouette, but one with structure, so he created an inner corset bodice. Then came the sleeves. “We went back and forth on this a lot,” Lauren says. “We both loved the idea of a long sleeve gown, but were battling the humid Jamaican weather. At one point, we were going to make the sleeves detachable, but we decided in the end to just go for it.

“Before I knew it, Lauren was walking out from amongst the trees with her father to ‘You & Me’ by Penny & The Quarter,” David says. “I was waterworks all the way.” To honor David’s Indian heritage, they performed Saat Phere, otherwise known as the Seven Rounds, a northern Indian Hindu tradition. The seven rounds are performed around a fire—or candle, in this case—symbolizing the energy of the sun god, Lord Vishnu.
