Meanwhile, the groom wore Ferragamo to say “I do.” Cody worked with Elkin to craft a chocolate brown tuxedo by the design house. He paired the look with Ferragamo shoes, Platt Boutique accessories, and Oliver Peoples sunglasses. As for the bridal party? “They’re all wearing black for a little bit of witchy-gothic romance by De La Vali and Shona Joy,” says Emma.
The final jewelry pieces for the bride and groom—their Tiffany & Co. wedding bands—were purchased at the very last minute. “We kept putting it off and putting it off until finally it was the week before the wedding,” Emma recalls. “It happened to be my only day off and the hottest day in New York. We literally walked to Tiffany, and I was like, ‘We’re in shorts. We don’t have an appointment. We’re getting married in a week. What are we thinking just showing up here?’ We were definitely the least chic people getting a wedding band at Tiffany that day.’” Regardless, the staff welcomed them and helped each of them find perfect bands. Emma originally planned to go without a band, as she didn’t think she could find something to fit with her vintage ring. “They were like, ‘We have something perfect—an Elsa Peretti that’ll hug the shape of your ring,’ and I was like, ‘Of course you do. You’re Tiffany.’” While the groom originally intended to choose a platinum band, he ended up selecting one in gold. “I was secretly excited that we both had gold,” says Emma. “I think it feels so vintage and classic and timeless.”
The wedding weekend finally arrived and the couple, along with their friends and family, settled into Sun Valley for the festivities. “We had a beautiful rehearsal dinner at The Kneadery, where there were incredible toasts made by some groomsmen and bridesmaids,” recalls Emma of the first night. “We did name plates stamped on copper fish that I thought was a sweet touch, with a ruffle napkin for fun.”
The welcome took place at Roundhouse, a restaurant atop a mountain with sweeping views of Sun Valley. “All of the guests took a gondola up to the top,” shares Emma. “I rode up with Cody, my mom, and my son Rhodes, which was such a nice moment of calm before stepping into the party.” The couple describes it as the perfect kickoff for the weekend. “Everyone left with a L.L. Bean goodie bag customized with ‘hitched’ on the side with a Wythe custom hat inside,” says the bride. “It was so fun to see people sporting both the rest of the weekend. Some even at the wedding!” The goodie bags also included a deck of playing cards and Larchwood Huckleberry Caramels for a local touch.
As the big day finally arrived, guests gathered to watch the bride and groom exchange vows with a flowing creek and organic floral arrangements by Bloom Theory as their backdrop. “The wedding literally felt like it was out of a book,” says Emma. “Our favorite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany’s, so I walked down the aisle to an instrumental of ‘Moon River.’” Cody’s brother-in-law Luke officiated the wedding with a “short, sweet, and from the heart” speech. “He absolutely killed it,” says his new sister-in-law. The couple also shared vows they wrote themselves before saying “I do.” Emma adds, “We didn’t read our vows ahead of time, and yet there was overlap which I thought was really beautiful. It made the ceremony feel really unique to us.”
