The next day, they wed in a meadow on the grounds of The Break Estate. The groom wore a Yohji Yamamoto suit and the bride wore custom Christopher John Rogers.
“From the very beginning, I knew I wanted my dear friend Christopher John Rogers to design my wedding dress,” Naomi says. “I thought I wanted something as simple as a slip dress. But Chris presented about 10 sketches, from sleek slips to dramatic gowns.” She ended up choosing a design with a corset and a draped silk skirt, which she describes as “a perfect marriage of my personal style and Chris’s signature artistry.”
Naomi’s eldest nephew, Julien, walked her down the aisle while a saxophonist played “By Your Side” by Sade. “My mother passed while listening to Sade, and my father while listening to jazz, so walking down the aisle to that song on saxophone was my quiet way of honoring them both,” Naomi says.
“She didn’t even make it to the starting point where she would begin her walk from, and the tears started to pour,” Anthony says of seeing the bride for the first time. “The joy of seeing your soon-to-be life partner elegantly float towards you is an experience and memory that I’ll never forget.”
For the reception, Naomi changed into a custom crochet dress by Rachel Scott of Diotima. “I wanted something playful, glamorous, and perfect for dancing,” she says. “Rachel and I draped the crochet directly on my body, experimenting with shapes until we landed on a silhouette inspired by her spring 2025 collection. We made a few modifications: a higher slit, more coverage up top, and rhinestone embellishments for sparkle.”
After some hyped-up introductions from their wedding party, Naomi and Anthony had their first dance to Liv.e’s “She’s My Brand New Crush,” performed by the artist herself. Once the party started, it never stopped: the couple blasted Konpa music throughout the tent and handed out Haitian flags, a nod to Naomi’s family heritage. The couple only took a break to enjoy a slice of their fruit-packed mille-feuille cake.
Then, they all moved into the estate’s Symphony Room, which the couple had turned into a nightclub. “We made our grand re-entrance from the balcony, tossing the bouquet from above before hitting the dance floor. Guests partied all night,” says Naomi. She then made her final change of the night—a vintage John Galliano dress from Tab Vintage.
A month later, when cornered by this Vogue writer in the office, Naomi had the following to say about her wedding: “I’m just so happy with how everything came together. No complaints. I just want to do it all over again.”
