“It’s a long-standing tradition in India where parents start making and collecting jewellery for the day their children get married. For Adam we wanted pink, and we custom made an intricate forest-inspired embroidery.” Gautam also wore a cascading raw diamond necklace from his mother. Gautam chose a beige gold sherwani with birds and foliage intricately embroidered in pearls and zardozi.

“We picked out a classic sherwani silhouette, the one that traditionally an Indian groom wears, for both of them to twin. Everyone at the wedding was in constant euphoria of freedom and love,” says Gaurav. “I am fortunate to have dressed these grooms, who define and redefine culture with so much grace and ease. “And so then we did a tasting with them and his Indian food was second to none, so from our little Italian olive grove restaurant came an incredible Indian feast: palak paneer, mughlai gosht…”Īdam wore a custom sherwani (a traditional wedding coat) by Gaurav Gupta, and meaningful heirloom jewellery from Gautam’s family. “Funnily enough, when we went to them, we said, ‘Do you do Indian food?’ And the Italian chef said he spends every winter in India,” Adam remembers. This expertise was particularly evident at the second evening’s event: Bollywood night, held at their favourite Italian restaurant on the island called Can Domingo. Guests were gifted SMR Days Beach bags (a collaboration with Maison Bengal, a woman’s collective in Bangladesh), and many of the fashion crowd wore them immediately cove-side with Margiela mermaid sequins and Johanna Ortiz prints, mingling until sunset.Īdam’s close friend from New York, Nicky Balestrieri of The Gathery, designed all of the events and artwork. And then we served killer pitchers of margaritas,” says Adam.

An unpretentious tapas menu was served, including Jamón Iberico with pan con tomates, Spanish cheeses and cod croquettes. The venue was given an SMR Days “beach Bohemia” overhaul with upcycled fabrics from their first season, creating laid-back blankets and tie-dye cushions. The celebrations started with welcome drinks at Cala Codolar, a cove-side chiringuito. “We wanted to keep the bohemian vibe that Ibiza offers underlying everything we did,” says Gautam. The couple’s moodboard featured a palette of salted pinks and marigold sunsets, bringing together the flats of the Balearics, the French Quarter of New Orleans and Indian architectural stone. Serena Cook’s Deliciously Sorted Ibiza and Johanna Carlson would help the couple manage the entire wedding on the island. You can be as social as you want, because of course we’ve got plenty of friends there,” says Adam. The restaurants are second to none the best day is spent on a long beach-side lunch. Ibiza was a regular destination they both felt connected to: “It’s a big enough island that you can sort of do anything you want, incredible nature, wellness. “We really enjoy spending time in each other’s homes.” “India is super important to us, as is New Orleans,” says Adam. Based in London, the couple wanted their distinct cultures to meet in the Balearics, uniting 150 friends and family somewhere between Bayou and Bombay in spirit. When Adam Shapiro and Gautam Rajani, the co-founders of men’s resort brand SMR Days, decided to get married in Ibiza, it seemed a long way from their respective hometowns of New Orleans and Mumbai, but it chimed with their brand ethos – “effortless menswear for long summer days” – perfectly.
