When Aviva Mehta married Daniel Han at Montauk Yacht Club on May 15, 2026, her wedding wardrobe became a meeting point for two cultures, generations of family heirlooms and some of India’s most celebrated designers. The Mumbai-born bride and her Maryland-raised groom brought together Korean wedding traditions, Indian couture and deeply personal details for their waterfront celebrations in New York.

The festivities began with a traditional Korean paebaek ceremony , where the couple bowed to their elders, served them tea and received blessings and advice from both families. Aviva wore an ivory, pearl-white and dusty-blush bridal hanbok with heirloom jewellery, while Daniel chose a look by The Hanbok that had recently debuted at New York Fashion Week. For the rehearsal dinner, Aviva embraced vintage fashion in an archival heavyweight-silk dress sourced from Isle of Monday. She paired the look with green emerald earrings from Amaris Jewels and René Caovilla shoes. But it was her jewellery that added the most sentimental touch. As per Vogue India, she wore her dadi’s necklace for the rehearsal dinner and her nani’s diamond necklace for the vows ceremony. The sculptural creation was worn exactly as it appeared on the runway. The choice of flower was no coincidence. Jasmine was Aviva’s nani’s favourite flower. When she realised her grandmother would not be well enough to travel to the US for the wedding, she wanted to find a way to keep her presence close.
For her reception look, Aviva changed into Look 15 from Gaurav Gupta ’s Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection, a dramatic silk-chiffon and tulle gown covered in thousands of handcrafted mogra tassels.
