At Her Beachside Wedding, Model Kamila Hansen Married Under a Chuppah of Garden Roses
Model Kamila Hansen and Official Partners co-founder Oren Alexander’s relationship began the old-fashioned way—with a pickup line. “I was in Las Vegas on a girls’ trip when he approached me [in a hotel lobby] and asked if I was lost,” Kamila remembers of their meeting in 2018. “It was just like that.”
The two began dating soon afterwards, and Oren eventually proposed while they were on vacation in Aspen in August of 2022. “It happened on the balcony of the house we were staying in,” Kamila recalls. “It was very casual, and surprisingly, I had no idea.”
Their wedding took place the following April in Islamorada, Florida, and the couple worked with Blue Water Weddings to plan everything. “It felt like we were putting together the ultimate weekend on an island for our family and closest friends,” Kamila says. “Since the pandemic, our social circle has shrunken, so we knew that we wanted our wedding to be very intimate.” To that end, she and Oren hosted a large engagement party for over 350 people at their home in Miami during Art Basel, which meant they were able to get away with doing something smaller for the actual wedding.
Selecting the wedding dress was a particularly fun part of the process for Kamila, who, throughout her career as a model, has worn many. “I went to Galia Lahav for the first time and picked three different dresses,” she admits. “A week later, I went back and chose a completely different one. I just fell in love with it, and they were able to make it for me in less than a month. Record time! I’m so glad it worked out because I loved the dress and felt it was perfect for my beach wedding.”
The bride kept her jewelry pieces simple and befitting of the al fresco wedding location. She wore a classic diamond necklace, bracelet, and earrings all from Material Good. As for beauty, she worked with Lauren Hen for a sun-kissed look, and also kept her hair down to ensure it felt as natural as possible. “Less is always more,” Kamila says.
The ceremony started just after 6:30 p.m., and the service took place under a jaw-droppingly beautiful chuppah consisting of garden and spray roses, hanging amaranthus, larkspur, snapdragons, frilled lisianthus, and astrantia, all by Petal Productions. First, Oren’s older brother and his 87-year-old grandmother walked down the aisle, followed by his middle brother and his fiancée. Next, his twin brother with his wife and the couple’s niece made their way down the aisle, Oren and his both parents—and lastly, the bride was escorted by her parents, who flew in from Brazil.
