This Fashion Designer Couple Made Their Own Looks for Their Effortlessly Cool Wedding in San Jose del Cabo
Sid Neigum, designer of the eponymous label Sid Neigum, and Chloe Gordon, designer of Beaufille, met in 2010 through their mutual friend, stylist Dwayne Kennedy. They dated for over a decade before Sid proposed on the balcony of their Toronto condo in July 2022. “Thankfully, she said yes,” Sid says, laughing.
After quickly settling on the location of Los Cabos, where Sid’s family has a home, the two got to work planning their wedding in collaboration with Cabo Beach Weddings. They quickly found that doing so was much like launching a collection—“booking photographers, flights, hotels, sourcing things, and creating our pieces to wear,” Sid says.
Indeed, designing their own outfits was very important to the couple. On Friday, the two threw a welcome boat party with an all-white dress code. Chloe wore a blouse from Sid’s spring 2024 collection and pleated trousers she made herself. Sid, meanwhile, opted for a vintage linen Cavalli blazer passed down from Chloe’s father, along with Levi’s 502s and a pair of Saint Laurent patent leather creepers. Cocktails were served on deck at golden hour, and come nightfall, the boat turned into a full-on dance party.
On Saturday, they wed at Acre Resort in San Jose del Cabo. Chloe walked down the aisle in a floor-length strapless gown made in silk faille with lace detailing. “I wanted the dress to feel and be effortless, but have some subtle details that made it feel special and occasional,” she says. “I used a combination of silk and lace, two of my favorite fabrics to work with.” She also included a nod to Beaufille’s best-selling Baes dress by making a delicate bralette the focal point. “A hint of lace was exposed around the neckline and hem, and the layering of the two fabrics created a subtle texture due to the lightweight quality of the silk, allowing the lace pattern to peek through on the surface of the dress,” Chloe explains. She paired it with a long-sleeved cape, Prada heels, and Beaufille collarbone-length gold drop earrings designed by her sister Parris.
Sid waited for the bride under a jungled expanse of palm trees in an oversize single-breasted suit jacket of his own design. “I wanted something breathable for the hot weather but also structured enough for the peaked lapels and shape,” he says. Underneath, he wore an Issey Miyake origami collar button-up that mimicked a bowtie. He accented it all with a pair of Margiela Tabi loafers.
By the couple’s own admission, their ceremony wasn’t too traditional. “It was more of a modern, secular interpretation of the classic ceremony structure, with an emphasis on personal stories, and acknowledging the moment, and our love,” says Chloe. Dwayne served as their officiate, and a welcome moment of laughter occurred when their six-year-old ring bearer accidentally dropped their bands in the grass. “It caused a bunch of our guests to start looking in the grass for our rings. They were found within a couple of minutes, and it provided the comedic relief that I needed!” Sid says.
Chloe admits that, at the beginning, she felt overwhelmed with emotion. “I didn’t want to cry but it was hard not to. I felt really happy once I saw Sid and all of our friends and family. Once I got up there I felt relieved and excited,” she says. Together they put on their wedding rings, designed by Parris, that included each other’s fingerprints embedded in the metal.
After the ceremony, they held a cocktail hour around the pool where spicy mezcalitas were the drink of choice. Guests then wandered into the mango orchard for dinner, which was served on one long table adorned with sunset-colored candlesticks and hand-painted placements all made by Chloe’s artist mother. They dined on pescado crudo, aguachile ceviche, and wild mushroom risotto as family, friends—and finally, the couple themselves—gave speeches. “Then, we danced until we were politely asked to leave the venue,” Sid says. An after-party continued at the nearby Drift Hotel—and, since the couple had rented out every room, lasted until the sun came up.
Two months later, Chloe and Sid say they feel an overwhelming amount of gratitude to everyone who made their wedding day so memorable. “We’re feeling very excited for the future and this next stage in our lives,” says Chloe.
