A year and a half before Dolly Meckler got engaged, her parents called her from the Pucci store at Woodbury Commons Premium Outlet and said, “We found your wedding dress.” Two years later, Meckler walked down the aisle at Temple Emanu-El’s in that very dress—albeit a slightly reimagined and newly tailored version.
“The whole wedding was planned backwards: It was a partnership. Every decision we make is together—even our engagement was planned together,” Meckler tells Vogue of her relationship with her now-husband Jordan Cohen. “I knew exactly when it was going to be, we decided the date together and we decided on the ring together.”
Once the couple settled on a wedding date in May 2024, Meckler and her mom began the journey of finding her wedding dress. After visiting every classic New York City bridal shop and emerging empty-handed, the mother-daughter duo was on the phone with Woodbury Commons. Twenty-four hours and one bus ride later, Meckler was trying on the very same Pucci dress her parents had spotted 18 months prior. “We put it on, and it didn’t even get over my arms—the skirt didn’t close at all—but we could all tell this was the one,” Meckler recalls. “It’s just a really joyous piece. So we said, ‘We’re taking it, and we’ll take the cape too!’”
