身為Harrods、Shiseido、Omorovicza、Christian Louboutin和De Beers等各大精品品牌的創意顧問,Iona Judd的工作,說穿了就是:替人「創造品味及風格」。而當她要為自己籌備今春舉行的婚禮時——某種程度上也是她人生最重要的「高規格任務」——從設計婚禮Logo到客製一座DJ表演台,全都得比照時尚專案等級完成。
「我未婚夫常說,妳到底在幹嘛?這又不是哪個客戶的案子!」Judd 回憶笑說,「但我就說,我們就是客戶啊!」大家原本都以為她會變成怪獸新娘(bridezilla),結果她反而出奇地放鬆:「這大概是我這輩子接過最有趣的一個案子了!」
嚴格上來說,其實Judd和她的丈夫Elliot Mason,早在她考A-level(大學先修課程)的前一個夏天就見過面。那時她正和姐妹淘在伊比薩島度假。「那是個放縱的週末,說真的我幾乎記不得所有細節,更別說有遇到他這件事。」直到七年後,已從聖馬丁藝術學院珠寶設計系畢業、24歲的她,在交友軟體Bumble上與Elliot再度配對。「我發現我們有好多共同朋友,第一次約會選在Bar Termini。他告訴我,我們其實之前參加過同樣的派對,甚至還聊過天——但我一點印象都沒有。」她當時有些尷尬地提前離場,而Elliot則是在「柔性勸說」下才願意赴第二次約會。「誰會想到,幾年後我們竟然真的步入婚姻了?」
求婚地點也頗具戲劇性。那天他們人在蘇格蘭內赫布里底群島(Inner Hebrides)中的偏遠小島「Iona」,那裡以公元806年曾發生的修士屠殺事件而聞名。而這座島,也正好和新娘Iona同名。「當時下著超大的雨,我們兩人全副武裝穿著防水外套。我還強迫Elliot幫我拍一張『Iona站在Iona島』的照片。」她邊跳邊鬧,結果Elliot突然低聲叫了她一聲,她一轉頭就看到他正單膝下跪。
「我當然說好啊!那一刻我感覺靈魂抽離了身體十五秒,那實在是太夢幻、太超現實了。」原本他們希望婚禮能在希臘的伯羅奔尼撒半島(Peloponnese)陽光下舉行,甚至還親自前往卡爾達米利(Kardamyli)勘景,找到一處俯瞰海岸的廢棄圓形劇場作為場地。「那地方超美,但可惜當地的長老們最後否決了這個提案。」她笑著說道。
既然無法在希臘辦婚禮,Iona Judd的任務就變成:把希臘的靈魂帶回英國鄉村。婚禮當天,教堂裡鋪滿矢車菊,呼應愛琴海的湛藍海色;而婚宴地點則選在自家附近、由建築師John Soane設計、其門廊以帕德嫩神殿為靈感的Tendring Hall遺址,場地四周種滿鬱鬱紫與火橘色鳶尾花,像極了希臘夕陽的壯麗色調。婚禮現場細節也充滿小巧思:DJ台做成古希臘愛奧尼柱(Ionic column)形狀,這對新人的綽號「魷魚情侶」也化作婚禮主題之一——從婚卡、教堂旗幟到流程表上都出現了米諾斯風格的魷魚圖騰。而傳統的婚禮蛋糕被換成了提拉米蘇,頂端則裝飾著仿古大理石浮雕的巧克力牌。
在服裝設計上,Judd一開始曾異想天開地想要準備15套禮服,還包括一件超短迷你裙配長斗篷,「但我媽說:妳瘋了嗎?這種不能穿進教堂!」最後她找來密友、造型師Isabel Bonner(2022年時她也當了對方的伴娘)與半訂製服設計師Ellie Misner一同合作,將她對婚紗的夢想轉化為成品。
他們的靈感拼貼板上,有倫敦傳統服飾Pearly Kings and Queens(向她的Mile End成長背景致敬),也有Margiela、Gaultier、McQueen早期的實驗風格。最終作品是——一件閃耀著珍珠光澤的馬甲上衣,以祖母留下的鈕扣與雙親衣物拆下的扣子手工刺繡製成,中間還縫上一枚好友母親曾配戴過的十字吊墜;搭配一件原色羊毛長裙。「這件裙子像是承載著我最珍貴的人的靈魂。」
她的妹妹花了整整45分鐘才將她綁進這件婚紗。當她走入教堂說出「我願意」時,手中捧著母親菜園親手栽種的白鳶尾花,兩枚從Piccadilly Vaults精選的古董鑽戒環繞花莖,她說:「我真的感覺自己像個公主。」新人離開教堂時,一支合唱團為他們演唱改編的 Oasis〈Acquiesce〉,她的丈夫則身穿與父親共同經營的西裝品牌製作的Anthony Sinclair量身西服,開著Aston Martin DB5前往晚宴現場(雖然車子一開始小小拋錨了一下)。晚宴則是一場希臘大餐,配上親友致詞,Judd也換上另一套造型——來自Éliane Vergès的羊毛短褲套裝搭配Henrietta Faire設計的watteau背斗篷,「這套造型很有Saint Laurent的神韻,我當時整個人感覺就像個女神一樣。」
新人的第一支舞,選的是N-Trance的經典舞曲〈Set U Free〉。來賓則依照Judd親自定的dress code:「想像這是Met Gala,但又沒Met Gala那麼正式」各自盛裝出席。在帳篷天花板下垂掛的250顆手工錫箔星星之下,「我整晚都沒離開舞池,跳了整整四個小時,最後被人硬扯下Elliot的肩膀才停下來。」現場點燃了一整罐液態煙霧罐——這用量原本是要撐三天音樂祭,卻在一夜狂歡中用罄。隔天則迎來一場更健康(也更清醒)的續攤活動:名為「魷魚遊戲(The Squid Games)」的趣味競賽日。「我真的很想重辦一次整場婚禮,甚至想要單純當個來賓再參加一次!」她笑說:「你覺得多久後辦誓約更新儀式才不算太快?」
