“I’m immune compromised, so I take COVID restrictionsreallyseriously. But it’s important to both of us,” Dunham toldVogue.
Despite the obstacles of wedding planning during COVID, Dunham shared: “You know, my girlfriends have had to deal with a lot of not-so-happy things with me in our adulthood, so to be able to celebrate something joyful and use it as an excuse to be together was very special.”
When it came time to choose a wedding dress designer Dunham turned to Scottish-born, London-based designer Christopher Kane, who she collaborated with at the 2019 “Camp”-themed Met Gala. Dunham and Jemima Kirke attended with Kane, wearing latex gloves and minidresses that readRubberistandLooner.
“I knew she loved the ’60s, and she was looking at brides like Sharon Tate, June Carter Cash, and Priscilla Presley. There’s also something about the Holy Communion world, even though she’s Jewish,” Kane told Vogue of collaborating with Dunhamon her dream wedding day looks. “For me, growing up in Scotland, it was a big deal. Your Holy Communion and the perfect little dress. It was so weird that children were dressed up in these bridal outfits. We liked that subversive world. That’s what Lena loves too.”
“Then Christopher was like, ‘You look like you’re either at a first Communion or a Madame Alexander doll,'” Dunham toldVogue.

Dunham also shared that Kane sent a photo of Claudia Schiffer walking in a Versace show to hairstylist Ken O’Rourke and makeup artist Amanda Grossman to reference for her wedding day glam.
“It was a light lip, cat-eye, lots of lashes, and then this bow in her hair. The only thing I truly knew I wanted was to have a bow on top of my head,” the actress said. “I added some Pattie Boyd references from her wedding to George Harrison, and then I added some Sharon Tate references as well. She had the best wedding dress in history.”
As for accessories, Dunham wore Miu Miu kitten heels because she’s “not great” at walking in pumps or platforms. She added a bejeweled “L” pin to her half up, half down hairstyle and carried a Lego soldier that belonged to a friend’s son for her “something borrowed.”
“It’s been a few months. I feel really lucky,” she said at the time, before calling her beau “the greatest person I’ve ever met.”
In June, sheshared a series of photos of the coupleon Instagram in honor of his birthday.
