This Is the Vogue Way to Do a Safari Wedding

For Kyly Zakheim and Ryan Rabin, the latest couple to get the Vogue wedding treatment, South Africa was a special place to hold their ceremony for a couple of reasons. Not only was the groom from South Africa, but that’s also where he proposed to Zakheim, while on a safari trip to Kruger National Park. 

As for the dress, Zakheim told Vogue that she chose the Vera Wang number on her second appointment with the brand. “I had no idea what I wanted to wear—I just knew I wanted to feel natural, complement the environment, and be comfortable, as I knew I would be walking through some tricky terrain,” she told Vogue. “And most important, it needed to travel well! The Ines dress was simple yet dynamic, with a plunging neckline, very low back, and interesting lace webbing.”

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
