For her big day, the record producer chose a custom Danielle Frankel tulle gown with a bubble hem and strapless neckline, which she accessorized with dainty family heirloom jewelry.
Regarding her outfit choice, she told Vogue, “I had long admired Danielle’s modern, but slightly twisted take on a classic wedding dress, and I knew I wanted to reach out to see if she would be interested in working with me on a custom dress.”
“From our first meeting, Danielle immediately understood my vision: ethereal, modern, chic, and timeless with a twist,” Ejae added.

Ejae said Sam Kim ‘made me feel grounded’
After winning the Best Original Song at the 98th Academy Awards for ‘Golden,’ she told PEOPLE in April, “I was telling him the other day, crying, I don't think I could have gone through this without him [Kim]. I'm so grateful to him because this is not easy and he made me feel grounded.”
At the time, the songwriter also shared her excitement for her wedding.
“I’m so freaking excited. I mean, I already said, ‘I do.’ I have said, ‘I do.’ We’re essentially married, but I just really want that right now. I’ll just be like, ‘Where's my husband?’ It’s crazy because my life changed. He’s literally my home,” Ejae added.
