Shanina Shaik and DJ Ruckus's Stunning Bahamas Wedding Photos

Congrats are in order for Shanina Shaik and Gregory “DJ Ruckus” Andrews! The couple—she's a model, he's an in-demand DJ—married this past Saturday on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. The pair first met in 2015, when Shanina found herself sans entourage during Coachella. "Just before I was going to leave, Greg noticed that I was alone and came over to speak with me," she recalls. "We had the most wonderful conversation." From that moment on, the bride says, she was sure he was "the one." Greg was sure, too, and they dated for just eight months before he proposed. "When you know, you know," Shanina adds. To propose, Greg planned a tropical Christmas vacation with Shanina and her mother at his family's place in the Bahamas. The day after the holiday, he organized an impromptu beach trip with Shanina and his cousin—or so she thought! Greg's cousin, of course, never showed up, and he instead popped the question in front of the crystal blue waters. And that's not all: Greg proposed with not one but two Lorraine Schwartz rings! "He asked me to choose my favorite ring, and, unfortunately, I could only choose one," she says, with a laugh.

After an engagement like that, it's no surprise that Shanina and Greg decided to marry in the Bahamas as well. In fact, they decided to say "I do" on the exact stretch of sand where they were engaged. "I've always dreamt of marrying on the beach," says the bride, who grew up in Australia. The stunning setting—the Other Side in Eleuthera—became their inspiration for the day, and the couple enlisted the help of Little Island Design to create a tropical-inspired wedding there. "Our wedding reflected our personal style (simple and elegant) with the added touch of a bohemian vibe as well," explains the bride.

The couple invited their friends and family for a weekend's worth of festivities. The events started on Friday night with a rehearsal dinner on a terrace overlooking the beach. Shanina wore a long-sleeved white dress and wedges by Zimmermann for the occasion. The groom wore a bright shirt that match the party's floral arrangements.

For the rehearsal dinner, the couple selected a color palette that complemented the island's natural landscape. Bamboo folding chairs and wicker place mats acted as a neutral base, while arrangements of local flowers added pops of orange and pink to the decor.

After dinner, guests moved over to the beach, where a casual lounge area was set up with tiki torches, lanterns, and low seating arrangements in the sand.

On the big day, the bride got ready with her bridesmaids, including Nicole Williams, Nadine Leopold, Natalie Halcro, Jasmine Tookes, and Olivia Pierson. The women wore matching robes for a photo op and were joined by an additional mini guest: a dog dressed in a tux!

Shanina paired her hexagon-shaped engagement ring with two coordinating bands, all by Lorraine Schwartz. As a wedding-gift, a close friend helped select her bridal shoes. "She took me to Harrods, to the private shopping suite," she says. "After looking at so many amazing options, I decided to go with a stunning pair of Aquazzura shoes." The bride later changed into a second heel—this time by Jimmy Choo—when she slipped into a second dress for dancing.

For her wedding gown, Shanina turned to the husband-and-wife design team at Missy Dress, who helped create her dream dress over the course of eight months. "I wanted it to be simple, bohemian, and elegant," she says. "I love a boho style and I wanted to give it a little twist by incorporating lace." The result? A gorgeous off-the-shoulder creation featuring delicate lace and an increasingly sheer fabric toward the hem.
