love letters, wooden crates & wine

image via Le Love via unefille1 For their wedding ceremony Cori & Z of hat & feathers created a wonderful version of an old tradition:

"We put a bottle of wine, two glasses, & a set of love letters (written in secret & unshared) into a wooden crate and then sealed it with nails (each nail was hammered by a family member to show their commitment to supporting our marriage & then finally by us). The crate is meant as an act of reassurance, a romantic gesture--if ever our relationship is in peril, we are to open the crate, drink the wine, & read the letters before we make any decisions about our future."

Oh yeah, I love it!

Cheep and cheerful: Handmade save the dates

The same crafty Lady, Emma, that I have just introduced to you in my last post, is getting married soon and designed her own rad invitations. Liv loves them. Cheap and cheerful!

questions, pictures, and one day: the beach !

Liv often gets questions about her own one-day-wedding-of-her-dreams: What kind of dress I would wear, what location I would choose.... most of the time followed by something like "I am sure you must have thought a lot about it." To be honest: No! I haven't. I am not that kinda gal ; ) A friend once said at a party: "If I should get married I want a f*cking flamingo on my head." - Interesting.

Alright I don't want to disappoint you, so: I always had the dream to live in a city by the ocean one day, so I think I would really love to get married at the beach. Perfect would be a beach (because of the amazing spirit) and city rooftop (for the incredible party) combination.

Liv is (as far as it looks like right now) not getting married in the nearer future. If I should get engaged one day there will still be plenty of time to figure it out, depending on the situation, budget, partner, and place I will be living.

(And maybe-baby there is still a picture in my head...)

What about you?

oh la la Berlin Wedding

Liv recently interviewed Anne-Laure and Axel about their really cool and off beat Berlin wedding. They are living in Berlin and Paris (what a great combination by the way!) but what made this wedding so special and unforgettable was that absolutely everyone had an unforgettable time. I really love the locations they picked: The old swimming pool, filled with balloons is such a stylish yet playful dancefloor.

The small russian cafe KVARTIRA they had their (homemade!) lunch buffet in after the ceremony, is just so laid back and totally not over the top. I like the urban street cafe atmosphere they have created.

When I asked them about their favorite moments of the wedding HE answered THE PLANNING (hear that everyone? Planning is not only stressful, it can be the most fun part of your wedding) He compared the wedding planning to event and party planning he did before and liked it that much that he even would like to help other couples with their planning.

He added, the best moments were after the ceremony when they looked at each other with the “woohooo now were married" looks. And thats also what she said: walking out of the townhall, next to each other knowing that your now married, that was the best moment ever. Suuronuded by all loved ones together to help celebrate this special moment with them was a wonderful experience they are very thankful of. They only invited their dearest friends and closest family members. The invitations were designed by the couple themselves they created a contemporary poster, with an engagement photo, nice love song quotes and of course the details for their wedding. And also a rad idea to cut the costs. It was important to them to plan everything their own and personal way, no matter if its traditional or not. Their one rule was: Nothing kitschy.

Asking Anne-Laure about her great bride style she said she put kind of randomly together! Her mum found the Georges Rech jacket in a design outlet, she got the Max Azria dress through a friend at a special price and loved it immediately, her golden flats are from a little boutique in her neighbourhood. Axels suit is by BOSS.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! And thanks for sharing everything with us.
