Bella and Lars celebrated their wedding in style with an astonishing view of Lake Starnberg, Germany. When the couple embarked on planning their wedding, they knew they wanted a style that would stand the test of time and exude an air of sophistication and elegance. They sought a timeless aesthetic to create lasting memories for themselves and their guests. To achieve this, they carefully picked Sonja and The Wedding Company, which helped to bring their vision to life. With a mix of blush pink and gold hues, this wedding truly feels like a rose-colored dream!
As the day began, Bella and her bridesmaids gathered together to get ready. Laughter and joy filled the room as they shared stories and prepared for the special occasion. These simple yet heartfelt moments made the experience even more meaningful and memorable for everyone involved.
The wedding stationery from Pixel and Ink London, from the invitations to the place cards, featured timeless designs with intricate calligraphy and high-quality materials. These elegant touches set the tone for the entire event and showcased the couple’s commitment to creating a wedding that exuded class and style.
The bride and groom’s attire were carefully chosen to reflect the chosen wedding style. Bella brought her custom-designed wedding gown to the Elie Saab Bridal boutique in Paris. The dream dress out of handmade lace was just the perfect match for her big day.
The groom donned a tailored beige tuxedo with fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their ensembles perfectly complemented each other and added to the overall sense of style and luxury.
The Starnbergsee Hideaway was a perfect choice for Bella and Lars to celebrate their wedding amidst natural beauty and tranquility. The location is a picturesque wedding venue located near Munich, offering a serene and nature-filled setting. With stunning views of Lake Starnberg, it provides a relaxed atmosphere and a taste of British lifestyle in the 5-lake region.
The venue was selected for its grandeur and architectural beauty.
The wedding design was mainly inspired by the couple’s story, the romantic feel of the lake, the venue, its beautiful surroundings, and the intricate details of Bella’s Elie Saab wedding gown. The lovebirds opted for subtle, feminine, and effortlessly romantic styling with a mix of classic and modern influences running through the overall design to evoke feelings of opulence and intimacy.
As Bella loved the idea of a flowing walking down the aisle moment, The Wedding Company organized angels, who accompanied Bella down the aisle and welcomed all guests with a soft and elegant touch.
Because of the COVID restrictions, the bride’s family from Indonesia and Singapore couldn’t be physically present. As a result, the entire ceremony was broadcasted live on YouTube, enabling all her family and friends to be part of this significant moment with her.
The wedding day’s dress code matched the wedding concept – hence the guests were wearing soft pastel colors, which was a perfect match for the entire scenario.
Zhenya Swan, the chosen photographer to capture Bella and Lars’ wedding, is a true artist behind the lens. With a keen eye for capturing the essence of love and genuine moments, she ensured that every image tells a unique story. Her passion for her craft and dedication to her clients make her the perfect choice to preserve the precious memories of Bella and Lars’ wedding day. With Zhenya Swan as their photographer, they were confident that every cherished moment would be captured with grace and artistry.
The Wedding Company made a vast room transformation with a setup phase of 3 days to make this venue look like a dream. The couple envisioned a space to transport their guests to an era of opulence and grace. The chandeliers and exquisite details perfectly complemented the desired ambiance. Crystal vases and candlelight added a touch of glamour to the tables, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and elegance. The reception was both classic and refined, embodying a sense of luxury and style.
The color palette was thoughtfully selected to elevate the overall feeling of luxury and eternal charm. Luxurious blush pink and gleaming gold were artfully woven into every detail of the wedding decor, infusing it with depth and abundance.
Bella and Lars share a deep passion for Salsa dancing, so The Wedding Company arranged an incredible show featuring a highly skilled Salsa dancer couple from South Germany. The performance was a huge hit, captivating everyone in attendance. Toward the end of the show, Bella and Lars couldn’t resist joining the dancers, creating an unforgettable moment that brought joy and excitement to all. It was truly a blast that will be cherished in their hearts forever.
The wedding cake was a stunning masterpiece, adorned with a personalized golden hand-painted logo skillfully crafted by Pixel & Ink London. This unique logo design was artfully incorporated into various elements of the wedding day, from the exquisite gold foil invitations and on-the-day stationery to elegant bar cart.
Each piece beautifully echoed the couple’s custom crest, creating a royal and elegant atmosphere. The cake, in particular, stood out as an actual work of art, featuring handmade sugar paste designs meticulously brought to life by the renowned European cake designer Alma Pasteles. The result was a breathtaking display that exuded regal charm and golden splendor, making it a memorable centerpiece of the celebration.
