Josyane and Asaf’s love story is truly remarkable. They met in Australia, a place they had both dreamed of visiting for years. Asaf, originally from Mexico, instantly connected with Josyane, who has Swiss and Mexican roots. Their bond was so strong that Asaf made the life-changing decision to move to Geneva with Josyane.

For their wedding, they honored their diverse backgrounds and celebrated with Asaf’s loved ones in Mexico, surrounded by family and friends. Years later, they decided to commemorate their wedding anniversary in their hometown in Geneva, creating a magical celebration in a refined and architectural setting. The pale pink, ivory, and light burgundy palette perfectly reflected the season and the city they were celebrating in. This celebration was a testament to the power of love that knows no boundaries.

The entire day was enchanting for the couple as they celebrated their wedding anniversary in one of Geneva’s most prestigious and stunning hotels Hotel Beau Rivage because it has a timeless and elegant ambiance. This hotel has been renowned since 1865 and holds a special significance in both history and the present. The staff at the hotel were warm and accommodating, showing great support for the ideas for capturing memorable photos and videos.

The bride exuded her unique personality through comfortable yet stylish outfits by Laure de Sagazan. Her meticulously crafted wedding dress, adorned with subtle details, impeccably accentuated her figure. As for her makeup and hairstyle by Estelle Mordant, a natural and elegant look perfectly suited Josyane. With her preference for a minimal makeup style, it was the ideal choice to emphasize her inherent beauty for this celebration. The event’s overall aesthetic revolved around delicate elements and neutral colors, making the decision to go for light and natural makeup and hair a seamless fit for the overall vision.

An appointment was booked at the renowned bridal boutique, Ayo Mariage, with an extensive selection of outfits in mind, hoping to find the one that would truly captivate Josyane. However, to their surprise, every outfit showcased her beauty splendidly, making the final decision an arduous task. Fortunately, Katia, who helped to choose the wedding looks, displayed exceptional kindness and hospitality. She graciously permitted them to take their time deliberating, ensuring they could choose the best option. On top of that, Katia went above and beyond by personally accompanying them on the day of the celebrations, ensuring that every detail, including accessories, was perfectly in place. Her unwavering dedication and support made the entire process effortless and memorable.

The couple radiated elegance within the stunning walls of the beautiful hotel. Their grace and style were skillfully captured by the talented photographer Kristina Bastien. With an understanding of the couple’s emotions, Kristina perfectly documented their love, capturing every cherished moment flawlessly.

The exquisite veil by Rebecca Anne added an extra touch of elegance and uniqueness to Josyane’s overall look, making her even more radiant and special on her wedding anniversary day.

The celebration of Josyane and Asaf’s wedding anniversary was intricately designed around the captivating architecture of Geneva and Switzerland. Inspired by the couple’s outgoing personalities, the planner Simplement Nous Events aimed to create a celebration that truly reflected their essence.

The talented photographer, Kristina Bastien, flawlessly captured the enchanting journey through the heart of Geneva. With her mastery of both film photography and digital cameras, Kristina skillfully documented the most precious and breathtaking moments of Josyane and Asaf’s special day. Her remarkable skills brought their love story to life, creating a collection of stunning photographs that will be treasured forever.

Josy wore pants and a top with more details as a second outfit. A wedding top can be elevated and stylish, even if it is coordinated with pants.

To honor their past wedding in Mexico, floral designers Lilas et Rose incorporated a subtle hint of light burgundy in the floral arrangements. This delicate touch added a beautiful and sentimental element to the overall design of the celebration.

When it came to the tablescape and decor, they opted for a carefully curated collection of vintage plates and cutlery to enhance the already breathtaking venue, Hotel Beau Rivage. Natural textures, like linen, complemented the neutral color palette inspired by stone hues, creating an elegant and cohesive table setting.

In contrast to their large wedding in Mexico, this intimate occasion with only the two of them allowed them to truly savor each other’s presence and reaffirm their vows where they chose to settle in. While a grand wedding and celebration are always enjoyable, having the chance to be alone, just the two of them, was incredibly romantic and had been their original vision for their special day.

A captivating wedding anniversary video by The Yelles beautifully incorporated film and Super 8 to perfectly complement Kristina Bastien‘s photography, capturing the essence of the couple’s love for each other.
