Dumitru and Daria first crossed paths in Kyiv during a brief but memorable encounter with mutual friends. Life took them in different directions—until the world slowed down. Reconnecting during the quiet of the pandemic, their bond grew effortlessly, turning casual chats into something deeper. When Dumitru proposed by a bay in Copenhagen on a quiet winter day, it wasn’t planned to be grand—but it was perfect. That same mix of sincerity and style shaped every part of their wedding day.
Fashion
Daria embodied refined glamour through a series of stunning looks. For the ceremony, she chose an off-shoulder silk gown with delicate draping and a flowing train, paired with a classic veil for a look that felt both timeless and easygoing. Her bridal outfit was completed with a sculptural bouquet of white calla lilies and softly glowing makeup by Venera Bariinova, complemented by an elegant updo.
At the reception, she changed into a structured tea-length dress with a voluminous skirt, evoking vintage charm with a contemporary twist. Later, she stepped into a playful yet sophisticated strapless mini dress adorned with soft feathers, embracing the joy of the celebration.
Each look was complemented by heels from Jimmy Choo and Gianvito Rossi, fine jewelry from Hartmanns and Swarovski, and the delicate scent of Van Cleef & Arpels perfume.
The equally stylish groom wore a perfectly tailored suit, accessorized with Santoni shoes and a YSL belt, exuding classic elegance.
Ceremony
Set against the stately beauty of Castel Mimi, Dumitru and Daria exchanged vows in a ceremony that felt warm, sincere, and quietly grand. Soft white hydrangeas lined the aisle, and as Daria stepped out with her bouquet, the sound of a meaningful song drifted through the air. It was one of those moments that made everyone pause— emotional and completely unforgettable.
One of the sweetest details was their handwritten vows, read from pretty sheets with a small photo of the couple attached. It was simple, thoughtful, and so them.
Just as they were pronounced husband and wife, rose petals floated through the air, adding a joyful, romantic finish that had everyone smiling.
Cocktail Hour
Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests were invited to an elegantly styled cocktail hour. A chic bar offered a curated selection of drinks, while plush slippers were provided for added comfort—a thoughtful touch that reflected the couple’s commitment to the guest experience.
Under the golden hues of the setting sun, friends and family enjoyed exquisite canapés, toasts, and laughter, setting the tone for the night ahead.
Private Moment
Before joining the reception, Dumitru and Daria stole a quiet moment together, taking in the magnitude of their day. Alexander Feyer perfectly documented this pause, which became one of the most cherished moments of the evening. His artistry behind the lens captured their love in its purest form—intimate, unguarded, and quietly beautiful.
Reception & Decor
The reception space at Castel Mimi was transformed into a scene of modern elegance, thanks to the thoughtful design and coordination by Touche Wedding. Long tables draped in neutral linens were adorned with transparent chairs, crystal chandeliers, and lush white florals.
The monochromatic palette emphasized sophistication, creating a harmonious atmosphere where every detail felt intentional. A Polaroid guest book added a sentimental touch, allowing loved ones to leave heartfelt messages alongside captured memories.
The reception flowed into a sequence of beautifully orchestrated moments. As guests settled in, Daria appeared in a structured tea-length gown, embodying vintage charm with a modern edge. The evening began with heartfelt toasts and lively conversation, followed by the couple’s enchanting first dance, a moment of pure romance under the open sky.
As the night progressed, Daria transitioned into a playful feathered mini dress, marking the shift to a more energetic celebration. The cake-cutting ceremony, illuminated by dazzling sparklers, created a breathtaking spectacle. The cake itself perfectly echoed the wedding’s aesthetic—minimalist, elegant, and absolutely beautiful. It was a seamless continuation of the celebration’s style and one of those moments that made the evening feel extra special.
Guests filled the dance floor, reveling in the joyous atmosphere before winding down the night in the warm fire pit glow, toasting marshmallows, and sharing quiet, heartfelt moments to conclude the unforgettable celebration.
Advice from the couple:
• Focus on what truly matters to you and make the day feel personal. Every detail should reflect your story.
• Take your time choosing vendors you trust—especially the organizers, host, photographers, and videographers—because they will handle everything and allow you to relax fully.
• On the wedding day, let go of all worries and completely immerse yourself in every moment of this special celebration.
