The Finer Details

Affectionately nicknamed “Danish princess meets Rock Star” we designed and planned a wedding weekend reflective of our couple’s Danish and US roots, and shared passion for music; with a strong emphasis on contemporary, minimal and chic styling we incorporated many Danish design elements and traditional Danish wedding traditions, creating an authentically Danish day in a uniquely British setting for their 120 international guests. 

Highlight

Classic London Routemaster double-decker buses transporting guests, unique Danish style floral designs, an incredible giant St Honore wedding cake by elite patissier Cedric Grollet and a traditional end of the night bridal waltz complete with ceremonial ‘cutting of the socks” whilst a surprise bagpiper and confetti canons delighted the guests on the stroke of midnight

“I’m not sure what to do with myself without your emails!!! I really do want to say a proper thank you to you and express the profound gratitude we both have for all you did! It really was the most extraordinary 3 days...All I can say is thank you thank you thank you. You KILLED it!! The whole thing exceeded my wildest expectations”
