Tell Us Your Love Story

How did you meet?

Ulf and I have known each other since we were in school. It wasn’t until 5 years after we ha left school that we met again and got to know each other in Frankfurt. We’ve been together for 6 years now.

How did he put a ring on it?

We were on a Santorini getaway, and Ulf proposed while we were on a beautiful boat trip. It was a wonderful and intimate proposal, and afterwards, we had five days together on the island to enjoy our engagement just the two of us.

Where did you draw inspiration from?

We knew immediately that we wanted to get married at Villa Rothschild, so planning became very simple. Our wedding was a true reflection of us and complimented the beautiful venue.

What made the wedding personal to you?

Having our loved ones there was incredibly personal to us. We also really put a lot of effort into selecting food and drinks that we love. So, our drinks menu was very personsonalized and we had drinks named after us, and our dogs. One special touch was that we served the same champagne that we had at my bachelorette party.

What were you most nervous or excited about?

I was equally nervous and excited for the moment when my dad led me to Ulf and he saw me for the first time in my wedding dress. The way Ulf looked at me was truly amazing.

Now, the most important part – the Dress!

Tell us about your dress?

I knew very quickly that GILES was going to be my wedding dress. It was simple yet exciting at the same time. I put on the dress and knew it was for me. It suited me so well. Plus, I loved the long train, the EASTON sleeves and the detachable MONTGOMERY skirt.

What stockist did you get it from?

You Are Main, Frankfurt

What was your most memorable moment from your day?

It’s honestly so hard to pick! The whole day was truly so special. The feeling of finally being married is definitely incredibly beautiful, and we’re still loving the feeling of being newlyweds.
