Sanyu & Sebastian
Romantic summer wedding celebration in Stockholm city
When Sanyu and Sebastian contacted us, their wedding was half-planned and the Covid-19 restriction had just been announced as prolonged. It meant they needed help to change their original ideas and receive help in finalising the whole day.
We instantly began the planning! Instead of cutting off 30+ people from the guest total when the indoor venue restrictions were held at maximum 50 people, we came up with the idea of adding a part to their wedding celebration: the picnic mingle.
What a success it was.
The Wedding Day
Sanyu got ready with her bridesmaids at Stallmästaregården and they could fully enjoy some time together. The ceremony took place at the stunning landmark church at Odenplan: Gustav Vasa kyrka. Normally allowing far over hundreds of people, it almost felt empty when only fifty were seated. But the love between Sanyu & Sebastian quickly filled the air. After the ceremony, buses transported the guests plus some to Djurgården where a picnic had been arranged.
M Creperie were there with their delicious canapés and finger foods, as well as their famous crepes. Midway through the picnic, the cakes were delivered and the cake cutting became a big moment as it started off the East African traditions connecting to the bride’s Ugandan heritage.
After the picnic, the couple and a selected 46 of their guests continued the celebrations at 7A Strandvägen with dinner and dancing.
Style
It was important to Sanyu & Sebastian to have a classically romantic wedding that included green, white and pink in different hues. We incorporated the colours in almost every aspect from flowers and the cake to the cushions at the picnic.
Kind words from Sanyu & Sebastian
“It was such a relief when we realised we needed a wedding coordinator, and even more so when we met K, an incredibly positive and wonderful person who truly loves weddings. K helped us with everything, from mood boards to planning different options during a challenging time with restrictions. K organised a perfect solution, blending outdoor and indoor elements. The picnic turned out beautifully, and K went above and beyond to ensure we had a magical day. The only regret is not bringing her on earlier in the planning process!”
