Anna Bormuth took her time for her wedding day – for choosing the dress, for finding the right jewelry, and for deciding how she wanted to feel on that day. In this interview, she talks about this journey, about choosing the Big Pearl earrings, and about what she remembers most from that day.
When did you start thinking about what you wanted to wear on your wedding day?
It actually only became really concrete after the engagement, especially when my bridesmaids said we absolutely had to go now because wedding dresses are ordered so early. Before that, of course, I always saw beautiful dresses, but only then did inspiration become a real plan.
What was the experience of looking for a dress like – and was it as you imagined?
I never thought that looking for a dress would be so special. I actually wanted to approach it in a very uncomplicated way and not make a big deal out of it, but my bridesmaids lovingly made it an unforgettable day.
Did you have a clear idea of your style from the beginning, or did it develop along the way?
I was sure I would wear a very simple, minimalist dress. In the end, it turned out to be the exact opposite.
How did you know it was the right dress?
With all the other dresses, I knew immediately: this isn't it. With this one, I simply felt comfortable, and that was the clearest sign for me.
How would you describe yourself as a bride – and did wedding planning change your perception of it?
I heard from many service providers that I was probably a relaxed bride. Perhaps because my husband and I planned the wedding together, and it always felt like our shared project. He may have even organized more, which allowed me to be a relaxed bride.
What was the most underestimated part of putting the whole look together?
How many small details come together in the end. Not just the dress, jewelry, and shoes – but also that the bride and groom, the location, and the entire atmosphere harmonize.
The dress usually comes first. What truly completed your look in the end?
The veil completed the look for me. And once that was decided, the accessories, especially the choice of jewelry, made up the really beautiful part of the styling journey. That was the most fun.
Was there a particular piece, a piece of jewelry, or an accessory that changed the entire picture?
For me personally: definitely the earrings. Despite the glamorous dress, they gave the look something modern and edgy, and that made me feel like myself.
How would you describe your wedding style in a few words?
Urban and elegant, perhaps with a touch of vintage.
What do you most want to remember about how you felt and looked on that day?
Most of all, I want to remember that feeling of being surrounded by so many people who love us, to whom we are so important. Who went out of their way just to celebrate with us, who gave us their time and experienced this day with us. That touched me incredibly, and I have rarely felt so loved and supported.
