When did you start thinking about what you wanted to wear on your wedding day?
Pretty much right after the proposal. The look was super important to me — and most of all, that it suited me.
What was the experience of looking for a dress — and was it what you imagined?
I found my dress quite quickly because I had a clear picture in my head. It was great to see that it looked in real life just as I had wished and hoped for.
Did you have a clear idea of your style from the beginning, or did it evolve along the way?
I know my taste pretty well — mostly timeless and elegant. That was always the vision for the wedding too.
How did you know it was the right dress?
By the feeling that you feel beautiful and comfortable. Simply like yourself — but very special.
How would you describe yourself as a bride — and did the wedding planning change your perception of it?
I think I was a relaxed bride, but also with certain expectations. Since I come from the industry, I know the right service providers and didn't worry at all that it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted.
What was the most underestimated part of putting the whole look together?
Finding the right veil. I had a specific lace in mind, and it's hard to get in Germany.
The dress usually comes first. What truly completed your look in the end?
Actually, the perfect earrings, which perfectly matched our color concept.
Was there a specific piece that changed the entire look?
After the ceremony, I swapped the veil for a scarf — that changed the look from classic to modern.
How would you describe your wedding style in a few words?
Romantic & modern, with a great deal of attention to detail.
What do you most want to remember about it?
I don't usually like being the center of attention, but on that day, I didn't mind it at all and I loved it. You feel very loved by everyone and only receive beautiful words. I'll take that with me and hopefully always remember it.
