The loveliest morning (and marriage) in a hundred years

Signe and Jamie were married in the Christian church in Vesterbro, where they live and have their day. It is also the church, their daughter was baptized in. At that time they met Mette, who is pastor of the church, which they think is the coolest priest who they really wanted vies of.

Jens slept at the hotel the night of the wedding day to get a quiet night and peaceful morning before it went loose. Signe spent the morning with her daughter, sister and her three best friends, who had stayed with her until her father came and took her in a taxi as they together went to church in. The ceremony started at 11:30.

"To stand and wait behind closed church doors at my father's side and know that all the people I love the most, was ready just inside on the other hand, was the craziest feeling ever. And then of course when the doors opened and everyone's eyes were on me while I was at the end of all the happy, smiling guests saw my future husband with our daughter in her arms. It was the most beautiful moment."

Reception in good weather

Actually dreamed Signe and Jens to hold a reception in their own backyard, but did not dare to bet on the weather. Instead, the reception held in a fine public property belonging to the church. But the weather showed its good side, so guests pulled quickly into the yard of the church. Instead of serving the traditional wedding cake, it was important for them that the visitors to put a good base. Therefore served the sandwich from Lagkagehuset and homemade brownies, which Signes sister and her boyfriend had baked. Of course served with bubbles.

After the reception there was time for that you could go home and get a little rest. You could also go directly to the function rooms and broach the festivities with a welcome drink, Campari or a cold beer and snacks.

Jens and Signe drove from reception to the party premises in a Christiania bike -which the course belongs to when you live in Vesterbro?

Party till dawn

The party was held at the YMCA / Ks rooms at Store Kannikestr?de where you get two floors available. On the second floor there is a large banquet hall where the dinner took place, and the smaller and more intimate lounges on the first floor was a bar and dance floor. The premises are soulful and beautiful, and then you have the freedom to arrange it as you will. The evening before the wedding covered Signe the great feast tables with the help of family and friends.

Celebration dinner was the restaurant FAMO for serving rustic Italian food. The dinner consisted of only six different antipasti served on platters for each table. Next, a primo consisting of risotto with mushrooms, a secondo of roasted pork with seasonal vegetables and finally the dessert of panna cotta with rye bread crunch, licorice and fresh fruit.

After dinner moved all down in the living rooms on the first floor and got coffee, homemade cakes and wreaths Sarah Bernhardt cakes baked by Jens' mother. During the night were served pint of draft beer as well as four different cocktails - and the dance floor was served shots for the partying guests. As the bridal waltz was over, jumped Signe in glitter socks and a pair of white Nike Air Force sneakers so she could dance until dawn - and she did so?

An entertaining element was the photo booth, Signe had borrowed that was a huge hit among the visitors and produced amazing memories to the refrigerator.

Brides look

Signe wanted to avoid spending much money on a wedding dress, she could only wear once.

"The clothes were some of the things we were trying to save a little in the budget. It should of course be clothes of decent quality, but I had no means need to have a dress to 35,000 kr. To feel beautiful. At least we thought much of it could be recycled. Already it is the absolutely absurd how much money you spend on a single day, and I simply could not bring myself to spend SO much money on an outfit, I just had to have on one day "says Signe.

Signe was a once in a classical wedding dress business, but quickly found out that there was something that appealed to her. By contrast, she used Pinterest to find inspiration for the dress, so she had formed a clear picture of how dreams dress should look like; long sleeves, natural waist, high neck, floor-length slit and lace of the modern kind to avoid the traditional wedding dress look. And dreams dress she found on the web shop Net-a-Porter from the brand Self Portrait . Even with the adaptation of tailor-held Signe budget of 5,000 kr. For the wedding dress.

In the morning it was Signes friend of a friend who put her hair and put make-up. All makeup was from MAC . "I would not that my hair had to be for brides-like, but at the same time it should fit with blurred, so it was two sille pin braids behind his head and a high knoll. Customize crude but still fine, I think. My makeup should be natural. I never go with very little makeup on, so it would feel unnatural with a lot of eye shadow, etc.".

Signe was very much in doubt whether she should wear a veil, as she wanted to avoid the classic bride look. If she should wear a veil, it should be her deceased grandmother's old bridal veil. There turned out to be too many holes in the old veil. "My aunt got a friend to transfer the beautiful old embroidery from my grandmother's veil to a new veil, and it was enchanting beautiful. Actually, I tried not blurred on before the morning just before the wedding ceremony, but it was quite obvious to me that the veil completed the look I had dreamed of."

Signes three tips

"The day was exactly as we had dreamed about, but we had also put incredible effort and time in the day. Additionally, we had also chosen a model where we ourselves stood for almost anything, the opposite if you book a hotel or a restaurant in charge of it all. I admit that when I the night before our wedding ran around and covered the tables and ordered our friendly family and friends, short regretted that we had not only booked a restaurant. But since the whole day passed like a dream, and everything was totally us, so it was worth it. But I can clearly see the benefit in a wedding planning, though it can be expensive. Oh so nice if you could have got rid of a bit of the stress that is before such a great day.

My three best advice for others who need to keep wedding is one) Delegate as many tasks to friends and family as possible, 2) Use the money on a good wedding photographer -man will be so glad to whom and 3) If possible , so at least a week's holiday after the wedding. We had no space for it, but we could SO have used. "
