This couple melts our hearts. Plus, their wedding is pretty, posh and simply perfect!

Gorgeous Hanna and Corrie wed in Stockholm, Sweden. Their venue of choice was M/S Borgila and their photographers of choice were Isabelle and Emmi-Sabina of 2 Brides Photography.

The couple also picked a chic colour combination of “black and white with splashes of bright purple, pink, orange and blue,” explains Hanna.

Here’s what else we love about this wedding – the brides La Sposa wedding dress, the grooms suit, the colourful bridesmaid dresses, the darling bouquet, the napkin tissue pom poms from Miss Prop Shop, and the fun wedding banners.

Hanna recalls, “The ceremony in general was so emotional. We felt like finally everything we had been fighting to make happen was official and that our love had been strong enough to conquer all obstacles we had previously faced to be at this point in our life. One moment that was very strong was when we saw each other in church. Corrie was crying and we grabbed each others hands to walk the last steps together. At that point we really felt how right this was and how it was truly worth all of our struggles to be here.”

“Corrie’s speech at the dinner was also truly something special. It was so genuine and grateful and full of love and did not leave a dry eye.”

From the Couple:

What made your wedding unique?

“Our wedding was unique due to what it symbolized. Corrie being American and Hanna being Swedish, it has been a struggle to make this relationship happen, since we spent a lot of time apart with great distances between us. This wedding truly was a manifestation of love, as all weddings are, but we think the love and happiness that surrounded our wedding was really something extraordinary. We had so many people coming from all parts of the world to share this day with us, which truly set the international and loving spirit of our wedding.”

Did you DIY any details?

“We made copies of Hanna’s parent’s placement cards that was used at their wedding 26 years ago {yes, they are still married} and used them again at our reception.

We also made a sign for the church entrance in black and white and colourful ribbons that stated ‘Once in your lifetime you meet someone who changes everything’, which exactly describes our story. Corrie left his life in sunny California to come and live with Hanna in Sweden with all the difficulties and joy that brought.”

What was your biggest challenge?

“The biggest challenge was planning it while being in different countries. Hanna was in London for much of the time before the wedding doing her masters while Corrie was in Sweden. Besides that the biggest challenge was making sure that everyone understood what was happening during the ceremony and reception since we were using both Swedish and English as well as Swedish and American traditions.”

What’s your advice?

“Enjoy the day, feel the love you share and the love from everyone who are there to share your day. Live every moment of it.”

Cheers to the happy couple and thank you for sharing your pretty wedding pictures with One Stylish Bride.

The combination of yellow and grey is just so sophisticated. We think it’s definitely a winner.

The fabulous thing about yellow and grey hues is that they can be easily incorporated into everything wedding related, from your wedding ensemble to your reception décor.

But we’re certainly not the only ones loving yellow and grey. The colour combination has even caught the attention of bridal designers like Vera Wang, who now design wedding dresses in these hues. That’s not all – the options for bridesmaids and groomsmen are just as varied as they are delightful, and easily adapted to everyone’s taste.

Whether you choose a wedding gown of grey, yellow, or white, there are plenty of options for working shades of yellow and grey into your personal bridal look. Think jewellery, an accent sash, the right floral touch in your hair or bouquet – these are all easy and fun ways to accessorize your look.

So what shades should you use? We love the idea of pairing a pale buttery yellow with a charcoal contrast. But, we’re just as enthusiastic over pairing a bright or pale yellow with lighter greys, pewters, and grey-blues.

This colour combination is one wedding inspiration that remains trendy, season after season.

The company name ‘Turtle Love Company’ says it all, even in acronym. TLC – get it!

We recently discovered Turtle Love Company and we have to say that we were instantly smitten. They’re a mindful retailer of artisan jewellery, with all pieces designed by independent artists and handcrafted in ways that are attentive towards our planet and its people. We love that this company puts TLC (tender loving care) into everything they do!

We know that when the majority of people think of engagement rings and wedding bands that they don’t normally think of artisan-crafted jewellery. Yet, Turtle Love Company offers a wide range of casual handcrafted rings and jewellery, all beautiful and unique, their engagement and wedding rings might just surprise you.

Here are a few of our favourites:

River Rocks Diamond Ring – Handcrafted by Adel Chefridi, the Unity Diamond Wedding Ring is made of satin finish 18k gold set with multiple 3.5mm diamonds. Each diamond dazzles on its own from its perch in solid gold, but together they form a complete and balanced whole celebrating the beauty of a harmonious union.

Synergy Diamond Ring – The playing of two different musical themes often creates something more meaningful and powerful than just the melodies: a song. The Synergy Diamond Ring by Laura Serrafero symbolizes the union that is greater, through the bond of love, than the sum of its individual parts. This uncomplicated yet elegant ring is handcrafted using 14k satin-finish gold and a conflict free 2mm diamond.

Sapphire Stackable Engagement Rings – These heavenly engagement rings are crafted with satin-finish 18k gold by Adel Chefridi. The 4mm blue sapphire, exquisite in depth and brilliance, is bezel-set atop a 3mm band, and is made to stack with the Pink Sapphire Engagement Ring.

Dryad Three Black Diamond Engagement Ring – The Dryad Three Black Diamond Engagement Ring is made using recycled sterling silver and conflict-free diamonds, and it is handcrafted by Heather Perry. The three black diamonds shine out from the band like windows into the spirit of a tree, and the marked band reflects the beautiful imperfection of the natural world.

Delicate Nest Diamond Engagement Ring Set – This gorgeous engagement ring is handcafted by Michele Scholnick. The 5.5mm sterling silver “nest” cups a 1.75mm conflict-free diamond. The precious metal, gleaming with a delicate brushed finish, gorgeously compliments the brilliant sparkle of the SI2 quality, GH colour diamond.

Gold Diamond Wedding Band- This sublime diamond band is crafted by Adel Chefridi. The lush satin-finish 18k gold is a beautiful background for the bright diamonds, arranged in a geometrical pattern around the 3mm band.
