When you blend blush and lavender with the coastal views of Switzerland, two words come to mind: uber romance. And maybe alll the other adjectives that I could overuse on this wedding, like lovely, dreamy and charming. But those words aren’t needed because every bit planned by Laura Dova Weddings is waiting right here for you in the gallery by Oliver Fly.

From Laura Dova Weddings… It was a true delight for me to be able to assist Sachié & Karl with their wedding in the beautiful region of the Lavaux in Switzerland. it is in this unique region of the world, whose terraced vineyards are classified as World Heritage by the UNESCO, they decided to invite their families from Japan, Estonia and Switzerland for an intimate celebration.

From the very beginning Sachié was particularly concerned with the style aspects of their big day and really made it clear that she wanted amazing vendors even if they had to travel to get to their wedding location. That’s how an amazing team came up to offer them an unforgettable day. They fell in love with the beautiful Musée de Buttin-de-Loes where the view on the lake is absolutely breath taking and the fabulous summer day let them have a moving and romantic ceremony officiated by the talented Marylin Rebelo.

They wanted a simple but very meaningful celebration with their closest family and friends. A ceremony fulfilled with tenderness and seemliness, where they could express their feelings subtly, in regards to their different cultures. They showed us that love is stronger than anything and can conquer it all, even when living on opposite sides of the planet. A message of hope and magic.

To enhance the beauty of all of these feelings, a harpist and flautist played masterpieces from Pachelbel to Bach. Pure delicacy as the we all could feel a nice breeze through our hair while hearing this timeless music. I have rarely seen such a proud man when looking at his bride-to-be when she walked down the aisle in a very intense atmosphere.

Sachié had two different bouquets in the colors and flowers she was drawn to. For her wedding, the florist designed a minimalist small bouquet of sweet peas and clematis in different shades of purple. The bridal bouquet was made of lilac (her favorite flowers), garden roses peonies and stock with touch of jasmine and sweet peas.

The ceremony held outdoor with a wooden arch as a focal point. Partially filled with greenery, stock & roses and draped with a hand-tied fabric, it was offering their guests a gorgeous view on the Leman lake. In the aisle runner, some light ground «growing» compositions brought a natural garden feeling.

The reception was designed with the same seasonal spring/summer flowers with an organic style. On a light grey table linen, the garden styled centerpieces in medicis compote gave this effortless elegance to a minimalist set-up. A light vines runner , fruits and votives was the last touch to bring life to the table and inspire conversation amongst the guests. For the beautiful white layered cake, a simple delicate floral design was made of hellobores, berries and nepetas flowers in lavender tones.

A stunning White One gown and some Jimmy Choo shoes perfectly enhanced Sachié’s natural and effortless beauty and grace, while the groom had chosen a bespoke tuxedo and a bow tie for timeless elegance. With smiles and tears of joy they walked towards their new life as husband and wife, accompanied by a round of applause from their beloved ones. The day finally ended with an elegant outdoor dinner and a splendid table design at the Restaurant Tout un Monde where they enjoyed the most beautiful sunset on the Lake Léman.
