The Wedding Post
August 25th, 2011 Posted in Sewing, Special occasions, WeddingOur little family has been going through a summer marked by some great events.
It’ll come as no surprise to most of you, that many evenings and weekends have been occupied by wedding planning, and the making of the wedding gown as well as the bridesmaid dresses. Therefore it was a welcome break when we headed out to spend our first summer vacation on board our boat Anna – and then when we returned to Køge Marina we had two weeks to finish preparing for the wedding. It was a busy few weeks, but it was also the time when we most came to look forward to the wedding, and were able to relate to it much more than had been the case earlier in the year. A wedding is such a big event, and at least to me, it was hard to grasp until we were counting down the days by the use of two hands only.
When Mads first had proposed, one of my very good friends let me know that she would love to design my dress. So she has, and we have had so much fun making it. When all the details were pretty much decided, and the first versions sewn up in plain cotton, I went shopping for the fabric and other materials, and we spent a weekend together at her apartment, just cutting, sewing, adjusting, and having fun. We had the best time! I made the bridesmaid dresses, and my own clutch bag – I will put up a different post with patterns, fabric, and all that.
Besides this, I think I will let the photographs below speak. We had the most wonderful, loving day, and we so enjoyed having all of our friends and family around us to celebrate. Below is a small selection – you can find a larger selection of the professional photographs here.

Et stort og hjerteligt tillykke til jer alle.

Det ses så tydeligt at det var en stor begivenhed for hele jeres familie.
Og hvor lyser kærligheden mellem din mand og dig bare ud af billederne (som forøvrigt er super gode!)
Jeg kunne skrive en masse om hvor smukke i alle ser ud, og hvor flotte jeres kjoler er. Men jeg vil bare nøjes med at sige, at jeg virkelig synes det hele udstråler sådan en elegance, yndefuldhed, hjertevarme og kærlighed.

Jeg håber at i havde den allerskønneste dag.
Mange hilsner

You know how thrilled I am for you all, but again, Congratulations!
Wishing you a long and happy life together!
You all look fantastic. I hadn’t realised that you made the girl’s dresses, I thought you might have delegated that job! They are very lovely, I think that is a great pattern.

Sikke en smuk brud! Det er en fantastisk flot kjole I fik lavet, og brudepigekjolerne er bare så søde, de små brudepiger må da have følt sig som prinsesser:)

Vidunderligt, Astrid, kæmpe tillykke til jer.
Det er nogle fantastiske billeder af jer alle, varme og glæde lyser ud af hvert eneste af dem.
Du er den smukkeste brud, jeg længe har set, og det gør det da kun endnu skønnere, at du selv har syet din kjole.
Hurra for jer -
jeg ønsker jer alt det bedste…
