This editorial was all about Spring awakening: we wanted to tell the story of a chic, playful, luxurious wedding that celebrates freedom and hope. It's a story of adaptability, healing, and unstoppable love: it's finding courage, light, and creativity even during difficult times, and knowing that the best is very much yet to come. For our styling, we were inspired by the tales of Antheia, the Greek goddess of flowers, swamps, and gardens - and also Roman goddess of human love and trust. We had floral motifs woven into the stationery, tablecloth, and embroidered veil, while the dress and jewellery were chosen to be echos of the sparkling waters and crystal caves. For our colour palette, we chose an organic pairing of peachy pinks, bright citrusy tones, and pops of berry burgundies. We wanted every part of the day - from the ceremony at the temple, the dinner at the ruins, and the sunset spent by the lake, to feel deeply wild but still elevated and refined. For us, this is luxury: being able to celebrate love while surrounded by nature's majesty.
