Important Update
With everything happening in the world and so many of the people we love unable to join us, we have made the heartfelt decision to postpone our Copenhagen wedding. Our thoughts are with those facing hardship, and with our homeland. We are holding our vision for that day a little longer, waiting for a luckier 2027, when the world has softened enough to bring us all together.

dress code : garden formal
since our wedding takes place during the week of Midsommar, it’s only fitting to dress for the occasion!
​
for the ladies, we suggest leaning into the season with long colorful dresses.
for the gentlemen, we envision an elegant "garden" take on formal wear.
​
above all, we hope you’ll embrace a whimsical vibe that captures the enchanting spirit of the summer solstice. that being said, your comfort is most important to us! please do keep in mind that Copenhagen weather can be quite unpredictable, so we recommend packing extra layers to stay cozy should the evening breeze pick up.
*if you're unsure of your outfit, feel free to coordinate with us for some inspo :)
