A contemporary, intimate London city wedding and a celebration of cross-cultural love and outstanding culinary experiences.
Jonathan & Kristina’s day was all about the best food and drink. They wanted to share two of their favourite places in London with their families and friends, who came from England, Lithuania and other parts of the world.
The symbolic ceremony and dinner were hosted at Trivet, a Michelin-star restaurant in the heart of Bermondsey. We used yellow as the accent colour to bring ‘the sunshine in’. Bespoke candle holders and napkins tied in perfectly with the venue’s colour palette. All stationery was bilingual and highly personal throughout – the couple’s beloved cat even made an appearance (of course!).
We commissioned OhFe Studio with split screen illustrations, which showed Jonathan & Kristina’s favourite places in LA (where they got engaged) and London, where the couple are building their life together.
For the party, we took everyone on coaches to The Standard Hotel, where guests were treated to the finest drinks, cake and dance. The design was confident and colourful, using lots of happy pinks and reds to tie in with the interior design. We simply wanted to have some fun with the details. Seeing everyone united and dance away to Lithuanian Pop songs later at night was a true highlight.
WEDDING PLANNING & DESIGN SERVICES
‘You were the cornerstone in creating our dream wedding and we are so happy we had the chance to work with you. Even when we struggled to articulate clearly what we wanted, you effortlessly brought our thoughts together into a style that reflected us, our characters and everything we love.
It brought us such a peace of mind to have a go-to person we really trusted, and you was so patient with all the little questions – from choosing shoes, to music and from spotting that the veil needing an adjustment to arranging for a well-timed whisky to calm Jonathan’s nerves before the ceremony.
Having seen your previous designs, we already had high expectations, but your ability to elevate our ideas and make it the best version they could be left us blown away.
This was not only reflected in the design sessions where you went through the intricate details of the day and how it would look and flow, but also in the vendors you suggested. Everyone involved at the wedding was at the top of their game and exactly right for us.
We wanted something that was relaxed, but also elevated, beautiful and full of joy. The day that you created was exactly that and so much more – the care, love, and attention to detail you put into everything you do is beyond belief, and we feel so privileged to have you create such a special day for us.’
