The wedding was held on a warm day in spring at the House of Nobility in Stockholm, Sweden. And can you believe that the dress was made by the groom’s brother? Well, the beautiful bride, Louise, was so sweet to tell us a little bit [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/real-wedding-traditional-and-personal/ It’s hard not to be attracted to sea glass. There’s just something about the glass that makes you want to touch the soft, sanded … and hold it up against the light. I’m never able to find sea glass on the coasts any longer, not like when I was a child. Maybe that’s why there’s [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/seaglass-jewelry/ While nothing beats the stunning, traditional croquembouches made of airy profiteroles and coated in crunchy caramel, I think that this faux croquembouche made of Ferrero Rochers makes quite a pretty centerpiece for the coffee table, don’t you think? (And equally delicious!) It’s really easy to make: Find a styrofoam cone (this one was about 20cm [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/ferrero-rocher-croquembouche/ Ballet is classical and graceful, but also very worldly, urban and tough. It would be obvious to create a collage with inspiration from the grand stage, but I chose to take inspiration from the ballet school lofts with light spilling in from the large windows and bouncing off of the mirrored walls, as well as [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/inspiration-collage-urban-ballet-wedding/ Vintage skeleton keys just have something special about them. Imagine a large, intricate, rusty key, opening the gate to a secret garden… The old, romantic and whimsy keys connote quite a bit of symbolism, not to say the slightly cheesy but very sweet idea of “you have the key to my heart” phrases. (My friend [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/vintage-keys-for-weddings/ Photographed by Jennifer Skog, USA. Let’s go to Rome. I love to step into the majestic Pantheon, the larger than life Colosseum, carry a gelato to a piazza and soak in the some by the edge of a refreshing fountain, while observing the elegant Italians… and at night, a walk down the Spanish steps… mmmmmnnn.

I love to pair the palette down with juicy berry pies rather than wedding cakes, decorations made from inexpensive materials such as yellowed pages, garlands of tea-stained coffee filters. I can’t [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/collage-antique-paper-and-parisian-rose/ Photographed by Erika Gerdemark, Sweden While we’re wishing for the warmness and sunlight to stretch over to our side of the globe, we can dream away for a couple of minutes to this gorgeous, Swedish wedding on a hot summer’s day, photographed by supertalented Erika Gerdemark. I absolutely love the softness and warmth of these [...]]]> http://www.prettychicblog.dk/english/2010/06/castle-wedding-on-a-hot-summers-day/ I have always loved, loved, loved Alphonse Mucha’s paintings – the goddess-like ladies in flowing empire dresses and the lush crowns of flowers. So I get really giddy, whenever I see modern images like the one above. I really love this picture from the latest Hermés campaign, and especially the floral hair wreath.
