The Vision
Style and Mood
We always dreamed of a big, shared celebration where all our loved ones could be present. We ended up planning a 150-guest wedding at a peaceful, nature-close venue where we could spend an entire weekend together. The mood was defined by vintage style and naturalness – these were at the center from the very first moment.
The Wedding
Venue and Hospitality
We held our wedding in an atmospheric rural barn where we could accommodate thirty guests. The weather was perfect, so we could hold the ceremony outdoors. Dinner and the party continued in the barn's intimate space – everything was in perfect balance.
Decor
From the beginning, we knew we wanted understated, natural decoration with classic and vintage elements. The venue itself brought the vintage atmosphere, so we adjusted the decoration accordingly: white and sage green colors dominated. It was important to us that despite the large number of guests, every detail reflected our taste and created a unified overall picture.
Appearance and Beauty
My wedding dress was love at first sight – perhaps this was the first thing about the wedding that I knew for certain. I looked at it for months before finally buying it. I felt completely authentic in it, and it perfectly matched the wedding concept.
Entertainment
The atmosphere was most important to us, so both a band and DJ took care of the good mood. In the afternoon there was a picnic-style guest reception, and in the evening the party started. Everyone had a great time. The master of ceremonies gently guided the events, keeping some classic elements like the bride's dance. We planned the program precisely, so everything went smoothly. The photographers and videographers did fantastic work – perhaps this is the part we appreciate even more in hindsight, as these memories remain forever and we can relive them again and again.
Our Experiences
Planning Process
Although we roughly knew what we wanted, EDEN practically offered us a ready concept – in style, mood, and organization. From then on, everything went smoothly, we only had to coordinate a few details. What really took a lot of work was organizing accommodation and transfers – we handled this completely ourselves, and it certainly wasn't easy.
On the Big Day
As they say: everything flew by in the blink of an eye – and it really was like that. We could barely comprehend how quickly everything happened. The atmosphere was magical, everyone had a great time. The EDEN team professionally coordinated the background work throughout, so we had nothing left to do but enjoy the day and be present for each other and our guests.
Our Advice
Like us, we started organizing with many concrete ideas – mainly regarding decoration. But over time we had to realize that if we want to control everything ourselves (like the wooden discs on the tables...), it can easily go in the wrong direction. Beyond a certain point, there would have been so many details to coordinate that it was better to let go and trust the professionals. Everyone maximally followed our style, and along the way we got many great ideas. Our main advice is therefore not to let go of control only on the big day, but beforehand as well. If everyone knows their job, the whole event becomes much easier and more enjoyable – it was for us too.
