Today we’re taking a trip to Norway for the enchanting wedding of Pauline and Robin at Romskog Spa on July 6th, 2019. The bohemian vibe was palpable as they exchanged their vows beneath a breathtaking floral arch, surrounded by lush greenery and flowing drapes. It was the perfect setting for an unforgettable ‘I do.’
Following the outdoor ceremony, the newlyweds ventured into the forest for a romantic photo shoot with Maximilian Photography, who graciously shared their stunning images with us. Jon, thank you for allowing us to relive this special day.
As the sun began to set, the celebration transitioned indoors, where the atmosphere was transformed by elegant decorations featuring brass candlesticks, grey candles, and a symphony of eucalyptus and blooms. Pauline’s stunning long-sleeved gown and flowing locks paired beautifully with Robin’s dashing tuxedo. It was truly a magnificent wedding day.

Beauty
Ramona Matei, a close friend of the bride, brought her exceptional makeup skills to the special day. As a talented artist based in Odense and affiliated with MAC, she ensured that every guest looked their absolute best. Meanwhile, Thereses salong in Bjørkelangen was responsible for styling the hair of all those in attendance.

The Readings & Music
The Norwegian Humanist Association is featured prominently, with a focus on its music initiative. The vocal talents of Marie Braathen Sælen are showcased alongside the skillful guitar work of Alexander Frogner, highlighting the association’s commitment to creative expression and artistic collaboration.
Bridesmaids
The fashion duo, Tanja and Unn Therese, have been spotted rocking almost identical marine blue dresses courtesy of the renowned brand, Samsøe & Samsøe.
Your Outfits & Accessories
When planning our special day, we opted for a unique and stylish approach by choosing a bridal dress from Nordic Wedding Store & Outlet in Årjang, Sweden. The Ladybird Bridal brand stood out to us due to its simplicity and bohemian charm, deviating slightly from the traditional classic wedding gown aesthetic. For the groom’s attire, we selected a tuxedo from The Player in Oslo, specifically the Vitale Barberis Canonico design. This choice was influenced by our experience with one of the groomsman, who had worn the same tuxedo for his own wedding and raved about it. We thought it would be a great idea to have the same tuxedo for our special day, ensuring a cohesive and memorable look.

The Details & Décor
Ethereal settings often require a delicate balance between rustic and refined elements. The juxtaposition of brass candlesticks sourced from vintage thrift markets against the crisp, minimalist backdrop of white tablecloths creates an air of sophistication. Meanwhile, the earthy fragrance of eucalyptus leaves adds a subtle yet grounding quality to the space, while grey candles provide a neutral canvas that allows each element to shine without overpowering the others.
The Cake
Memorable Moments
As we reflected on the entire day’s events, it was undeniable that the most poignant moment occurred during the ceremony when Vilde, our eldest child at just five years old, accompanied the bride to the altar. This tender scene left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
Advice For Other Couples
When embarking on a significant project or event, it’s crucial to plan ahead and anticipate potential delays. Allocate sufficient time for each stage of preparation, allowing for any unexpected twists or turns that may arise. Remember, meticulous attention to detail can save time in the long run.
