Wedding

A wedding is a wonderful occasion to celebrate love with those you hold dear. Anna and Clara enjoy assisting with the wedding preparations when invited to the festivities. "Life’s grand celebratory occasions deserve to be unique and personal," Anna believes.

Find inspiration and creative ideas for decorations, invitations, gifts, table setting, seating plans, food and drink, gift wrapping, and much more.

Anna and Clara adore adding a personal touch to the cosy wedding traditions. "Replace rice with beautiful and colourful flower confetti," Anna suggests. "Flower confetti is perfect for big events," Clara smiles as she tosses a large handful of confetti.

Give the seating plan a decorative touch and let it decorate as well as inform your guests. "You can also personalise the guest book," Anna suggests as she places her fingerprint on the beautiful canvas. "Such a wonderful keepsake for the couple to take home," Clara continues with a smile.

Likewise, you can give the couple a memory from their big day by creating a guest tree, where all guests leave their personal mark. Thus, the guest tree will remind them of everyone who was part of their day. Anna points out that the guest tree can also be a charming feature for other festive occasions.

Wedding preparations can be an exciting, and perhaps somewhat overwhelming, task before the big day. However, creating a beautiful wedding need not be difficult, the sisters believe. “As long as you have a good idea, action is not far from thought,” Anna says. “Especially if you have a flair for creativity and crafts,” Clara adds with a twinkle in her eye. “And perhaps with a little help.”

Wishes for the wedding can be many. Whether you desire a classic, relaxed, rustic, natural, intimate, large, or small wedding, the sisters always have a wealth of inspiration for the many preparations. Let the invitations become little works of art, creating joy and anticipation for your dear guests. “With the invitations, you can also set the tone for your wedding,” Clara says. You can start creating invitations such as:

• Rustic invitations
• Natural invitations with flower bouquets
• Colourful invitations
• Creative invitations with dreamy watercolour patterns
• Invitations with joined hands
• Personal invitations with fine details
• Homemade wedding invitations

Clara sits in the living room, gently shaping the delicate place cards in self-hardening clay. Each name is stamped, letter by letter, into the clay. “Look how it is beginning to take shape,” she says. “How lovely they are, dear sister,” Anna remarks. “They have such a wonderfully personal expression,” she continues. “No two are the same.”

To her great delight, the decorations have become Anna’s responsibility. “There are endless possibilities for creativity,” she says excitedly. Next to her lie the delicate flamingo flowers in crepe paper, each ready to adorn the fabric napkins on the table. The large and romantic flower letters just need the final touch before being placed as table decorations. Graceful floral arrangements in beautiful colours bring the decorations together. “Oh, how beautiful it has become, dear sister,” Clara says.

Anna has decorated a small box with a beautiful motif to be a gift for an upcoming wedding couple. At the wedding party, she will leave the open box on display, to be filled with good advice and beautiful words from the guests. “Then the couple can open the chest and read all the messages on their first wedding anniversary,” Anna smiles. “It is also a lovely gift idea for milestone birthdays and other celebrations,” Clara notes.

You can also find all you need for creative and personal wrapping of the lovely gifts. In the sisters' extensive range of gift wrapping, you can find wrapping paper, gift bags, cards, ribbons, and gift boxes, all in a wealth of beautiful colours and patterns.

• Gift wrapping with a pocket for a card

The wedding season blooms with romance, and Anna busies herself with the festive preparations. Together with Clara, she has created beautiful menu cards for the day's big feast.

Plates filled with delicate finger food are passed around among the happy guests. Small focaccia breads with olives and tomatoes, herb butter with baked garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, tomato tapenade, and honey-roasted pumpkin are neatly arranged on the fine plates.

The sisters have created a personal cake stand for the couple and their guests. Clara has baked delicious cream puff pastries, filled chocolates, small, filled cookies, and small meringue kisses with lemon curd filling for the big day. The many sweet desserts are enjoyed around the small tables to the great delight of all guests.

You can also find a wealth of inspiration for festive and refreshing beverages for the big wedding party. Try the sisters' recipes for cordials, iced tea, rhubarb juice, lemonade, and much more. For the adults, you can make a beautiful green mocktail with elderflower.

Big and small events are an important part of life, according to the sisters. Whether it is the grand wedding celebration, a child’s first birthday, a baby shower, a confirmation, or something else entirely, there is always inspiration to be found in the wonderful world of Anna and Clara.
