Happy weekend all, didn’t think we’d let you get through the weekend without treating you to a wedding did you? We’re not in the business of disappointing our readers, so after this morning’s M&S wedding cakes low-down, we thought we’d treat you with something to enjoy during the ad-breaks this Saturday evening. This is such a gorgeous wedding day – full of effortless elegance and smiles. I was pretty chuffed on opening my inbox to find that the photographer was Chris Spira as I just knew it would be a cracker. The first time I came across her amazing work was in one of my all time favourite Love My Dress features of Anna and Ralph’s glamorous day.

I was not disappointed. As I looked through nearly 200 amazing photographs I did wonder how Christina and Jonathan could possibly choose which ones would make it to the frames to grace their mantelpiece. The couple, who met in 2009 while studying in Göttingen, married on 25 July 2015 in Stadthagen, north Germany.

Christina loves bright, summery and vintage looks and took some inspiration from those themes, often using Pinterest for ideas. If you haven’t already, you really should visit our Pinterest boards full of pictorial goodness.

As an hispanophile, I have been known to gush about all things Spanish on many an occasion, particularly of their skills in designing an incredibly feminine and flattering wedding gown. Basaldúa, Cortana, Pronovias, Jesús Peiró to name but a few and of course, today’s designer of choice, Raimon Bundó.  Christina chose the beautiful ‘Música’ gown with heavy lace and floaty tulle skirt.

“This gown just had my name written on it. It was perfect for me.”

“We absolutely loved the Rittergut Remeringhausen country estate in Stadthagen, near Hannover. It is surrounded by nature as well as its lovely gardens. We just felt that this venue would fit perfectly to us and our style.”

To complete her look, Christina added a bracelet from her mum, a pair of silver, strappy Jimmy Choos and her pretty flower garland.

“I walked down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon in D major. For me, it was simply a must. I love how ceremonious it is.”

“I designed my veil myself and had it sewn by a local bridal tailor. I wanted a long, very simple veil made of soft tulle.”

“I can’t tell you what my favourite part of the day was. Every single moment was unique and will remain in our memories forever. Maybe it was the car ride in the vintage Beetle, after the ceremony? It was the first private moment of the day, just the two of us, and we could share our first impressions of our wedding day with each other.”

Words of Wedded Wisdom

“We didn’t hire a wedding planner, but for sure we will next time. On reflection, I could have done with thinking of a few of the finer details. Nevertheless, we loved every single minute.”
