Wedding Preparations on Bornholm
Xin and Mitesh decided upon an elopement wedding with little fuss. Still, they were both able to bring their families to Denmark for the big event.
“As foreigners living in Germany, Denmark is a place in Europe we can get married easily without much bureaucracy”, they mentioned as one of the reasons for choosing Bornholm and the wedding planners in Wedding on the Rocks for their very special day.
They arrived a day in advance on Bornholm. Once here, they stayed together with their respective families in a local hotel not far from the destination of their wedding ceremony. Even though they asked our wedding planners for assistance, there were some personal preparations to the wedding, the individual family members wished to take care of themselves.
The Choice of the Wedding Destination
Xin and Mitesh picked one of the most spectacular views to be found on Bornholm. The magnificent Opal Lake is a large nature reserve offering spectacular views. This man-made former granite quarry includes an amazing lake filled with water of a deep green colour, which give the area its romantic name. The lake is framed with steep, high cliffs that offer a view not only onto the lake, but also over the island for as far as the eye can see. The nature reserve is at the Northern tip of Bornholm. Close by, you’ll find not only the Hammershus fortress ruin, but also the Hammerknuden Plateau.
“We visited the island last year and really fell in love with it,” the beautiful couple said about their choice of location for the wedding ceremony. “Doing our wedding in Bornholm, we also had the opportunity for a nice destination wedding weekend. It’s one of our favourite places to visit and we will definitely come again.”
Prior to the wedding ceremony, our wedding planners decorated a secluded spot on the ‘cliffs’ with flowers and ornaments that matched the joyous occasion in the Danish nature. The choice of decorations was made in accordance with the wishes of the happy couple, who especially enjoyed their visit to the local flower farm and florist at H(e)aven Bornholm
Their chosen spot for their wedding at the Opal Lake offered a magnificent view onto the popular nature reserve. Yet it was still private enough to keep the event away from prying eyes. The top of the cliffs also offered natural seating opportunities for Xin and Mitesh’s wedding guests. In addition, the ceremony was accompanied with live music performed by a first class cellist living on Bornholm.
The Photo Shoot
The Opal Lake offers not only spectacular views, but also prime opportunities for wedding pictures that will impress friends and family. Both Xin and Mitesh were happy with what Bornholm’s nature had to offer them and their families. The nature surrounding the lake offered prime opportunities for wedding photographs. Both bride and groom as well as the wedding photographer knew how to make the best use of the backdrop.
“Thank you again for making everything so memorable for us. We really appreciate you going the extra mile and it felt like Kristian and Siine were part of our family and took great care of us. When we visit Bornholm again, we would definitely love to see you again.”
❣️❣️ We sincerely thank Xin and Mitesh for giving us the opportunity to be their wedding planners and wish them a joyous future together! ❣️❣️
