An unconventional wedding
(part two)
Hi friends.
How did you like to read about the wedding in Luxembourg?
Today’s newsletter is about wedding dresses and other trivialities. It’ll be more informative and less narrated, with recommendations you can hopefully use for your big day.
The groom, my brother, wore a gorgeous blue-night suit (three-button classic) made to measure by the Milan-based taylor shop Lanieri. Very elegant. The Lanieri shop is in Milan and you can go there to pick fabrics, styles and have fittings. The suit will be then home delivered together with a sophisticated breast-pocket pochette. Over the taylor made suit, he wore a lighly quilted “minimal” raincoat by Uniqlo.
The bride, my sister-in-law, was wearing a marvellous dress by Max Mara, above which she put on a cachemire stole by Falconeri, guaranteed to protect against freezing temperatures up to zero degrees!
And the bouquet, made of open-stem white calla lilies, completed the refined set, besides the perfect manicure with OPI Passion.
The newlyweds chose to have different wedding rings: both made of yellow gold, but shiny for her and glazed for him: Angelic Diamonds. And they were even able to engrave the inside of the bride’s ring, albeit very thin. These ones as well had been home-delivered in a beautiful and secure package.
The bride arrived by taxi, and, as cars are not allowed in the main square, we saw her walking in on her own and approaching City Hall’s external staircase as a vision.
After the “museum break”, the wedding dinner took place at Mosconi’s, in Grund: a two Michelin stars restaurant back then (one of them, unfortunately, has since been removed). A beautifully decorated room on the ground floor was assigned to host our wedding banquet, for which one big oval-shaped table had been prepared with a polished, elegant mise en place.
At the time I didn’t know yet that I would want to write about it (or that I had to) some day, so I didn’t really took any note about the menu, but I remember it as a deliciously made, refined dinner.
In last Sunday’s post I wrote about the uniqueness of this ceremony, but several questions came up and I had to publish a part two to answer them all. Should you have any other questions, however, please get in touch. I’d be delighted to address them.
