Melanie and Marco’s Relaxed Autumn Wedding in Austria by Sandy Alonso

It may be the midst of winter out there and ridiculously cold, but today I am taking you for some autumn sunshine as we head across to Austria for the gorgeous wedding of Melanie and Marco. This lovely couple wanted a chilled day filled with Boho inspired decoration and flowers and this they got. Beautiful detailing, a relaxed vibe and lots of personality. Big thanks to Sandy Alonso for capturing the day for us.

The time passed far to quickly and everything was more relaxed than expected

Melanie and Marco were married on 30th September 2023 in Karlingbergergut in Austria. The very positive first impression of the location and the friendly manager of the location was what made us choose the location. We had 100 guests and it took a year and half to plan.

How they met
We met on Tinder and have been together for 3 years now

The proposal
It happened having dinner at the house of Melanie´s Dad

How did you allocate your budget?
We had a buget for the whole wedding but not for every single supplier….cake, dress, flowers, etc.

Where did you splurge and where did you save?
We were able to save money on food & snacks, we spent most for service providers and decoration

How did you choose your photographer?
Sandy has already been the photographer of Marco´s sister´s wedding and we fell in love with her photography style

The dress
Dress was from Stella York

The suit and bridesmaids
Peek & Cloppenburg  & Amazon

Theme or colour scheme
Dark red & green tones

Flowers and Decoration 
Boho style flowers and decoration with eucalyptus and dried flowers

Food 
Soup, Zwiebelrostbraten, Pumpkinrisotto, Salmon and Wiener Schnitzel

Where did you go on your honeymoon?
We spent 3 days at a wellness hotel in Salzburg and went to Mallorca for another 3 days

Personal touches
Most of the decoration was made by Melanie and everything was chosen by her

Special moments
The wedding ceremony itself – which was very heart touching and emotional

Advice for other couples?
Do what you want and don´t let other people´s opinion influence you

Biggest surprise
That everything went according to our plans and very peaceful
