Step into this absolute dream of a wedding. That’s right we are joined by Ingrid and Lasse who are kindly sharing their Akrasanden Norway elopement<\/strong>, swoon!<\/p>\n

Their day was inspired by nature, with a ceremony overlooking the sea and wildflowers all round, their day was a delight. I adore their stunning outfits, the personal touches and of course, the picturesque setting.<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to TS Foto Design<\/a> for sharing with us these totally beautiful images. Wow.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

He surprised me while I was playing with the dog on the sofa<\/strong>. Suddenly, he was on his knees with a ring in his hand.<\/p>\n

We wanted something that represented who we are and one of our mutual passions, nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

The ceremony took place outdoors, on a craggy hill near the beach with a view of the wild North Sea and a summery-landscape covered in wildflowers. Our guests were scattered around on the heather-clad hills, overlooking the ocean.<\/p>\n

My maid of honour plays the fiddle and she played \u201cFor the dancing and the dreaming<\/strong>\u201d from How to Train Your Dragon 2 (animated movie) as we came up the path (together, with Lasses two adorable nieces ahead of us), and \u201cConcerning hobbits<\/strong>\u201d from the Lord of the Rings as we walked out, with all our guests in tow.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

I bought my wedding dress from Needle and Thread<\/strong>. I\u2019d loved their feminine and romantic look for years and I wanted an untraditional wedding dress, which I could use for other occasions. I picked one with floral details and also decided to go for a flower crown<\/a> of wildflowers and a matching bouquet to signify my love for nature. The only jewelry I wore was my mother\u2019s necklace, which I borrowed for the day.<\/p>\n

Lasse bought his suit from a local shop in Alta, called Vaag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Honeymoon<\/h3>\n

We haven\u2019t gone yet, as we\u2019re having a baby in April \u2013 our wedding gift to each other. But hopefully we can travel to someplace in Greece next year.<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

We used wildflowers (or as close as we could come) for the decorations and split them up in different shaped and coloured vases. We also handmade the place cards<\/a> from a birch from Lasses father\u2019s forest (cut, polished and branded by hand) and used seashells from the beaches in Alta that we picked as soon as the ice melted in the spring (to have a bit of the north with us).<\/p>\n

As nature was our theme, the colours were a bit of mix to match the variations in nature.<\/p>\n

Memorable Moments<\/h3>\n

Too many to count \u2013 it was truly a magical day and we are so grateful to everyone who made it happen. It was all perfect.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t let the preparations and your expectations of the day turn to stress. There are plenty of ways to plan your wedding. Plan the things that need to be in place and invite the people that are important to you. The greatest memories don\u2019t come from beautiful decorations, expensive dresses or fancy food \u2013 they come from the people you surround yourself with and the love you share and celebrate on your big day.<\/p>\n
