emily and leos autumnal wedding

My biggest styling gig so far- designing a gown completely from scratch with Emily and styling Leo has been my highlight of 2025.

Emily and Leo got married in October of 2025, in a beautiful venue outside Chicago. We designed her gown from scratch together with a tailor specialized in corsets.

Emilys mom, Kelly, kept and preserved her own grown from the 1980ies and allowed us to create our own vision.

For the cermony, we created a custom made-to-measure corset from the inherited fabric and transferred all beading and trims. We added semi- sheer sleeves with the identical sleeve trim and added a full, multi-layered skirt. With the original fabric we created two bustles to give it a victorian silhouette and added a short veil for underneath the hair.

Leo is wearing a vintage, light gray Ermenegildo Zegna suit with a subtle checked pattern, combined with a rusty orange linen-mix waistcoat and a light blue shirt. Note the small details like the matching pocket square, the tie clip (just like all the grooms men!) and the lion shapec brooch on his lapel.

For the reception the next day, Emily changed her skirt for a custom made bubble skirt with a shorter front part, specially made from her grandmothers wedding gown <3

The shoes stayed the same but were highlighted with hand-made bows and little clips like in the 1960ies :) For the later part of the evening, Emily took the sleeves off the corset for more freedom to dance.

Leo is wearing an Italian waist-coat and Jacket combo in a grey-green checked pattern together with navy colored pants. Note the pocket square and the brooch!

veronika and burkhard

my very first styled couple!!

Veronikas look is a very special 1950ies made to measure gown, already holding 4 happy marriages accountable! We combined it with a vintage velvet Chloé cape we found in a theater archive and added another pop of color with these vintage patent leather miu miu heels.

Another special detail is the bridal bouquet, a bunch of calla lilies in her main colors, bordeaux and white, held together with a velvet bow.

Burkhard is wearing a full navy blue look with a pattern clash twist ;)

A pin stripe suit combinde with a velvet blue, flower printed waist coat and a vintage tie with tiny white polka dots. Note the blue striped socks and his brooch holding the calla lily. Not only resembling a pocket square, but also held by her initial, the letter V.

extravagant

wedding look

Luise got married in August 2024 and our approach was a very non-conform bridal look. No big, white tutu gown but cool and contemporary. We combined semi transparent Sleeper Pants with a feather trimmed pants seam and a silver coated vintage Versace denim jacket. An easy baby tee elevated with a big svarovski choker. My personal highlight are the holographic silver Paris Texas Mules. A perfect match with her finances boot!!

80ies

vibe

This wedding is closest to my heart, my brother Felix got married to Anna in in August 2023. We styled a navy blue pin stripe suit from the 1980ies by Gianni Versace with an opulently printed silk shirt by the same designer and his Doc Martens leopard loafers and a vintage flower brooch on his lapel.

For the second part of the night, Felix changed into a psychedelic printed plissee shirt from a recent collection by Gianni’s sister Donatella Versace :)

mariannes garden wedding

Marianne and Paul got Married in August 2023, celebrating in the groom’s parents’ garden.

She is wearing a vintage Vera Wang gown with a 1930 ies silhouette, little puffy sleefes and a delicate embroidery. A little cap veil and sparkling Dior heels were added, but her necklace, a wedding day gift by her finace completed the look <3

For their civil wedding on the romantic Roseninsel in Starnberger See, Marianne wore a strapless 1950ies inspired gown by Delphine Manivet, a fur jacket inherited by Pauls grandmother and a pair of Manolo Blahnik Hangisi heels in blue and gold, honoring her Ukranian heritage.
