Wedding theme: Simple and intimate

Guests: 25

Budget: $10,000

Best moment: “We spent the entire day together,” says Mark. “We woke up early, went together to get Pernilla’s hair and makeup done, drove to Emerald Lake, got dressed together, shared a bottle of champagne, and walked into the wedding ceremony hand in hand. The best moment was the entire day.”

Favourite detail: “The ‘special items’ at our wedding were our wedding bands,” says Pernilla. “They were custom made by my sister Ellinor who is a self-employed goldsmith and high-end jewellery designer.”

Wedding song: “Always You” by Sophie Zelmani. “She is one of our favourite Swedish music artists, and the song captures how we feel about each other,” says Pernilla.

Honeymoon: A pre-wedding trip to Cuba
