The modern Country-Glam

Updated: Jul 21, 2023

From Cowboy Boots to Rustic Coasters:

A Wedding Styling for Couples who Love Glamour and Country-Charm

Country

When I think of country, images of cowboy boots, Taylor Swift, attention to detail, folk-inspired dresses, expansive fields, and nature immediately come to mind. Capturing this country feeling and pairing it with glamour was the objective of this styling.

Leaving Nothing to Chance

The concept was developed by Martina and Rebea from Awina, and it was very important to the girls that everything was perfectly matching according to their design. They had specific requests for the stationery as well. For example the coasters were chosen to accompany the place cards and a beautiful fabric banner was used as both a decorative element and a tablecloth.

A Touch of Geistreich

Of course, it is important for me to infuse my own style and ideas into a design. Under the given guidelines, I created matching stationery.

"F o r m e , c o u n t r y a l w a y s i m p l i e s a s e n s e o f l o v e l i n e s s a n d a t t e n t i o n t o d e t a i l . "

That's why I designed a delicate vellum paper envelope for this design, which was adorned with a beautiful, vintage floral painting before being die-cut. The same painting was incorporated into the envelope liner, as it perfectly complemented the design both in terms of color and style.

The place cards remained simple to harmonize with the woven wooden coasters, while the menu cards were also kept minimalistic and placed on a linen cloth to add more texture to the overall table styling.

To add a personalized touch, the exquisite fabric banner was embellished with the names of the wedding couple.

Now I wish you a lot of joy

Costs

I asked the team how much this intimate wedding in Basel would cost.

Unfortunately, I can't answer this question too precisely this time. As you know, everything about a design is always very individual and that's why I always recommend asking the respective service provider for an exact quote.

My rough estimate for the above wedding design (without the rental costs of the room, without the dresses and without the jewellery) is approximately CHF 30'000.- to CHF 50'000.- for 20 people.
