ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

Intimate Bridal Event – Bröllopsguiden x KARAAT Jewellery
An evening where jewellery, bridal wear and our latest issue came together on Strandvägen.

An evening created for our readers, followers and brides-to-be, where KARAAT’s jewellery met fashion, music and food in the showroom. Photographer Felicia Margineanu captured the evening through her lens, from the first glimpses before the doors opened to a showroom filled with guests, rings and champagne glasses.
But the evening actually began much earlier. In Bröllopsguiden’s new FW26 issue, KARAAT features in an exclusive editorial. The event became the next chapter, evolving from 12 pages in print to an evening where our readers could step straight into the world behind them.
Berry Weddings gave the showroom a new dress code for the evening, where KARAAT’s showroom was infused with bridal elegance through satin, silver, lace and carefully considered details.
KARAAT’s showroom already has a distinct identity, so the task for Rebecca Ericsson at Berry Weddings was more about reinforcing it than changing it. With over ten years’ experience in project management and wedding design, and a philosophy that favours breaking the mould rather than following it, she works on weddings where design and atmosphere take precedence over tradition.
For our Bridal Evening, the look was ivory satin, silver, mirrors, lace, magazines and candlelight, with KARAAT’s jewellery placed at the centre of it all. There was a clear nod to the world of weddings without the showroom losing its own character. This is also pretty much where Berry Weddings sits aesthetically – less of a ready-made wedding template, more of a personalised world.
Dolci Eventi demonstrated just how much can be achieved with an all-white palette, allowing form, height and different textures to create the dynamism instead.
Isabelle Boström at Dolci Eventi was responsible for the evening’s floral arrangements and she understood our vision straight away. Large white hydrangeas were placed in silver vases, whilst calla lilies and smaller white arrangements recurred throughout the showroom. The all-white palette instead played on shape, height and texture.
It was the details that made all the difference. Pearls were applied directly to the flowers, and a sheer veil was woven into the styling as an unexpected bridal reference. In this way, the flowers became part of the overall set design rather than separate decorations, from the larger arrangements in the room to the small white flower placed in every goodie bag.
Mangia Stories ensured the food followed the evening’s pace and became a natural part of the experience.
For Mangia Stories, founded by Gabriella Galli, the evening was all about food that kept pace with the rest of the event. Small bites were passed through the showroom on silver platters, designed to be enjoyed between a glass of champagne, a conversation and a closer look at KARAAT’s jewellery.
Presentation and taste were given equal prominence. Instead of a traditional catering set-up, the food became part of the room and the evening’s styling, served right in the midst of the mingling and fully integrated into the experience. More like part of the set design than a break from the party.
Ahead of FW26, Bröllopsguiden and KARAAT created a joint 12-page editorial featuring the showroom on Strandvägen as both the location and the starting point.
The jewellery was photographed in a distinctly editorial context, where bridal meets fashion and where the rings take their place as part of a larger look.
Once the issue was complete, we wanted to extend the collaboration beyond the pages of the magazine. During the evening, guests were able to see the result, flick through the new issue and, at the same time, try on KARAAT’s engagement rings, wedding bands and jewellery on the spot. What was first created for print took on a physical form.
Freixenet 0.0% was served, and guests were given a goodie bag containing products from GLOWiD, Switch Nails and KEVIN.MURPHY, an exclusive offer from KARAAT and, of course, the new issue of Bröllopsguiden FW26.

DJ Jood set the tone for the evening, which felt more like an after-hours party than a formal event, and let the energy build as the showroom filled up.
Behind the DJ booth stood DJ Jood, who moves between weddings, events and venues with the same philosophy – the right music is about reading the room, not about following a pre-set playlist. It’s about knowing when to turn up the tempo and when to keep it just below the level of conversation.
On Strandvägen, the result was more of an ‘after-hours’ vibe than a formal event. That’s also how he approaches weddings, with a soundtrack that follows the evening from the reception and dinner through to the party, and a knack for knowing when it’s time to let the dance floor take over.
