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.

Honeymoon – a royal journey
Not sure where to go on your honeymoon? Choose your destination carefully and make this your dream holiday. To give your trip a little extra royal glamour, why not take inspiration from the royal family’s choice of honeymoon destinations?
William & Kate
North Island, Seychelles In May 2011, Prince William of England and his Kate went on their honeymoon. It’s hard to get much more luxurious than this – your own butler, an outdoor bathroom and a private chef, for around 40,000 SEK per night. There are only 11 villas on the island, so there’s certainly no question of overcrowding on the beach. The Seychelles consist of 42 islands and are situated in the Indian Ocean, renowned for their crystal-clear waters and white beaches fringed with beautiful green trees.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: March–November.

Mette-Marit & Haakon
New York The Norwegian Crown Prince and Princess, Mette-Marit and Haakon, chose to spend their honeymoon in New York following their wedding in 2001. New York is the perfect destination for a couple who prefer the vibrant energy of city life to the blazing sun on the beach. Prices can vary considerably, but for those looking for a shorter break, there are weekend trips to The Big Apple for between around 5,000 and 10,000 Swedish kronor per person.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: The seasons are largely the same as in Sweden.

Mary & Frederik
TanzaniaWhen the Danish Crown Prince and Princess, Mary and Frederik, got married in 2004, they left the wedding reception in the middle of the night to fly to Tanzania. Tanzania lies just south of the equator in East Africa and is a dream destination for anyone wishing to experience a genuine wilderness safari. A ten-day trip, including a safari and a few days of sun and swimming on the island of Zanzibar, costs from 24,900 kronor per person.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: March–May and October–December.
