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.
Wedding
A stylish celebration of love – Sasha & Emil’s minimalist wedding by the Adriatic Sea
There are weddings, and then there are moments you’ll never forget. Sasha and Emil’s wedding on the Croatian coast in early June was just such a moment. A ceremony where every detail exuded timeless beauty, relaxed luxury and love without any frills.
A stylish dream wedding by the sea in Croatia – Sasha & Emil tied the knot with a view of the Adriatic Sea
There are weddings, and then there are moments you’ll never forget. Sasha and Emil’s wedding on the Croatian coast in early June was just such a moment. A ceremony where every detail exuded timeless beauty, relaxed luxury and love without any fuss. Inspired by Scandinavian minimalism and set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, their day was a visual declaration of love for both simplicity and grandeur.
First Look – a moment just for the two of them
Before the guests had settled in and the music began to play, Sasha and Emil took a moment to themselves. Their first look took place in a tranquil corridor overlooking the sea, framed by columns and architectural details. It was a moment that made time stand still. Two people, in the midst of the most significant day of their lives, who chose to meet in tranquillity before it all began.
A ceremony with the sea as their witness
The spot where Sasha and Emil pledged their eternal love to one another was as impressive as it was intimate. A terrace high above the cliffs, overlooking the sparkling water. The guests sat in the shade, some holding paper parasols, listening to the vows that echoed between the columns and the pine trees. Emil in a white tuxedo, Sasha in an elegant, minimalist dress with a sculptural neckline.
Dinner beneath the trees – and a steep path to eternity
The evening continued with dinner at a long table beneath the trees and parasols. The table was laid with white linen, adorned with white flowers and candles. The guests enjoyed dishes inspired by local cuisine, fresh produce, olive oil and local wine, whilst conversation flowed in time with the sound of the waves. A particularly charming touch was the welcome sign – a playful display featuring symbols from the couple’s journey. It reminded everyone that this was not just a beautiful day, but also a personal story.
A literal plunge into marriage
The photos say it all. The spontaneity, the courage, the freedom. Laughter echoed and the sun cast its last golden glow over the newlyweds. It wasn’t just a beautiful finale; it was a symbol of everything they’d built together. A literal plunge into married life!
