Luxuriously Opulent Switzerland Winter Wedding

October 9, 2021 | riley

We’re dreaming of the snowy winter days ahead and weddings like Mélanie & François’ opulent Switzerland winter wedding has us ready to break out our skis and snowboards. The couple–who have always had a love for winter sports and the Swiss Mountains–knew that when it came time to tie the knot, it had to be at The Chedi Andermatt.

With the help of Junebug member and planner All You Need About, the two exchanged vows in front of the hotel’s fireplace for a cozy, intimate ceremony that was the epitome of winter. Even the floor looked like it was covered in fresh powder. All of these details paired beautifully with the carefully curated white and baby blue dried florals that made up the backdrop.

They then took portraits on ice skates with their photographer, Jessica Amber. It doesn’t get much more romantic than that! So keep scrolling if you’re looking for icy inspo because this one’s love at frost sight.

The Couple:

Mélanie & François

The Wedding:

The Chedi Andermatt, Andermatt, Switzerland

Memorable Wedding Moments

The first memorable aspect was the location. For those who have never been to the Chedi in Andermatt, Switzerland, it is a cocoon of softness and calm nestled in the middle of a landscape shimmering with white. Our second most memorable moment was the “pre-wedding” evening with our closest friends and family in the hotel bar. The relaxed atmosphere, the delicious cocktails, the laughter, the sharing, and the wonderful emotions made it a memory engraved forever in our minds.

Bright colors, a wedding gown fit for a princess, and desserts almost too pretty to eat—this Morrhof micro wedding inspiration has it all. When coming up with a wedding concept, Weddings by Christina found inspiration from a summer color gradient that went from beige to pink. Each vendor recreated that color gradient throughout the wedding from the floral arrangements by Gärtnerei Reinwald to the invitations by Traufabrik.

Starting with a light beige, continuing with delicate as well as strong yellow shades, and then peach, up to a dusty pink—the concept idea was to have a color gradient reflected in various aspects like decoration, flowers, and the sweetheart table. These summery colors combined with gold and white gave the wedding an elegant touch.

With the fresh colors, soft fabrics, and the atmosphere of one of the top exclusive venues in Germany, the Mediterranean Morrhof, this wedding inspiration exudes joy, elegance, and an effortless vibe.
