Fairy Tale Norway Elopement Despite A Pandemic

April 30, 2021 | kailey

Love can’t be canceled—this rings especially true for Anastasija and Dmitri’s fairy tale Norway elopement. After COVID canceled their original wedding plans, this adventurous couple took to the road for an intimate elopement ceremony. From the waterfall backdrop to the unexpected group of wedding crashing sheep, this Norwegian celebration, at the Stalheim Hotel has fully transported us into a magical fairy tale. 

Photographer Ingvild Kolnes blew us away with these special moments that are now captured memories—lasting long beyond their fairy tale wedding day.

More From Ingvlid Kolnes On Capturing Unforgettable Memories

What excites me is the gorgeous and sweet couple who invited me along for their wedding in these spectacular surroundings. They were able to have a destination elopement in the middle of the pandemic, after having to postpone earlier in the year. The day started at Stalheim hotel where Anastasija did her own hair and makeup—looking like a goddess. During the first look, her dress and veil got trampled by the most curious sheep ever. She couldn’t stop laughing. 

I think the love they share is very obvious and the day felt like the definition of epic—especially when it started to rain during their vows. They told me that it only added to the experience. We ended the day at sunset at the most beautiful viewpoint overlooking Sognefjorden.  

The Couple:

Anastasija and Dmitri

The Wedding:

Aurland, Norway

Sheep Crashing The First Look

Dmitri was waiting for me on a field behind our hotel. Being excessively sociable, the sheep got overwhelmed and rushed towards me. The sheep immediately start trampling on my dress, smearing things over it and trying to knock me off my feet. As my groom turned towards me, I distinctly heard the sheep chew on my veil. We both laughed so hard we could barely speak. Finally, both of us escaped the battlefield and had a nice team-building in the room, washing, and blow-drying my dress.

Tips For Planning During A Pandemic 

If you are planning to get married during the pandemic—make sure to have plans B, C, and D and be flexible about the dates. Also, give the highest priority to the paperwork—be aware that the government services are understaffed and overwhelmed with less pleasant tasks, so the whole process might be delayed.

Ceremony Venue – Stalheim Hotel
Floral Design – Sogn Jord- og Hagebruksskule
Officiant – Ivar Øien

 

Congratulations to Anastasija and Dmitri on their fairytale Norway elopement and big thanks to photographer Ingvild Kolnes for capturing these images that are sure to inspire adventurous couples looking to plan a dreamy, outdoorsy elopement. 

Weddings are getting smaller. Planning with purpose and intentionality has become a priority for many couples. If you’re feeling inspired to trade your large wedding for an intimate elopement-styled ceremony, you won’t want to miss this guide to trimming your guest list

You’ve picked the bridesmaid dresses your bridal party will wear as they stand beside you on your big day, but what about what they wear before getting glammed up? Bridesmaid robes not only help your crew look cohesive during getting ready photos, but your party will feel both comfy and special while getting into hair and makeup. To help you check this off your to-do list, we’ve rounded up our favorite bridesmaid robes in satin, linen, lace, and more.

Colorful Striped Robes

Looking to throw a colorful Southwest-inspired wedding? Then you definitely need these colorful striped robes. Not only does the pop of color photograph well, but your bridesmaids will also love having these to lounge around the pool after your special day.

Tropical Print Robes

Nothing says tropical more than robes covered in banana leaves and monstera leaves! These are ideal for a destination wedding in Hawaii or seaside “I do’s” in Tulum.

Beachy Striped Robes

One of the best parts about staying in a hotel is their plushy spa-like robes you get to wear around. These beachy striped robes resemble that look for a comfy yet chic getting-ready ensemble.

Colorful Floral Robes

Floral robes are some of the most common for a getting-ready look, and we know why. They’re playful, flirty, and look totally cute when everyone is matching. If you’re having a spring or summer wedding, this is a fun way to incorporate your color palette and include a whimsical element before the big day begins.

Dark Floral Robes

Want to incorporate florals into your special day but having a fall or winter wedding? Don’t fret! These dark floral robes allow you to include the feminine pattern while making things a bit moodier.

Pink Lace Robes

Pink lace robes are another great popular choice. They’re girly, playful, and timeless. We love how this bride put all of her girls in light pink and opted to put her maid of honor in a dark pink to stand out.

Simple Satin Robes

If pink doesn’t match the vibe that you are going for, but you still want to put your bridal party in satin, you’re in luck. There are so many simple satin robes out there that come in a wide variety of colors. Yellow, blue, red, black, you name it.

Tassel Robes

Is your day whimsical and boho? Then you need tassel robes. Although they’re fairly simple, the tassel detail gives it a macrame look which is the epitome of free-spirited.

Ivory Lace Robes

Who says brides are the only ones who get to wear white? There’s something to be said about matching with your closest friends on your big day. The ivory lace is–and always will be–a classic look.
