That&rsquo;s why we chose a vineyard in the very South of Austria for the occasion, far away from busy city life and full of nature, verdant hills and quietness. We had quite a few friends coming for the wedding from all corners of Europe, so we decided to mix some local traditions with our own personal taste and quirkiness. And from the very beginning we refused to pin ourselves down to just two or three wedding colors. So while the location was quite rustic, we brought in lots of color with flowers and decoration items. The most important sense of inspiration was our guests. Whenever somebody would ask us what to wear, we would say, &ldquo;No matter what, just make it colorful!&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium
