One <\/span>look at their wedding venue<\/span><\/a> made Kristina and Gerwin fall in love—for good reason. Their Chateau Neercanne wedding was a real-life fairytale set at a gorgeous castle in the Netherlands. <\/span><\/p>\n

Event planner <\/span>Nikki de Lang Wedding & Events<\/span><\/a> added simple yet elegant decor and used the castle’s grounds to create a unique ceremony seating arrangement. On top of that, floral designer <\/span>Moon Daisy<\/span><\/a> dressed up the space with elegant arrangements, including a <\/span>floral drenched circular arch<\/span><\/a>, using soft blushes, eucalyptus, and gold details. <\/span><\/p>\n

To make the wedding even more special, Gerwin’s brothers, sisters, and dad recited <\/span>a Dutch tradition<\/span><\/a> in their Armstrong clan tartan. Get ready to see a fairytale wedding come to life with photos captured by <\/span>Ik Trouw van Jou<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Something Old and Something Borrowed<\/span><\/h2>\n

For the “something borrowed”, one of my girls gave me a pin to borrow and then handed me “something old,” which was a bridal locket<\/span><\/a> with my and my late grandmother’s picture in it! My grandmother was a mother figure to me. I was so touched by this, I couldn’t stop crying. So we <\/span>pinned the locket to my bouquet<\/span><\/a> so she was there. She blessed our day with sunshine and love.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/h2>\n

Planning A Wedding During A Pandemic<\/span><\/h2>\n

We wanted a weekend wedding to accommodate everyone. Due to COVID-19<\/span><\/a>, we needed to make it even smaller. So, we had to be strict with the guest lists—<\/span>only direct family and closest friends<\/span><\/a>. Ultimately, we were so happy with our 50 guests! The whole weekend gave us <\/span>quality time with each other<\/span><\/a> and we didn’t feel so rushed.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Created A New Wedding in 8 Weeks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our original wedding venue burned down eight weeks prior to our wedding. We set this almost-brand-new wedding in those eight weeks! We wanted an entire weekend celebration, so we had to arrange new locations for everyone, change the invitations<\/span><\/a>, and everything that goes along with changing venues. However, the details of the wedding were phenomenal— handwritten name cards, custom-made logos, and doorposts in our guests’ rooms.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/h2>\n

Only Had Eyes For One Another<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ceremony was the most transcending moment of the wedding. We debated for so long on whether we were going to say our vows<\/span><\/a> in front of everyone or not. We both felt so insecure, but we’re so happy we did. You could say <\/span>we were in a bubble all day<\/span><\/a>—we only had eyes for one another. Saying our vows to each other that day was so magical.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Advice From The Bride<\/span><\/h2>\n

Enjoy the wedding planning process<\/span><\/a>, but also <\/span>make a plan B and C<\/span><\/a>. Spend the time to think about what is needed to have and nice to have and agree on that together. Finally, we built <\/span>a few moments of alone<\/span><\/a> time during the wedding and that was amazing. We used that time to just be alone together and take it all in.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Why A Chateau Neercanne Wedding?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We initially didn’t choose this venue. We had another venue in Belgium, which burned down eight weeks prior. We were so devastated but when we saw this location<\/span><\/a> we just forgot about the other location. It was meant to be! Due to COVID-19 and a lot of cancellations, we were able to keep our wedding date too.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
