Here for the Hygge: Cozy Styled Shoot featuring Scandinavian-Inspired Details

hygge: (noun) a Danish term defined as a quality of coziness and comfort that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being

Inspired by this convivial concept, Paige Meier of Events by Paige dreamed up an intimate wedding day filled with Scandinavian details that exude warmth. “We imagined the couple authentically enjoying a calm, comfortable wedding day with people they love,” says Paige. “Enjoying good food and drinks among a warm atmosphere and candlelight.” The rustic ambiance at Gathered Oaks in Alexandria was the perfect setting for this residential-style design. Every detail is carefully curated to bring a sense of hygge, from the Swedish drop candles and plates hand-painted with traditional Norwegian rosemaling to the delicate Nordic blue invitations and the Kransekake (Norwegian wedding cake.) Instead of traditional wedding attire, the bride and groom joyfully donned cozy and stylish outfits.
