OUR FOUNDER'S BRIDAL FAVORITES

Wedding season is officially here. We sat down with founder and creative director, Helena, to learn her top tips and jewelry picks—including what BRUNA jewelry pieces she wore to her civil wedding this summer.

Where did you have the civil wedding?

We got married in my hometown in Styria which has a beautiful former 15th-century castle and Augustinian monastery, including a church and gardens.

Where are your wedding rings from?

Naturally, we made our own wedding bands. You'll find them very soon on BRUNA! I went for a timeless, slightly rounded version in 14k solid gold with a special engraving.

What jewelry did you wear?

Who made your civil wedding dress? And where are your shoes from?

The dress is from Meshki. I discovered the brand just a month before the wedding after having tried on so many silk slip dresses from other dressmakers. This one was by far the most flattering. My shoes were from Jimmy Choo and Simon wore a pair from Tod's.

What was in your civil wedding cake?

Our cake was a gift from my aunt. It was filled with raspberry and strawberry yogurt—our two favorite flavors. We wanted something light and not too sweet because I don't like cakes that are overly sweet.

Do you have any tips for future brides?

Don't let yourself be too stressed or influenced by social media—there will always be a bigger wedding, a more extravagant wedding dress, or a trendier wedding cake, but at the end of the day, those things don't really matter. What's important is the time spent with family—your guests and friends will remember the love you shared, the joy, only that and nothing else. I believe that overall I'm a very relaxed person and so I was mostly calm and relaxed in the wedding planning as well. Although I started planning early—that helps too!
