Our Swedish wedding in short

  • The Wedding day for the guests starts when the bus leaves from the hotel at 12.15 towards the church. You will not come back to the hotel until after the party so bring everything you need. We also recommend you to eat before the bus leaves, next meal is dinner.
  • In church traditionally the brides friends and family sit to the left and the groom's friends and family to the right. But, we live in 2023 so take whatever seat you like and feel like home.
  • The ceremony is less than one hour. Afterwards you toss rice, flowers or soap bubbles on the newly wed.
    (This will be handed out at the church.)
  • The bus will take you to our dinner location, Gyllene Brunnen. There you will get the chance to talk to the other guests and toast for the couple before dinner.
  • The dinner in Swedish weddings are traditionally long and full of speeches and entertainment. 
  • After dinner the bar opens and the DJ starts playing, the night is young - enjoy!
  • The wedding will be held in Swedish, but we will try to translate and make sure you will have a good time!
