"I have my close friend Laszlo to thank for introducing me to Super Yaya. The dress was bold, original, and best of all, incredibly comfortable. I wanted something that stood out without sacrificing ease, and this hit the mark perfectly."
"I’m a flats-only kind of girl, and I’ve always loved Loeffler Randall, so Landon was a no-brainer! I was searching for something beyond the typical white and instantly fell for the gorgeous off-white satin. They were the perfect mix of chic and comfortable — just what I needed for a long, unforgettable day!"

"We wanted something unusual but personal and were set on having the ceremony in our home city, Geneva. After some searching, we discovered the Société de Lecture in the Old Town. It's a historic private library and cultural space dating back to the 19th century. It struck the perfect balance between traditional, beautiful, and unexpected. We loved its unique character and warm atmosphere. We had dinner afterward at Le Dorian, a renowned restaurant run by the talented chef Florian Le Bouhec."
"We did everything ourselves — from Pol drawing the wedding invitations to me taking care of the venue and all the little details that made a difference. It was a lot of work, but we’re so happy with how it turned out. The ceremony was followed by an English-style afternoon tea, with traditional sandwiches, scones and pastries. My witness Julien, who has a homeware brand Schmitt, had made some custom tablecloths and individual gifts for each guest — they were beautiful fabric hearts filled with potpourri. All of the tableware for the dinner was designed by EnSoie, a family-owned brand from Zurich. They custom-embroidered the table runners, napkins, and more with our initials and wedding date — it was incredibly special."
"We did everything ourselves."
"I loved diving into all the little details — the ones that truly make a wedding feel personal and unforgettable. Planning felt like a full-time job, but I was lucky to have an amazing crew of friends and family who helped bring it all to life!"
"The ceremony was by far the most memorable part of the day. It’s such a rare gift to have everyone you love gathered in one place. Our best friends, Charlotte and Laurence, officiated and put so much love into it. Pol’s vows were incredibly moving — it truly felt magical."
