vintage german castle wedding (with the cutest kids ever)

You know those times when you’re looking through wedding photos and the adorable flower girl and ring bearer totally stole the show? That’s definitely happening a bit here today with this joyously vintage, yet chic and elegant castle wedding from German wedding photographer Hanna Witte & stylist Irina Thiessen.

The castle isn’t your typical castle – it’s pink! The details are fresh and refined, and the kids?! Too cute! Plus, some geese make a cameo. I promise you that it’s most the darling thing you’ll see all week.

From Hanna Witte – “This styled shoot took place in a German castle called Schloss Benrath, built in 1775, and located in Duesseldorf. It is the most romantic castle and has seen a tremendous amount of politicians, celebrities, and royals visiting – for example the Spanish, the Swedish and the English Queens, all who stayed there whilst visiting Germany.

As if that wasn’t fabulous enough, you can also get married there!

This wedding inspiration shoot concept by the most talented Irina Thiessen focused on showing how you can get married in a castle, but not a musty old castle. One that’s bright and airy! The highlight of our shoot were the five flower kids dressed in a fresh vintage-style. We also had three cute geese joining the fun.

The flowers were designed with a color palette of dark wine red, blush and white. The table decorations play with vintage crockery, casual linen and a big centerpiece made of blooms.”
