 10th of July: välkomstdrink 🥂🍾

Hej allesammans! (Hello everyone!) After your journey from Belgium and from different regions in Sweden, we invite you to kick off our wedding weekend! 👯‍♀️ From 16:00 to 21:00, join us for a welcome drink with some Swedish food. It’s a perfect moment to welcome you all, catch up, and share a 'skål' (cheers) before our big day. Practicalities for your arrival: We encourage everyone to carpool the venue. Or if you want, you can order a taxi: - https://tranastaxi.se/kontakta-oss- https://www.taximjolby.se/ If you have any questions about how to get here, please just give us a 📞. Safe travels everyone and we can't wait to greet you in Blåvik! 🥂😍 ADDRESS: Ringsbergsstigen 3 in Blåvik, BoxholmDRESS CODE: Summer chic - it's a garden party so don't make it yourself too difficult with high heels. 😉

 11th of July: wedding day 🩵💛

Saturday: Our Swedish 'Ja!' Join us for our Ceremony, starting at 12:30 promptly (noon). We kindly ask you to arrange your own transport to the church; parking is available just across the street. Following our vows, we’ll enjoy a small lunch – a light meal, perfectly 'lagom' (just right) before the main festivities. This will be followed by a reception. After some mingling and perhaps another 'skål', we'll journey together to our location for dinner and 'dans' (dancing). Your journey home is taken care of! While you'll manage your transport to the ceremony, we want you to fully enjoy the day &amp; evening without a second thought. Transport will be provided for all guests from the dinner and party venue during the night, ensuring everyone gets home back safely. Get ready to party, Swedish style! 💃🕺🏻🇸🇪 ADDRESS: Blåvik church / kyrka569, 595 73 Boxholm, ZwedenDRESSCODE: Cocktail (for the ladies: feel free to shine in a beautiful party dress, long or short – anything goes, whatever the colour 😉✨) P.S. A little tip, try to carpool as much as possible on Saturday towards the church since you'll have to pick up your car on Sunday. Or see taxi tips here above.

Wedding Celebrations

We live in the peaceful village of&nbsp;Blåvik. Our wedding celebrations and party will take place in the area around&nbsp;Tranås. Finding accommodation somewhere between Blåvik and Tranås, or close around those, would be a great solution for your stay. The lake that you see on the map is lake Sommen. We've also added a second screenshot so you can see where it is situated in Sweden. P.S.On the day of the wedding, you won't have to worry about a thing! After the ceremony, we will arrange all necessary transportation to ensure everyone gets to the party safely and comfortably.
