Bianca and Liesa wanted their wedding to be “colorful, intimate, and full of joy.” They describe it as a relaxing day in the German countryside, involving several DIY elements.
The ceremony was supposed to be outside, but just before it was set to begin, it started to rain and the ceremony was moved indoors. Bianca and Liesa loved it, though, and say it only made the event cozier.
