A cozy & wintry destination wedding in the The Austrian Alps (with a dirndl dress!)

Laura and Patrick had an Austrian destination wedding that was incandescent. They traveled from the U.S. to their favorite little village in the Austrian Alps. They bonded over their mutual travels and their shared love of a town called Hopfgarten. It eventually became the venue for their wedding.

Their intimate mountain ceremony took place in a rustic wooden cabin away from the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes in the Hochbrixen ski area.

After a quick introduction to the igloo, the whole wedding party got to try their ice carving skills in the Alpeniglu Village. You’ve GOT to see this one…

These two young mountain climbers, Aneta and Pepa, are from Prague but chose Austria (one of their places to hike!) for their destination wedding. It ended up being a gorgeous backdrop of meadows, hills, and forest flowers that lit everyone up with a glow unlike any other. The reception entailed cooking food around a campfire and singing songs well into the night. Sweet, simple, and so divine — we are in love with this intimate Austrian wedding. Let’s see if you will be, too…
