Black, White & Cool: A Minimalist, Modern Wedding in Feldkirch

The E3 Restaurant at the Montforthaus in Feldkirch certainly meets many of the criteria for an ideal wedding venue. It features a rooftop terrace offering sweeping views over the city’s rooftops and all the way to the Swiss mountains, historic sites right on its doorstep, and, last but not least, a staircase that serves as the backdrop for cinematic moments with the wedding couple. Another highlight is the black-and-white design elements found throughout the building. The venue also stands out for its unique settings, perfect for a stunning couple’s photo shoot.

The black-and-white wedding stationery has a simple, minimalist, and clean-lined look. It features large letters that reveal at a glance what’s on the page. Black on white. A black wax seal on the envelope completes the overall look.

The bride’s jewelry has a delicate and elegant look thanks to a successful combination of silver and pearls. The bride’s clutch is a real eye-catcher. Not only does this clutch fit the theme with its color and modern style—the font on the clutch is the same one used on the wedding stationery. The silver wedding rings are also ready for the ceremony, resting on the personalized ring tray and waiting to be exchanged. The same design is featured on the handmade wedding candle: it, too, is inscribed with the couple’s initials and the wedding date. On the back of the candle, you’ll also discover a little love note with the words “You will forever be my always.”

The bride’s wedding dress is a two-piece ensemble. The top exudes simple elegance with an A-line neckline and puff sleeves. A high slit in the fitted skirt allows for greater freedom of movement and perfectly rounds out the entire outfit. The groom provides a black contrast and adds white accents with his shirt and pocket square.

The bridal bouquet shines in the purest white, featuring hydrangeas tied closely together, and takes on a classic round shape. A long white ribbon adorns the bottom of the bouquet, blending discreetly with the look of the bride’s shoes.

Black platters showcase the small black-and-white delicacies, which are just waiting to be sampled by curious pastry lovers. The two-tiered wedding cake towers above the wide selection of sweets. It, too, captivates with its minimalist design, featuring both dark and light elements. The cake is adorned with individual black macarons. Guests who prefer to help themselves once things have quieted down at the sweet table can use the time to record a message for the bride and groom. An audio guestbook in the form of a vintage telephone is available for this purpose.

Magnificent bouquets take center stage on the table. Various white flowers tower upward, and black lagurus provides the perfect contrast. Black candlesticks with twisted candles stand among the flowers. Transparent place cards, stamped with a black wax seal, are nestled on white, artfully folded napkins.

This inspiration creates a cohesive whole. Starting with the venue, which is predominantly white and features simple black accents. Impressive glass walls and unique photo spots—such as the elevator—make the Montforthaus the perfect venue for this concept. The details in the decor, stationery, and floral arrangements all speak the same language, and on top of that, the selection of modern accessories adds a unique touch to an already well-rounded concept. A successful inspiration that impresses with its understated elegance and outstanding sense of modern sophistication.
