Waves of Love: An Outdoor Wedding at Lake Wolfgang

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” This quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn applies not only to life—but especially to Ruth and Franz’s wedding. Because even though the planning phase has its share of ups and downs, everyone stays calm. And in the end, it’s time to celebrate—with a view of the lake, champagne in hand, and the sun on their faces.

Ruth is from the Baltic Sea region, and Franz, like her, loves the water and water sports—it quickly becomes clear: Their wedding is going to be a laid-back celebration with beach vibes! An independent wedding ceremony right by the lake, a relaxed reception with sushi and a jazz band, an atmospheric evening with a view of mountains and water.

They choose a tent wedding at Lake Wolfgang—a place that promises freedom and lightheartedness. But life sometimes changes course—just like wild water. Shortly before the big day, the wedding ceremony location has to be moved. Now it’s all about a new dock, a boat shuttle, and plenty of flexibility. What remains is the feeling that everything will work out! Especially thanks to the wedding planner’s level-headed approach. And a bride and groom who simply go with the flow.

On the big day, the boat takes the guests to the lakeside meadow, followed by a champagne pyramid and daytime dancing. Light fabrics, coral tones, summery flowers, and a curtain of blossoms in the tent make the celebration complete. And as Ruth and Franz gaze deeply into each other’s eyes on the lakeside dock, they know: This is what happiness feels like—like a wave you just ride along with.
