Diana & Alexander planned a very personal and traditional wedding weekend at the Groom's family estate, Noormarkun Ruuki in Pori, Finland. The property can be described as a spectacular compound with lush gardens and scenic views. They worked with planners Nord & Mae to put together a multi-day party (including a lovely postnuptial brunch!) that was all about their 105 guests—which is ultimately why they decided to bypass many big-day traditions. They put the estate's gorgeous grounds on full display by sticking to a minimalist color palette and in keeping with Scandinavian design.
