Northern Lights and Silk Dreams - Get ready with Johanna Thuringer

There are weddings that make you pause... and then there’s Johanna Thuringer’s ethereal summer celebration in Sweden, where modern elegance meets Nordic magic. The New York City-based model returned to her Scandinavian roots for a wedding that felt as intimate as it was unforgettable. Set against the beauty of the Swedish archipelago, Johanna created a series of events to celebrate with family and friends: a vision of clean lines, natural light, and minimalism with soul.

And at the center of it all? The effortlessly stunning Phoebe Gown.

A Bridal Prelude

Before the ceremony, Johanna kicked off her nuptials with a weekend-long bachelorette celebration that captured the very essence of Nordic summer.

For this occasion, she chose the Phoebe Gown, for a modern halter look, crafted in 100% silk satin. The gown reflected Johanna’s personal style: refined, intentional, and effortless.

How To Style

 Johanna styled her gown with minimal jewelry, hair in cascading waves for an effortless and natural bridal look to complement the garden setting.

We chatted to designer and founder Angela to get her styling tips for the Phoebe gown: "To complement the high neck halter feature of the Phoebe gown, I would pair it with a statement earring. This is a nice moment to add some colour to your bridal look with an emerald or sapphire drop earring, or for a more traditional look you can't go wrong with pearls in a gold setting."

To complete the look, we have rounded up some of the key bridal shoe trends of 2025, from refined pointed mules, to statement heeled sandals and a textural silk trend that is emerging that works back beautifully with a simple tulle veil or sheer accents and overlays.
