So, you’ve decided to forego the elaborate wedding and head straight to the courthouse. Seems simple enough, right? Ally thought so, too. But when she decided to call off her big wedding and opt for city hall nuptials, she was surprised by how little information was out there about how to plan a wedding in Berlin. That's why we have put together a "Wedding Berlin map" of things you should know before and while ;) getting married. But today I would like to give you some wedding tips in Berlin that you might not have yet on your list.
Wedding rings
With a lot of love for and attention to detail, you will find your ideal wedding ring in a cosy atmosphere and with personal advice. Popular traditional ring designers and brands that produce exclusively in Germany are usually available with a very large selection of sample rings on site. At Juwelier Fidan, in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, you can have sample rings customised with a configurator or have special requests implemented in their own goldsmith's shop. Another tip for this wedding spot is that there are regular sales and events with up to 20% discount.

Wedding photos
For Sophie from Ganz in Weise, wedding photography is a dream come true. For her, it captures people during the important moments in their lives and enshrines these precious moments into pictures forever. As a great Berlin based wedding photographer, she does this in a very natural, emotional and unobtrusive way. At weddings, her photography is usually invisible to guests and yet she still manages to document all the small and important details of the wedding day. For big Berlin weddings, you can also book Sophie along with another of her colleagues, so that your collection of wedding pictures will be even more extensive.
