Sarah Wisam Fabricius Persson – the PR powerhouse behind Danish skincare label Rudolph Care – orchestrated a stylish inner-city Copenhagen wedding on an unimaginable timeline, securing and tailoring her vintage look within days of saying "I do"
Some brides spend years planning their wedding, but Copenhagen-based Sarah Wisam Fabricius Persson did it in just two weeks. What was initially intended as a very intimate city hall ceremony with immediate family expanded rapidly into a fuller inner-city celebration. “We had already booked a city town hall ceremony on 13 November because we wanted to get married this year,” Sarah explains. “That date was originally meant for just family and a few close friends.” But two weeks before the wedding, everything shifted. “We found our dream apartment and had to buy it immediately,” she says. “That meant postponing the big Italian wedding, but also expanding our city hall celebration since we didn’t know when the bigger wedding would actually happen.” A sudden pivot ensued. “We went into full planning – and panic – mode,” Sarah laughs.
Sarah married Lasse Fabricius Persson, co-founder of Stellar Group, in mid-November at Copenhagen City Hall, followed by a lunch at Bar Amore, an Italian restaurant the couple had frequented for years. “We’ve had so many date nights there,” Sarah says, and coincidentally my girlfriends had thrown my bachelorette party there the week before. It already felt like part of our life.” The couple met years earlier at a corner café on a first date Sarah nearly cancelled. She was exhausted from finishing her last exam and had little energy for small talk. “My roommates convinced me to go,” she says. “And then we talked for hours. About everything. I knew straight away that he was different.”
