German fashion influencer Leonie Hanne married Aleksandar Galijevski in London, in an intimate civil ceremony at the Dorchester hotel. The couple is already planning a bigger wedding in Italy, but they chose the British capital first for their closest circle.

For the day ceremony, Hanne picked the "Ginger" model by the Ukrainian bridal brand Milla Nova. A satin silk dress with asymmetric straps, a mermaid silhouette, draped detailing, accentuated stitching on the corset and a detachable train. She styled it with a shawl around the neck, custom shoes by Aquazzura and jewellery by Chopard. Simple, but not ordinary.

The room was decorated in whites and beiges. Jo Malone candles on the tables. Pale floral arrangements. Textiles designed by Creusa Studio. All in the spirit of educated discretion - less Vegas, more London.

For the reception, Hanne changed into a creation by Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika. Strapless décolletage, with fine pearls and discreet embroidery - the combination that has become the signature of his evening bridal designs in recent years.

The guest list was mixed, but three names from British high society stood out for many - Lady Kitty Spencer, granddaughter of Princess Diana, in a "green pearl" shade. And the twins Lady Amelia (green halter dress) and Lady Eliza Spencer (yellow strapless dress) - all from the Spanish-British branch of the Spencer family. The wedding was also attended by actor Ed Westwick with his wife Amy Jackson, who married in 2024.

For Balkan readers who treat weddings as serious business, this is a wedding with an interesting message. The couple did not stage a spectacle, did not invite thousands, did not give three-page magazine interviews. And yet - with one name, two dresses, and one location, they turned the whole fashion world around. That is what many Balkan families fail to grasp: a smaller budget does not mean a smaller wedding. Sometimes less mass means more real presence of the guests. That is the lesson Hanne brings out of the Dorchester - not new, but rarely applied lately.
