Guest Transportation
To make things as smooth and stress-free as possible, we’ve arranged transportation from Clarion Hotel SeaU to the wedding venue at Sofiero Palace.
🚌 The transfer departs from the hotel at 3:15 PM sharp, so please be outside the entrance to the hotel a few minutes before.
Starting from midnight, we’ve also arranged for taxis back into town, so you won’t have to worry about getting home safely after the celebration.
Just bring your dancing shoes—we’ll take care of the rest!
Gift Registry
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. Truly.
But if you'd still like to give something, we’re incredibly grateful for contributions toward our honeymoon to Thailand, planned for 2026.
💵 Cash contributions are warmly appreciated (there’ll be a discreet box at the wedding).

Our Love Story
Filip and Laura’s story began in 2018 with a Tinder swipe in Newfoundland, Canada—one small moment that changed everything. Casual chats quickly turned into something more, and when Filip moved away soon after, Laura wasn’t far behind. Together, they set off on an adventure through Southeast Asia.
Life kept moving, and so did we. Laura pursued her studies in Copenhagen, while Filip built a home in Helsingborg. Distance had its challenges, but it never stood a chance against us.
Fast forward to today: a home of our own, a two-year-old dog named Bobby, and a trusty Volvo in the driveway. From a digital match to a life built together—this is just the beginning.
Accommodation Information
There are many great hotel options in Helsingborg, all within a comfortable distance from the wedding venue. However, we’ve recently found out that the European Golf Championship will be taking place in Helsingborg the same weekend as our wedding. This means that hotels might book up faster than usual — so if you’re planning to celebrate with us (yay!), we highly recommend booking your stay as soon as possible.
We’ve partnered with Clarion Hotel Sea U, a stylish and modern hotel beautifully located right by the ocean in the heart of the city. If you book through the link below, you’ll receive a 15% discount on the standard rate for the "Compact Moderate" and "Standard Double Room" categories.
Please note:
🛏️ The special rate is only valid for the night of June 27th–28th (if you’re staying longer, the regular rate applies to the additional nights).
📅 The offer is available until May 27th.
It may however be more beneficial to book through Hotels.com or a similar site if you're planning to stay more than one night, as they sometimes offer better multi-night deals.

We kindly ask our guests to dress in an elegant yet comfortable style, suitable for both an outdoor ceremony in the castle gardens and a formal evening celebration indoors.
For men: A suit in any color (dark blue, grey, or beige are great choices), paired with a dress shirt. A tie or bow tie is entirely up to you — feel free to wear one if you’d like!
For women: A festive dress (midi length or longer), an elegant jumpsuit, or a stylish skirt and blouse combination.
Since the ceremony will take place in the castle gardens, we recommend wearing shoes that are suitable for both grass and stone pathways. Light fabrics and summery colors are very welcome!
Most importantly, we want you to feel both elegant and comfortable throughout the day — so choose something that makes you feel your best.
