Our famous princess Maxima married to crown-prince Willem Alexander in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam (02-02-2002).
We had a beautiful wedding there as well: the final for our 1984 Nieuwe Kerk fashion-show. And it was the very first fashion-show and wedding ever in this beautiful old church!!
We built a huge 25 feet high drapery out of textile and epoxy to freely stand (no strings attached 😉 ) in front of the Choir Screen (1645). This drapery had to give a softer feeling to the overall strict atmosphere of the church.
The bridal dress was inspired by the sculpture and it gave us a headache to design the dress looking like it’s bigger sample. Linda Spierings, than a world-famous model, did a spectacular performance in the dress which was made up to her size. The almost 2000 guests got very excited and the Carmina Burana never sounded better! Have a look for yourself !
There is a lot more to tell about this show, we’ll keep it for another time, but you can also check our previous post: ‘Show 1984’.
This picture was our invitation starring: “The Curtain” (which had to be transported by a crane out of the workshop), Linda and… the two of us on motorbike!
