Dubrovnik Wedding Planner – Yes I Du
FIRST THINGS FIRST Couples often do not know where to start. Due to the excitement, bride and groom usually focus on all those sweet details which require attention only after solving the key elements that form the basis of any wedding. ADVICE: The first step is to choose your ideal location, set a date and set the limits of your budget, as well as to decide the type of the ceremony (civil, church or symbolic) you would like to have. COMPROMISE It is very important that both, bride and groom participate in the creation of the concept of the ideal wedding. You can write down all your wishes and ideas on a piece of paper, and afterwards you should select those which are most important for both of you. It is important to leave some space for the wishes your parents, especially if they are financially participating in your wedding. ADVICE: Compromise is a key component in balancing the expectations, desires and possibilities. FIND A LOCAL WEDDING PLANNER Be sure you know who is who in the process of planning, organization and coordination of the wedding day. If you have chosen the wedding planner to help you with the wedding, professionals will take care of all the details, you will have time to relax and spend quality time with your guests. ADVICE: It is hard to organize a destination wedding from abroad. Local wedding planners can save you both time and money especially when it comes to choosing vendors. ROLES Your guests are guests, and we highly advise to engage business professionals for all the services. ADVICE: Many couples engage friends for certain roles on their wedding day (you have a friend who is a DJ or a friend who can take photos, etc.) and it usually results with disappointment because the guest will not feel as a guest on your wedding and you, on the other hand, will not have a professional person who can fullfil everything what is expected from him/her. BACK-UP OPTION You have chosen a beach for your dream day. Everything is perfect, the sun is shining, palm trees look just perfect – and all of the sudden, it starts raining! And you? Do you have everything ready for the bad weather and unpredictable situations? ADVICE: Always be sure to have a ready back-up option in case of a bad weather. MUSIC It is important to pay attention to the dynamics of the entire event. Music as the basis of each party must be diverse, adapted to the space and to the guests you have invited. ADVICE: Make sure to choose a different type of music for the ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner. PROGRAM Too long program and too many speeches within the formal dinners can have the opposite effect and ‘shut down’ entertainment. Each speech should not be more than 3 minutes long. ADVICE: Sitting down for too long and having many speeches which last for too long can ‘’kill’’ the party. CONCEPT, DESIGN AND DECORATION You have lots of ideas and inspirations, but do not know how to tie everything together into a unified whole? Create a ‘mood board’ – all the details and ideas put into one place and pay attention that they are compatible. ADVICE: Design and decoration must be unified with the space where the wedding takes place and your wedding dress, hairstyle, make-up, flowers, cake and all details should be a part of this unified concept. PRIORITIES Be sure to think carefully and define priorities – make sure that your budget is well distributed and that you have enough resources for those elements which are really important to you. Someone’s priority is good photographer, somebody else wants good music, and someone will ignore both of these elements and choose the best food and drinks. ADVICE: Choose your priorities and stick to them! Do not forget about each other during the whole process and do not neglect your relationship. Have time to enjoy a romantic dinner, or have fun with your friends … without mentioning the Wedding You are getting married because you want to celebrate the love you feel for each other. Let this always be your guiding principle. With this in mind, planning your wedding will be a real pleasure! Dubrovnik Wedding Planner – Yes I Du Your Dubrovnik Wedding Photographer

Dubrovnik Wedding – Eva and Greg
Eva and Greg Dubrovnik Wedding | Eva and Greg met thousands of miles away from one other. They spent time over the period of a year simply writing and exchanging thoughts on everything from mediocre importance like favorite foods and the news or of monumental importance like kids and religion. Their words and their conversations turned into something more. This courtship separated by countless miles became commitment. A commitment from Greg to travel to Germany and a commitment from Eva to risk everything on this lumbering monster of a man. (lol) The first time they met in Germany during most would say the surroundings were unfit to stoke the fires of everlasting love. Words like cold, harsh, unforgiving were used to describe the weather and surroundings that fall and winter, but Eva and Greg’s love broke through. They suffered annoyance and happiness from the typical hurdles new couples’ experience, moving in together, learning each other’s rhythms, and encouraging each other’s passions. Inevitably Eva and Greg came to a major decision in their relationship. Could they trust each other enough to welcome a new member of their yet to be solidified family? The answer was yes and they chose the Dogo Argentino. The Dogo Argentino is a beautiful headstrong dog that was developed in Argentina. The breeder wanted a dog that would exhibit steadfast bravery and willingly protect its human companions to the death. This was really the true point at which Eva and Greg made an eternal commitment to one another. Cooper their now two and a half year old boy continued to teach Eva and Greg the meaning of trust, unconditional love, and forgiveness the essential parts of any marriage and it is from his commitment to be at their sides, that they too strengthened their commitment to each other. Within a year of bringing Cooper into their lives Greg knew it was time to ask for Eva’s hand in marriage. He nervously spent a day with Eva’s father Siegfried, mother Doris, and Brother Johannes to ask permission and was thankfully given it without incident. Soon after Greg planned to take Eva back to the U.S. and ask the big question, but hardship struck at the worst time. Greg’s Grandfather passed away and Eva was quickly thrown into a scenario where she would have to experience Greg at his worst and also his Father Richard, Mother Michele, and brothers Rick and Mike’s worst of times. Eva carried Greg’s sorrow and fear as her own and through the sadness of this event, the beauty of two people promising their unspoken matters of the heart gave everyone glimmer of hope. The Wedding was set but, “Why Dubrovnik?” one would ask. Eva a German Woman and Greg an American Man had no connection to this city, no history with the Croatian people. Their decision mimicked the tale of their love. They simply fell head over heels in love with the city after only one trip there. Their first visit walking in the old town, dipping in the Adriatic Sea, and sharing the unforgettable sunsets together mimicked exactly what the perfect wedding should have. Dubrovnik has natural beauty and is a constant reminder of the countless couples who devoted their love to one another through time. They declared their love in front of family, friends, God Almighty, and yes also Cooper eternally and forever on September 24th 2015.

Intimate Dubrovnik Wedding
Intimate Dubrovnik Wedding | For a very long period of my life I have been asking myself in concern – what if I meet a man of my dreams and it turns out he loves huge classical, traditional weddings? But then after a while, I realized that’s impossible! Guess what, I was right! My dreams about the perfect wedding have always been like this – sea, beach, sun, happiness, relaxation, smiles, no pressure, no obligations, no tradition, no fear, no prejudices… I really, really don’t like statements like: ‘That’s a tradition!’, ‘That’s the way things work!’, ‘That’s the rule’ and ‘Everyone does this, we have to do it, too!’. So in the end, we had the smallest wedding possible. Why? We both wanted a very small wedding. A wedding under the open sky, beautiful sights all over, lots of flowers, many candles.. We’ve been working on this for about half a year. All have been pretty complicated, not only for us, but also for some of our guests. Nevertheless, it was a dream come true and I would like to share it with you. When it was time to decide on the wedding destination, it was very easy to agree that Dubrovnik is the perfect destination for our wedding story. Why? Simply because.. it is a beautiful town. This probably sounds cheap, but it really is one of the most gorgeous places on Earth. It’s million times more beautiful place to get married than, for example, very popular Maldives. Maldives, like most of the other famous places in the world offer only the white sandy beaches while Dubrovnik offers much much more. You can have your own god mother and god father, not a hotel personnel that will work this assignment for you. In Dubrovnik your wedding is legal, not just a paper signed by the hotel wedding planner which you have to validate someplace else! Don’t know if you knew this before but on Maldives, you can only have your wedding photos taken there, but if you want a valid wedding, you have to do it someplace else! Don’t get me wrong. We can’t wait to go to Maldives, for our honeymoon! 😉 Our special day started just as an ordinary day would, without the anxiety, early hair do, make up, running around trying to fit the schedule. No, no way! Our wedding day started with a simple breakfast followed by the fun on the beach. Around 1 pm, the photographer called asking where to meet us. He was very, very surprised and shocked to realize that we’re at the beach, swimming and sunbathing. Yes, that was our plan – to get the photographer who will capture us the way we are, without hours and hours of putting on make up and trying to strike the perfect pose. From the beginning, we had a really great feeling about the photographers we’ve chosen. They seemed very trustworthy and just the right kind of people for my plan! We finally met at 2:30 pm, after just one simple hotel hairdressing. Make up continued in a room, in front of the cameras. I admit, I was a little nervous back in that moment! The make up artist took too much time for everything and it made me nervous because all I wanted was just a little make up and a natural look. But in the end, she did a great job and I have to congratulate her. Even the strong sun didn’t do any harm to my make up! Soon my beautiful flowers and my wedding bouquet arrived. What a thrill! Honestly, it was the most beautiful romantic bouquet I have ever seen! Peonies, small roses, house leeks… I adore house leeks, they protect us, they are decorative, in great green color fit perfectly into my pastel bouquet. And when the time came to put on the most important dress of my life I realized, no woman should marry without the real wedding dress. That dress gives the perfect feeling! When I first saw this one dress made by Mihano Momosa, from Novi Sad, Serbia, I knew right away that one day I want to get married in one of his dresses. The best part is that both of us worked on the perfect dress just for me for the most beautiful day of my life. Our wedding rings were locked in the padlock, symbolizing padlocks people put on bridges locking their love for each other, for all eternity. Yes, it is exactly what you think! I believe that we will chain our love in Zurich, at the river Limmat, place where my love ask me to marry him. Our wedding rings were designed according to our wishes and hand made only for us by my friend from childhood. I fell in love at first sight to the place where we got married, too. When we got there and saw everything ready for the wedding, I cowered. I was stepping slowly with my god mother and then I saw my loved one waiting for me. I will never forget her words on our short path: ‘I will kill you because of this!’ Maybe this sounds funny now, but I knew what she meant because everything was so beautiful, romantic and full of emotions in the air that it was hard to believe we were are actually there. You think you are in the movie and have to make an effort not to cry! And very soon, we became Mr and Mrs. It is the best feeling, belonging to someone, not by birth, not by blood, not by nature but by your personal choice. Wishing to unselfishly give all you have! The most beautiful moments in life are usually hard to describe, but I have tried to express all the beauty and emotions. It is almost impossible to find just one word to describe all the emotions and happiness we had. We often want to go back to that day and feel everything
Vesna sposa vjenčanice – elegancija i stil bez premca
Vesna SPOSA vjenčanice – elegancija i stil bez premca | Ako ste se već odavno vjenčali ili vam vjenčanje još nije ni na pameti, ipak ste vjerojatno čuli za vjenčanice Vesna SPOSA. Teško je previdjeti ovu priču iz bajke jer radi se o vjenčanicama koje odišu elegancijom i stilom, a također su ih na sebe navukle i neke od najpoznatijih i naljepših Hrvatica, primjerice Aleksandra Grdić i Jelena Orešković, a pjevačica grupe Colonia, Indira Levak ambasadorica je tvrtke Vesna SPOSA. Naime, Indira ne nedavno udala, a upravo je za taj veliki dan u životu izabrala jednu iz kolekcije vjenčanica Vesna SPOSA. Osim toga, Indira za mnoge svoje javne nastupe bira upravo haljine iz kolekcije ove tvrtke, a ambasadorica je za kolekciju PANTHEA 2015. Čipka je jedan od domantnih uzoraka na haljinama Vesna SPOSA, a sve se to izvrsno uklapa u energične i seksipilom nabijene nastupe Indire Levak. Tvrtka ‘Made in Croatia’ ima svoje trgovine u nekoliko hrvatskih gradova, Zagrebu, Rijeci, Splitu, Karlovcu i Varaždinu. Primarna su im djelatnost haljine za vjenčanja, međutim u ponudi imaju i veoma širok raspon večernjih haljina, potom raskošnih haljina za djevojčice te raznih ukrasa za vjenčanice. U svojim veličanstvenim i elegantnim modelima uvijek prate trendove pa primjerice – jeste li znali da je trenunto trend što se tiče vjenčanja – tetoviranje čipkom? Dakako, uvjetno bismo to mogli nazvati tetoviranjem jer zapravo se radi o tome da su IN vjenčanice koje određene dijelove tijela, ponajviše leđa, prekriju samo lijepo izrađenim dijelom čipke pa se tako dobija dojam da su mladenkina leđa tetovirana ovim nježnim i prije svega senzualnim materijalom. Ovaj trend uvele su neke od najpoznatijih svjetskih tvrtki koje se bave vjenčanicama, primjerice Maggie Sottero, Pronovias i Atelier Pronovias, ali ni modeli Vesna SPOSA ne zaostaju baš nimalo. Ovome u prilog ide i još jedna bajkovita priča koja nam stiže iz ove domaće tvrtke, a zove se Vogue Fashion Night Out koji se dogodio 16. rujna u Parizu, mogli bismo reći, središtu svjetske mode. Noć mode osmislio je prestižni časopis Vogue, a biti gost i sudjelovati na jednom takvom događaju doista je nešto što uspijeva samo rijetkima. A uspjelo je upravo Vesni SPOSI. Događaj je to na kojem se kreira moda za nadolazeću sezonu, udanjuju trendovi i iskustvo je kojim se rijetko tko može pohvaliti ne samo iz Hrvatske već i s područja bivše Jugoslavije. Osim na ovom prestižnom događaju, Vesna SPOSA redovito sudjeluje na najvažnijim modnim događajima u Hrvatskoj, primjerice Fashion.hr. Također, tvrtka redovito nabavlja haljine za najrazličitije javne događaje i osobe pa je tako Miss Universe 2014. godine, Ivana Mišura također snimila editorial u haljinama ovog branda. Uz ovo, Vesna SPOSA redovito pokazuje svoje haljine u različitim domaćim časopisima koji se bave modom, sudjeluje na festivalima i sajmovima, primjerice na Sajmu vjenčanja u Opatiji, a također i posuđuje svoje veličanstvene haljine raznim zvijezdama, prije svega pjevačicama, za snimanje video spotova. U ovom modnoms studiju, osim što možete kupiti već sašivene haljine, bilo vjenčanice, bilo kakve druge svečane haljine, također možete i dati izraditi odjeću po mjeri. Možete birati neke od najfinijih, najelegantnijih i najsenzulanijih materijala kojima raspolažu, primjerice – muslin, svila, saten, čipka. Odlučite li se za taj korak šivanja haljina po mjeri, dobit ćete i svoju modnu savjetnicu koja će vas brižno, baš poput anđela čuvara, voditi kroz sve korake nastanka haljine koja se rodila u vašoj mašti. Dakle, Vesna SPOSA je tvrtka s hrvatskim potpisom koja se i u ovim teškim vremenima krize i besparice može pohvaliti pozitivnim brojkama. Ovo je jedna od rijetkih uspješnih poslovnih priča iz Hrvatske te pokazatelj da elegancija i stil nikada ne umiru. Naprotiv, s vremenom postaju još bolji, baš kao vino!
