«My wedding dress is a work of art, without exaggeration. I first saw some ideas and tried to find a designer, and in the end, the golden hands and talent of designer Helen Kuzh brought this dress to life. It turned out even better than I expected. It’s a strict classic with an unusual asymmetry, allowing me to be both sophisticated, elegant, and very feminine at the same time. The second dress – a short cocktail dress with a flirty design – was perfect for the lively after-party.»
«We chose the wedding style right away – I’ve always loved eucalyptus. It’s elegant yet simple and refined. Andrew, on the other hand, prefers a natural, light theme. So, we opted for an elegant classic style with touches of Mediterranean charm. As for the bouquet, it had to be fresh, subtly bright, and delicate. That’s why we chose peonies, eucalyptus, soft-colored roses, and some accents. Since we had already selected the color scheme for the wedding, our guests also adhered to it in their attire. The décor was designed to complement this.»
«Having my family and closest friends by my side while the man of my life read his vows to me. We’re living in a hard time and should cherish precious moments like this. Saying Yes! to my love is my favorite moment to start our new journey.»
«What I remember most are the always fresh flowers and the menu, which we designed in the shape of a fan. It was both practical and beautiful! The flowers in Crete don’t wilt as quickly, so I was able to enjoy them long after the wedding.»
«Don’t panic and trust your instincts. Be true to yourself and choose what brings you joy. If you have the option of a wedding planner, definitely take advantage of it! And trust your planner! A close connection and understanding of your vision will allow you to enjoy the emotions, while the planner professionally handles all the organization.»
