Beautiful Macedonian Wedding at Eagles Nest Golf Club as seen on WedLuxe

Looking back at all the weddings in 2018, this particular one is near and dear to my heart.  I’ve been working with our beautiful bride, Ashley, and her wonderful mother for over 2 years on the wedding and so happy to see that it is featured on Weduxe blog.  It is definitely one a fun one down in the books with the all-star vendor team.  There were lots of cultural traditions that made this wedding so special.  The Macedonian band started playing at Ashley’s house in the morning while the families arrived.  The music really uplifted everyone’s mood and the families are already dancing before heading to the church.  Ashley and Lee had their reveal at the backyard and everyone headed to the church together.

 

Ashley’s beautiful dress by Berta was our inspiration for the wedding design.  It’s definitely a showshopper! All the design elements evolved around her dress making it the statement of the wedding. The reception took place at The Eagles Nest Golf Club and more photo session took place on site.  It has so many picturesque locations for photos.

  

Festivities continued throughout the reception.  Breaking of the bread and traditional Macedonian pig dance kicked off the evening after the grand entrance started.  It was a lot of fun coordinating and witnessing it.  Of course Ashley got the bigger piece of the bread and wears the pants in their relationship.

After the bride and groom’s speech, they lead the guests to the terrace to watch the fireworks show and kicked off the dance floor with a Macedonian traditional bread dance.  I hope you enjoyed the story.  I had so much fun being a part of this wedding and should introduce the pig dance to other culture!

xo,

 

Carmen

POV: you’re supposed to be enjoying teamLab Planets… but your event planner brain won’t switch off. 😂 The projections. The music. The scent. The movement. The way every room makes you feel something. I went for the experience and left thinking about the future of weddings and events. Because what if the next big event trend isn’t more décor… but creating a world your guests can actually step into? 👀✨ Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events? #thelukedit #devotedtoyouweddings #TokyoJapan #JapanTravel #ImmersiveExperience Teamlab Planets, EventDesign, WeddingDesign, EventTrends, WeddingTrends, ExperientialDesign DestinationWedding, destination wedding planner

Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events?

Wedding planner content: lighting candles, fixing menus and casually walking around looking put together. ✨ The reality? That’s probably 10% of the job. 😂 The other 90% is happening behind the scenes — nonstop texts and phone calls, weather decisions, last-minute changes, communicating with vendors before they arrive, adjusting timelines and solving things before our couples ever know there was a problem. Those moments are rarely captured because… well, we’re usually too busy doing them. So shoutout to Garbo for catching some of the real action at Amy & Brian’s wedding. 🤍 This is what wedding planning actually looks like.

A day in the life of a wedding planner ✨ Amy & Brian’s wedding day edition. We went back and forth on the rain plan more times than I’d like to admit 🌧️☀️ — but in the end, the weather gave us the most beautiful golden hour, followed by fireworks to close out the night. 🎆 One of my favourite parts of this wedding was bringing a full Chinese catering experience into a venue that doesn’t host this style of service often. It takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — between the venue, caterer, kitchen, rentals and our planning team — to make everything flow seamlessly. And this is exactly the kind of challenge I love. When everyone comes together with professionalism, flexibility and a shared goal of creating the best experience for the couple and their guests, magic happens.

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue. It isn’t the flowers. Or the view. It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling. Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about: • How guests will experience the ceremony • Where the light falls • The flow of the space • The details no one notices—until they’re missing This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes. Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins. 📍venue @maisondubreuil 🌸 floral design @refletsfleurs 🍽️ catering @capdevielle_traiteur 📝 planning & design @devotedtoyou 💌 stationery @blancheheirloom.co 🎥 videography & behind the scenes @yourdaybylucas 📷 photography @ericcheng.photography 💄H&MU @satinestudio 🎨 live illustration @laehuistudio #TheLukEdit #DestinationWeddingPlanner #devotedtoyouweddings #LuxuryWedding #WeddingBehindTheScenes FranceWedding WeddingInspiration LuxuryTravel
