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,

⚠️ If you’re planning a Lake Como wedding… read this before you book anything.

Not every villa is right.
Not every view translates into a flawless wedding.

In this 2.5-min tour, I’m breaking down the venues everyone talks about.

Because in Lake Como, the difference isn’t the location. It’s the strategy.

Winning WPIC Destination Wedding Planner of the Year feels especially meaningful this year. This journey started with my own wedding in Italy 16 years ago. With such a distinguished panel of judges, this recognition carries a quiet weight — one that I hold with deep gratitude.

Behind every destination wedding week abroad is not just design and logistics, but a family making it possible.

To my husband — who holds everything together at home while I travel — and to the grandmas who step in with endless love… this honour belongs to you too.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your most intimate celebrations, far from home. To be welcomed into your wedding world abroad is the greatest privilege of my work.

And to my fellow planners and creative partners around the world — your generosity, collaboration, and kindness are what elevate this industry we love.

This award is shared. 🤍

Trruly honoured to be nominated for the WEMA Circle Awards 🤍
This one feels different.

After years of building celebrations across cultures, borders, and generations, being recognised on a global stage that values integrity, craftsmanship, and intention means more than I can say. No politics. No pay-to-play. Just real work, seen and acknowledged by peers who understand what goes into every detail behind the scenes.

WEMA represents the kind of industry I believe in — inclusive, global, and rooted in respect for both the craft and the people who pour their hearts into it.

Grateful to stand alongside wedding professionals around the world who continue to raise the bar with purpose, care, and authenticity.
