Anna & Mark getting married in Dubrovnik...

With some people you just click. It was exactly like that with Anna and Mark, an Australian couple I met a couple of years prior to their wedding in August 2012. Young, beautiful, high spirited, open minded and incredibly charming, both of them had the same vision of the wedding plus Mark wanted to make sure Anna will get everything she ever dreamed of for her special day. Just a perfect start....


Anna is a yoga master, so her wedding day started with a private yoga class with her bridesmaids and our Dubrovnik yoga teacher Tina. It yet another was a perfect start - of the wedding day this time.... Anna and the girls had their spray tan done by our Dubrovnik spray tan specialist Katie a couple of days before the wedding and this is when the preparations started off. Mark on the other hand took the guys and arranged with us a private safari tour in Konavle valley region on a Sunday morning, the day before the wedding.
Everyone had their own thing and everyone just loved it....


It was hot summer day and the garden of the Grand Villa Argentina hotel was just ready to honorably host the wedding ceremony of Anna and Mark. What most people don't know is that only a couple of weeks before the wedding the venue Anna and Mark had booked cancelled the event due to unforeseen circumstances and we had to change the venue. Luckily, their dream venue was available - the Villa Sheherezada, one and only, Dubrovnik's well known trademark....


And so it started. Their beautiful wedding story....
The wedding ceremony was more than touching and there was no dry eye around us, including the groom. They exchanged their vows in front of 50 closest family and friends, who traveled from all over the world to share with them those special moments....





After the ceremony was ended, a more relaxed vibe got among the newlyweds and the guests and the boat picked up the guests from a private pier of the hotel for a sunset panoramic cruise before the reception. If you plan your Dubrovnik wedding, do make sure to incorporate this segment into it as it is by far the most memorable experience for most of the guests. Simply- everyone just loves it!


While the guests enjoyed the panoramic views of Dubrovnik's Old town and city walls, enchanted by the breeze and sunny day, Anna and Mark went for the photo session around the walled town and had a bit of time on their own- so important on that day- make sure you never forget to do that as the day flies by and you mingle with guests you barely see each other properly, and it is in the end to be a day of the two of you...



Guests were taken back to the hotel where Anna and Mark waited for them with delicacies prepared by the famous hotel's Chef Thierry Carouel, a French with a true feel for the food. Cocktails were served to everyone and the day could not just beb any better.





As the sun came down, it was time for the dinner to start too. Everything was ready for the stunningly beautiful reception and people could not hide the awe when they walked on to the villa grounds...




Anna and Mark were welcomed by the cheers of their guests and their favorite song and speeches were held shortly afterwards, just before the dinner was to start.





Fun, love and laughter continued till morning hours, dancing and balloon ceremony at the end, making a wish for the newlyweds and releasing a balloon into the clear Dubrovnik skies....
Such a perfect day....








Party continued in the East West Beach club for those wanting to dance some more and the rest went to take a rest before the next day's BBQ held on Villa Ruza and amazingly beautiful and quiet island of Kolocep. Another perfect day.


It was a perfect couple, a perfect plan and a perfect wedding. What more could we have wished for? Thank you so much Anna and Mark for having us as a part of your special story. We will never forget you or your beautiful wedding.... we wish you to stay as happy as you were that day... the 27th of August 2012...
With love,
Your Wedding Planners :)
