\"Macrame<\/p>\n

Now here is a wedding with style folks, which has all the key trends from this year by the way; macram\u00e9, pampas grass, a Persian rug aisle and bohemian styling, but it of course has all<\/em> the emotions and a lot<\/em> of love to boot.<\/p>\n

WWW readers Rebeka and \u010crt were married in two ceremonies in a small rural village in\u00a0Slovenia on the 1st September 2018. Their vision was for an outdoorsy day, with an outdoor ceremony surrounded by their loved ones and a stretch tent reception afterwards. I just love all of their boho styling choices, it all looked effortlessly cool. The macram\u00e9 and divine protea ribbon adorned bouquet was crafted by\u00a0Rebeka’s mom, the darling watercolour stationery was designed by\u00a0Rebeka and\u00a0Rebeka’s sister helped with the table d\u00e9cor. A truly home-made affair, which really brings warmth and personality to their day. Also keep your eyes peeled for a beautiful floral, brush stroke cake creation and a sweet pup ring bearer.<\/p>\n

Onto the outfits because they were amazing! Rebeka chose a long sleeved lace gown and high bun to show off all the detail of her dress. While \u010crt chose a suit teamed with bow tie and on trend tassel loafers. Didn’t they both look so wonderful?!<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to Maja Tsolo Photography<\/a> for sharing these fabulous images with us today.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

\u010crt proposed to me during a holiday in Croatia, while we were on a boat cruise. It was a very romantic setting. I was lounging on the boat while he was swimming in the sea. He called my name and when I turned around I saw him swimming with the ring in his hand. He made our summer holidays unforgettable.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We love the bohemian style so we wanted to find a venue in Slovenia, which would suit this style. It was really important to us that the venue had plenty of outdoor space as we were planning to host most of our wedding celebrations outdoors. We wanted a simple, small wedding, with a relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The Planning Process<\/h3>\n

It was a lot of work and quite stressful to plan the wedding because we wanted to do as much as possible by ourselves. We spent 4 months working hard on planning everything. It took us a while to find the right venue, we looked at a few places but then decided to go back to the same place my sister got married at 5 years ago. We loved the venue back then and we knew it would be the right place for us too. The outdoor area at Youth Hostel Pliskovica is beautiful, there are fig and olive trees all around and lots of pretty rustic details. Next we booked our photographer. We didn\u2019t have much of a dilemma here, I have followed Maja\u2019s work for some time and loved her style. Another supplier whose work I love is Petra from Pcakes, so we also booked her straight away. Next up we booked the caterer. Quality of the food at the wedding was really important to us, so we found this part quite hard as we considered different suppliers. In the end we booked catering Godec and we made a good decision. The food was very tasty and they were so professional. Next we booked the DJ, the singers and animators. Lastly we focused on all the decorations. Here my mother and sister were of huge help. My mom made all the macram\u00e9 decorations and she also made my wedding bouquet. My sister helped me with the table decorations and I designed our wedding invitations, seating plan, menus and gifts. Among the three of us we took care of all the wedding decorations. Now that I look back it was hard work, but it was worth it.<\/p>\n

Beauty<\/h3>\n

Hair: My best friend \u0160pela Penko, who is a talented hairdresser for MI\u010c Styling salon, made me a perfect messy bun. Because my wedding dress had a lot of detail, I wanted to wear my hair tied up.<\/p>\n

Make up: I did it myself.<\/p>\n

The Wedding Party<\/h3>\n

\u010crt didn\u2019t have any groomsmen, just a best man. We wanted our best man and maid of honour to match the rest of the wedding d\u00e9cor, so they wore clothes in burgundy and dark blue.<\/p>\n

No bridesmaids, just a maid of honour. She wore a custom made dress.<\/p>\n
