Hinki and Etin had absolutelly stunning wedding in Prague, their big day was featured also in Hong Kong edition of Elle magazine!
Couple stayed at lovely apartments in the city centre, where their big day started traditional Chinese tea ceremony.
Later on all moved to Vrtbovska garden, where Hinki and Etin received blessing. It is always pleasure for couple and photographer to enjoy photos at Vrtbovska garden, so pretty there….
Couple used horse and carriage to take more photos, while the other guests walked to Mandarin Oriental. Cocktails and canapees were served, guests enjoeyd lovely garden while waiting for the couple.
Hinki changed her dress for festive entrance to the Grand ballroom, where the dinner was served after couple of speeches. Lovely turquoise dress was used for the first dance, couple trained really hard. We cut the cake later and after it was already time to leavem since the couple left i their honeymoon early in the morning.
Dominika and Kenny got married in June couple years ago. From the first skype call I knew this will be special wedding. Dominika has her design blog, loves beautiful things and also studied design.
Dominika was born in the US, but her parents are originally from Slovakia, Kenny has German and US parents, so weddings guests were mix from all these countries.
It was pretty easy to choose vendors, Dominika used the top from wedding market here. Also it was pretty easy to decide for the ceremony and reception venue, Villa Richter is amazing place with one of the best views in Prague.
Bride with bridesmaids and mums got ready at Villa Richter, logistically it was much easier and they didn´t have to worry about dress getting wrinkled in a car.
To describe a bit design – modern, elegant, fresh whimsical style:
– colours – white, cream in shades, soft pink in shades, peach in shades, orange, leaf green, copper and gold in accent, paradise colours
– ceremony arch was a bit more modern, less typical shape, at the last moment we decided to change the chair colour for the ceremony
– white furniture to create lounge area during the cocktail at the vineyard and also later in the evening on the terrace
– to make cocktail more classy, we served canapees before ceremony, after the ceremony finger food, cheese bar with selection of French cheeses and Iberico ham cut by chef. Special cocktail for Her and Him was created by Villa´s bartender.
– frames decorated by fresh flowers were used instead of photobooth, photos were taken by Polaroid and inserted into the guest book
– greenery wall used instead of traditional seating plan
– mix of round and long ables were used for the reception, dance floor in the middle
– beautiful golden cutlery and glass charger plates
– we used Villa´s greenery as a background for sweet bar
– cigar corner with fine whiskey and cognac on the terrace
Music plays an important role, classical trio performed during the ceremony and cocktail, band during the dinner and DJ commenced for night party. Breaks between the courses were filled by speeches and dances.
Cake and sweet bar was opened for the dessert time and after that we moved to Piano Nobile for late party.
We really love and enjyoed this wedding, not just for the design, but also because of such a nice people at the wedding.
Dominika and Kenny, wishing you lots of love and happiness!
Lucy and Serge live in Beirut, Lebanon. but Lucy has also czech roots and this is why they decided to get married here.
Lucy is owner of travel agency and travels ot Prague occasionally, so we had a chance to visit different locations aroud Prague, which was couples preference. Lucy just falled in love with Capi hnizdo, luxury farm nearby Prague, where you can easily spend lovely day.
We decided for the following plan – the whole day started by blessing at St. Nicholas church. Couple spent some time by taking photos after the blessing and civil ceremony at the Old Town Hall followed short after. Althought we told guests that they do not need to join the civil ceremony if they do not want, everyone showed up!
Most of the guests stayed at Intercontinental hotel, so the buses picked up guests there. Newlyweds continued to take photos around Prague and joined us a bit later. Guests enjoyed canapees, cocktails, walked around the area – there is amazing lake, little ZOO, playground for children etc.
Lucy and Serge wanted to enter the reception area on horses, like Cinderella. Guests absolutelly didn´t expect it and loved it! The guests were invited to the reception area to get seated, but outside stayed closest friends of the couple. Not forget to mention – couple brought their DJ from Beirut. Very good DJ who ordered technical equipment that could easily serve party for 1000 people! What a sound, amazing!
We really liked the entrance of the newlyweds – first entered groom with his friends by traditional song and dancing, waiting for bride and her friends. They entered the same way and all guests made a circle around newlyweds to hold them in the air on the chairs.
Dinner started after this special entrance, couple decided for less formal buffet style. One big wish was from the groom – serve double shots from the beginning. Lucy and Serge really wanted the best for their guests.
Daddy cool – special song for bride and father dance was played during the dinner. Lucy has great relationship with her father and this song was for him.
Cake was cut later in the evening and after it were already ready buses that took guests back to Prague. Many guests left the day after, so coupe decided not to stay at Capi hnizdo and go back to Prague.
Lucy and Serge, you are amazing and will always stay in our hearts!
We were looking for the wedding of Klara and Chris many months. Klara was born in Czech Republic, but has been living in the US for many years, Chris is American. They didn´t manage to come to Prague before the wedding day, so they left everything on us and we discussed the whole wedding via email and phone calls.
Guests arrived from all around the world, so we started all the celebrations by pre-wedding dinner at White Horse, lovely place at the Old Town Square. just before I arranged for them rehearsal at Villa´s Richter vineyard and honestly, I was really blessing that the weather will get better. We stayed at the vineyard in terrible rain, cold weather and noone believed it will get better….But – as in most of the cases – good luck was on our side and rain was over and even sun shined a bit on Saturday.
Beautiful ceremony at the vineyard was followed by cocktail in the garden and then reception at the tent of Villa Richter. We made classical american entrance – guests were seated first, then entered parents followed by bridesmaids and ushers and then finally newlyweds – all announced by DJ. They enjoyed their first dance immediatelly and after welcome speech dinner was served. The breaks between the courses were filled either by speeches or dancing.
At the end of the dinner couple cut the cake and DJ commenced at the Piano Nobile. Lots of drinks, evening snack and sweets and mainly dancing – that was the aim till the late night.
Klara and Chris, looking forward to our drink in Prague.
Sincerelly yours,
Andrea
