From Glasgow, Scottland
A Scottish party of 25
Location: Lokrum Island

Why Dubrovnik?
We had always planned to visit Dubrovnik. When considering the wedding
at home the cost was becoming too much with my famly being very large
and I was struggling to reduce the numbers. So we starting looking
into a wedding abroad, and Dubrovnik looked beautiful. Not too far
on the plane lots to see and lovely weather.
What were your feelings the morning of the wedding?
I felt quite nervous and excited at the same time. We went to Dubrovnik
Palace hotel to get our hair styled and my makeup done. Since I hadn't
had a hair trial I was a bit nervous on how it would turn out, but
the girls in the hair dressers were amazing. My only problem was that
I had no where to put my dress on, as the women at reception told
me this would not be possible to use a room. Thankfully the hairdresser
saved the day and took me past the women at reception to a private
room where we got changed.
Did you have a wedding theme / colour theme?
Lilacs and Pinks
Was planning a wedding abroad more complicated than planning
a wedding at home?
Definately not Nina was fantastic always returned emails with the
simplest of questions never felt stressed during the planning.
What was the feedback you received on your wedding?
We had a thunderstorm break out an hour before the ceremony so our
venue had to be changed at the last minute so I never knew where we
were getting married until I arrived on the Island. All the guests
said they were so frightened I was going to be upset. However when
I walked into the old monastry with the peacocks shouting it was breathtaking.
From then on everyone had an amazing time. It stoppped raining and
the sun came out just in time for our drinks reception on the boat.
Did you go over your planned budget?
Went over our budget slightly but well worth it.
Do you think you would have spent more or less if you were
to organise a wedding at home?
We would have spent more at home.

I found Nina fantastic she was easy to talk to and could sense when you were stresssed. I managed to arrive late on the wedding day in between a storm and she walked with me from the boat up to the cermony with an umbrella calming my nerves all the way, she was fantstic. Very friendly put us at ease from the moment we met her.
