UNDER THE CHARM OF BOUGAINVILLEA
Here is the wedding storytelling for Irene and Kjell-Haakon with bougainvillea to be more than a backdrop.

It is a symbol—of Mediterranean warmth, of wild beauty, of love that flourishes in sunlight and endures through seasons.
The radiant colors of those ornamental vines are always eye catchers for perfect ambiance design and styling.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mamas!
I was lucky to sign in for this journey and my dream came true❤️
There is no better lesson in life and no other unconditional love for me!
She teaches me to be a better and stronger person every day!
She taught me that we all have only one life and it must be cherished and respected!
I take her to museums, introduce to things dear to my heart and soul and she patiently teaches me to play video games (that I have no ambition to win🤭).
She is my companion and great student.
I love travelling with her and can’t wait for next and next and next adventures to come to continue this precious role I was given!
I’m also blessed to share this journey along with devoted and wise fatherhood by @andreas_markakis !
Penelope, the girl who is showing me what motherhood means!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY have I said?

One of the most fascinating advantages of being an event and wedding planner is to often meet new people and vendors who contribute to our vision, change our perspective and teach us how to always reinvent and think modern way!
Meeting Snezana and Stavros from @mastiqgin.com_ was one of those experiences! Owners of contemporary bar in Germany serving cocktails based on gin they produce themselves, they joined me this spring to chat about bar importance, drinks that match occasion, few mistakes to avoid and why bar presence makes each event more elegant and relaxing!
Bar is an eye catcher and centre of the social gathering remember!
