On this week’s Get Wedded in Wonderland, we meet architect and bride Nikolina Borovina, who spent a full year meticulously planning her wedding - from detailed 3D layouts to handcrafted sculptural centrepieces. The result? A breathtaking transformation of a humble sports club into a luxury wedding space.But what looked seamless on the outside came with pressure, problem-solving, and one major twist - a wedding dress made just two weeks before the big day.Now, Nikolina is making the leap from architect to luxury wedding planner - bringing with her a sharp eye for detail, natural organisational instincts, and a strong architectural foundation that elevates how she designs, styles, and structures wedding experiences.This episode isn’t a guide to doing it all yourself - it’s a real-world look at what goes into planning a wedding from scratch, and why even the most talented brides turn to professionals.Key Moments not to miss:2:08 – How They Met 4:09 – Planning an Entire Wedding Without a Planner 4:36 – Transforming a Sports Club Into a Stunning Luxury Venue 8:42 – Trusting the Process 10:07 – Bride’s Handcrafted Tablescapes and Centerpieces13:23 – Designing Stationery, Wedding Favors, and Invitations 15:44 – From Bride to Business: Wedding Expectations and Growth 17:03 – TikTok vs. Instagram 20:17 – The Masterpiece Wedding Dress - Completed in Just Two Weeks 24:51 – How Every Detail Came Together Seamlessly 25:36 – The Cake Table 28:15 – The Challenges of Working Directly With Vendors 30:01 – Compromises and Budget Priorities in Wedding Planning 33:14 – Serbian Wedding Celebrations Follow Wedded Wonderland:Website: https://weddedwonderland.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weddedwonderland/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wedded.wonderland
