Today we are taking you away from this cold winter weather (anyone else got snow today") to the wonderful sunshine of beautiful Croatia. Lauren and Matthew chose Croatia for its amazing setting and fantastic climate. They decided on an intimate wedding of 16 close friends and family and the results are stunning. A pretty pastel and neutral colour palette works brilliantly against the creams and beige of the old buildings behind them, all captured perfectly by Paparela Photo.
A beautiful, relaxing wedding in a stunning setting. Romantic and intimate; simply perfect for us.

Lauren and Matthew were married on the 4th June 2016 at Court Natalis, Ethnographic Museum at Diocletian?s Palace, Split, Croatia. Reception held in private villa in Podstrana near Split. ‘It was a beautiful location, heritage sites, amazing beaches, nice weather?..not too hot but no rain! We had 16 guests and the wedding took 8 months to plan.’
How they met

Matthew and I met at college, we have been together for 12 years.
The Proposal

Matt proposed when we were both 18 years old. We were expecting our first child and it seemed like the next step. I wish it was a more exciting story!
How did you allocate your budget"

We left everything in our wedding planner?s (Ivana) hands.
Where did you splurge and where did you save"

We saved by having our wedding abroad. Croatia is a beautiful destination and so amazingly priced.
