Who I Am
Family & Furry Friends
I share my home with my husband, our daughter, and a delightful black poodle who brings joy and companionship to our everyday lives.
Color Enthusiast
I believe every color has its own charm and can bring something unique to a wedding. It’s all about how they’re used to create the right mood and harmony. Personally, I have a soft spot for orange and serene light blue, but I love exploring all palettes to find the perfect fit for each celebration.
Fitness Lover
Staying active, whether it’s hitting the gym or going for a run, fuels my creativity and keeps me energized.
Inspired by Beauty
My inspiration comes from stunning Croatian landscapes, old architecture, fashion, and interior design. These influences shape my style and fuel my creativity.
Florals & Textures
Flowers are at the heart of what I do. With a name that means “flower,” I’ve always been drawn to their intricate beauty and the rich textures they bring to my work.
Detail Enthusiast
I love blending the old with the new, mixing unique elements to create designs that feel both bold and harmonious.
Architecture Admirer:
There’s something magical about old buildings with authentic style—they inspire me to craft designs that feel timeless and full of character.
My Philosophy
I’ve been running my business for nine years, during which I’ve had the privilege of decorating a wide range of events in Croatia.
From intimate birthday celebrations for all generations to meaningful baptisms, unforgettable weddings, and elegant corporate events, I’ve built my experience on crafting designs that reflect individuality and create lasting memories.
One of my favorite parts of the design process is creating stunning tablescapes. I truly enjoy curating a mix of textures, colors, and decor that make a table feel dynamic and inviting. For me, a well-decorated table is more than just functional—it tells a story and sets the tone for the entire celebration.
I believe in cherishing life’s special moments and the connections we share with those around us.
For me, the best events are those that combine beauty with a sense of individuality, leaving lasting memories for everyone involved. I’m dedicated to crafting spaces that are not only visually stunning but also deeply personal—celebrating your unique style and story.
