The Big Day

21st of September 2017. Wedding of Ruslan and Kristina at Villa Milocer, Montenegro. The longest period of preparation, the most beautiful and one of the most unusual wedding arch decorations. One of the most beautiful weddings and chill out morning preparations. They were not in a hurry and seemed so relaxed that it was a great pleasure to capture candid moments and follow the couple’s planned ideas. 

Kristina Gontar is the first Vice Miss Russia 2012 and that is why she has a lot of experience in photo posing, but on the wedding, she showed her real emotions of love and happiness with Ruslan. 

We had the pillow battle, morning picnic, beach leisure time and all this on the day of the wedding. The grand finale of the wedding day was the first dance which impressed not only family and guests but all the well-seasoned wedding crew.

The Dress

I looked through a lot of photos of famous wedding dress brands. Than visited showrooms and tried different types of dresses. We found a self-employed gifted master and discussed all our wishes about dresses.

For the bridesmaid's dresses, I chose the color and then asked each bridesmaid to discussed all wishes with master 

Bridal Advice

I suggest choosing the style of wedding and colors first. Think about the place of ceremony and dinner, are they in one place or different? We organized a welcome dinner for all guests to meet each other the day before weddings. 

The timing, we planed every activity and started at 4 pm to give our guests plenty of time to get ready. We slept well and got up at 11 am. Definitely take an assistant who will be in control of everything!!! I had 2 dresses, one for the ceremony and one for the party (easy to dance)
