I have always found such unique beauty in multicultural marriages.🤍

Two people, from occasionally completely different backgrounds, different cultures with different traditions, committing to respect and be there for each other for a lifetime. To learn about each other's cultures, to be open, curious and accepting of different traditions, to stay patient, and supportive of one another - even when it turns out to be hard. And sometimes, it will.

But when two people join forces together to bring out the best of both worlds - that's when the magic happens.🤍

My dear expat friend struggling with the wedding paperwork... This one is for YOU!🤍

Having been an expat bride myself, I honestly understand the headache you can get ( sometimes literally... ) from trying to figure out the legal requirements, gathering the proper documents and navigating through the admin process so you can finally marry your love here in Belgium. I feel your pain. So I did something for you!😊

With “The Ultimate Wedding Admin Guide for Expats”, my aim is to ease your stress and set you up for success when it comes to the least fun part of wedding planning: the administration. I will share my tips and tricks and walk you through the relevant paperwork and administrative steps you need to deal with when getting married as an expat in Belgium.

Assembled with love and care ( and a little humor ), containing tips and tricks – I wish someone had told me – based on real life experience and feedback from other expat brides.
And the best part is? It’s completely free.😊

So go ahead, do yourself a favour and grab it directly from my website ( in bio ).
Happy planning!🤍

Which of these designs best captures your vibe?😊
Do you prefer the minimalist elegance of a muted colour palette with soft greens and earthy tones for a cozy ambiance?
Or the modern romantic aesthetic, featuring bold, rich and vibrant colours for a warm and festive vibe?

Believe it or not, this common misconception nearly stopped me from pursuing my dream of becoming a wedding planner.

Back in high school, we had career day where we met with professionals in fields we were interested in, to see what the reality of the industry is, so we can make better choices about our further education and future career field. I chose wedding planning, thrilled to dive into a world of joy and glamour. I remember being sooooo excited, I showed up in my best outfit with a huge smile, ready to hear all about this amazing career.
But the wedding planner I met was completely burned out. She cared me into thinking that becoming a planner meant being on call 24/7, jumping out of bed at 2 a.m. if a bride needed me. She made it sound like my life as I knew it would be over.

At the time, I didn’t know any better, so I chose another path. Now I realize she simply didn’t have healthy boundaries in her business, while it was her responsibility to set those and communicate them to her clients from the get go.

That’s why I make a point of setting clear expectations with my couples from the start. In our onboarding meeting I clearly define how our relationship will go moving forward, and what my communication practices are, so I can provide the highest level of service and be the best version of myself. Because no planner can be effective if he or she is overwhelmed and overworked with no time to disconnect and recharge. And it's our job not to let that happen.😊🤍

But I'm curious of your thoughts. Do you expect a planner to be available 24/7?

Where not only the destination but the whole journey matters.🤍

I truly believe that the most meaningful things that happen in life are made up of countless little moments that never come back.🤍 That's why I'm so passionate about being present and making the most of all those little moments in life.😊
Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience ~ and so is your entire engagement period. So let's make it the amazing memory of a lifetime!😊

Thank you N & P for sharing!🤍
This feedback means so much, as helping my couples stay true to their vision is one of my top priorities!

Another misconception busted! As a wedding planner, my goal isn't to force my ideas on you. It's to understand YOUR vision, and take it to the next level!😊

A traditional bouquet toss ~ yes or no?🤍

It's a fun tradition that symbolizes passing on the luck of love to the next bride-to-be. It can be a joyful, lighthearted and often competitive way for the bride to celebrate her single friends and wish them luck in love. Many brides look forward to this moment ~but what if the bouquet toss isn’t quite your style?
If it feels awkward, or if you don’t have single friends, there are plenty of creative ways to put a little spin on this tradition! 😊

You could present the bouquet to your parents after a thank-you speech, gift it to the longest-married couple during a fun dance game, or even keep it and turn it into a keepsake for your home decor.🤍 After all, you've spent enough money on it, haven't you?

So which bride are you? Will you do a bouquet toss or not?😊

I know it may sound like just another cliché, but think about how many times you’ve faced a challenge that seemed impossible to overcome.
Whether it was a school performance, a final exam, a job interview, or in my case: the recent experience of bringing my baby boy into this world... that definitely felt impossible, until it wasn't. 😄

What's one thing you never thought you'd achieve, but did anyway?

Full Service Wedding Planning.🤍 and some misconceptions.

Some people worry that by hiring a wedding planner, they will miss out on the fun of the preparations, and lose control over their own wedding day.
They worry that nobody else will be able to see and execute their vision exactly the way they imagined, so they decide to keep it all to themselves.
I personally think it's perfectly normal if you have difficulties delegating the preparation of such a significant event of your life. Who wouldn't? 😊

However! A wedding planner is not there to take away your joy, or to deprive you of any fun during the planning process. Quite the contrary! 😉

We are here to make sure that ALL you have to do is focus on the FUN part! That you can deal with the things that bring you JOY, instead of the overwhelming, stressful and time consuming part of wedding planning. We are here to listen attentively and guide you through the process the way that suits you best - while you remain in full control over every detail of your own wedding. No decision is ever made without you, I promise! 😊

We are here so you can go to your cake tasting with complete peace of mind, pick out your wedding rings without a worry in the world, practice your first dance for hours and hours ( if you want ) - while we review your budget, negotiate your contracts and finalize your timeline.

Want to know more about what's in it for you? Send me a DM, or check out my packages through the link in my bio.🤍
