Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a great weekend? What did you get up to? Mine was lovely, it’s great now we can see more people and go more places. Saturday we met with Nik’s sister and Dexter’s cousins and went for a bike ride, well the kids did, and then in the evening Nik’s mum came over. Sunday it was Dexter’s best friend Violet’s birthday. We went out for lunch and then to a small  local farm. It was great getting out and at last enjoying some decent weather. Next week we are off for a week in Cornwall, so this week is a busy one getting everything ready for my week away. Starting off with this super laid back wedding from beautiful Croatia. Beata and Ivan held an Eco friendly wedding, that celebrated their love of nature and the outdoors. They created a beautiful environment filled with the most stunning flowers and transported their guests by boat. What an amazing day! Big thanks to Love and Ventures for the wonderful photos.

We wanted our wedding to reflect our lifestyle and beliefs: a mixture of nature, eco-friendliness, adventure, chill-out, casual atmosphere, and authentic emotions!

Beata and Ivan were married on 7th September 2019. The intimate ceremony took place on a secret chill zone spot from Paddle Surf Bacina at Bacina Lakes in Croatia. The dinner and party took place at the open terrace of restaurant Adria at beautiful Kuti Lake. ‘We knew from the very beginning that our wedding won’t be a typical, traditional wedding. For us, it was important to feel carefree, relaxed, and to spend the day the way we feel is real us. It was very important for us to have all the parts of the wedding day in natural settings and no better place for that than our chill base at the Bacina Lakes. This is the place where we spend the most time when we are in Croatia (Beata is Polish so we normally spend winters in Poland), our little heaven on earth, far away from civilization. The spot is our land where we built the modern eco-friendly wooden house and where we host friends, family, and guests on our SUP tours during the summer. For the wedding ceremony, we built an eco-toilet for our guests as well. We wanted to share the love for this place and the nature of Bacina Lakes with our international guests from all around the world. At the ceremony, we invited only the family and close friends (approx. 40 guests) and at dinner, there were 130 guests in total. We started the planning process around one and a half years before the wedding.’
