From Bride to Planner: How Nikolina Designed a Dream Wedding - And Why You Still Need a Pro

Get Wedded In Wonderland

On this week’s Get Wedded in Wonderland, we meet architect and bride Nikolina Borovina, who spent a full year meticulously planning her wedding - from detailed 3D layouts to handcrafted sculptural centrepieces.

The result? A breathtaking transformation of a humble sports club into a luxury wedding space.

But what looked seamless on the outside came with pressure, problem-solving, and one major twist - a wedding dress made just two weeks before the big day.

Now, Nikolina is making the leap from architect to luxury wedding planner - bringing with her a sharp eye for detail, natural organisational instincts, and a strong architectural foundation that elevates how she designs, styles, and structures wedding experiences.

This episode isn’t a guide to doing it all yourself - it’s a real-world look at what goes into planning a wedding from scratch, and why even the most talented brides turn to professionals.
