It felt perfectly fitting to share this luxe wedding fashion editorial from Croatia as the summer wedding season reaches its heights right now! Join me for sunny, beautiful climes and admire this fabulous creative photoshoot by some of Croatia’s finest.

The venue is Villa Borgo Lapis in Višnjan, a stunning Istrian estate nestled among vineyards. Take inspiration from the styling touches and creative elements all curated by local creatives, designed to showcase emerging wedding trends for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

As always, I’ll share my favourite images from the photoshoot on instagram at @englishweddingblog, and do check out all of the suppliers’ own instagrams to see much more from this beautiful collaboration!

With a full cast of groomsmen and bridesmaids, this almost looks like a real wedding – but it’s important to be really clear that the people you see are models, and this is a curated photoshoot for everyone involved to showcase their best work and inspire you lovely lot with some ideas you might love for your own, real weddings! I hope you love it as much as we have.

The superb images are all by photographer Marko Dušak, owner of Spinaker Graphics studio. The concept for the wedding styling was brought to life in collaboration with Željka Dušak, florist and founder of Vaza I Cvijet floral design studio; Mario Petek, owner of men’s formalwear boutique Suitbox; and Jasna Matok, founder of women’s bridal boutique ‘I Do Weddings‘.

With our thanks to Kristina for sharing these images and her lovely write up of the day!

Floral arrangements by ‘Vaza i Cvijet’, created by Željka Dušak, reflected the villa’s rustic elegance through a delicate palette of pastel hues and thoughtful details such as soft candlelight, fostering a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Photographer Marko Dušak, Spinaker Photograpy, adopted an editorial fashion photography style to capture the event, crafting visual narratives that conveyed the mood, ambiance, and emotion of the day. He praised the seamless collaboration among all partners and the high level of professionalism on set.

Mario Petek unveiled a sophisticated collection of men’s formalwear, ranging from classic tuxedos to daring designs featuring bold patterns, chains, and sequins, perfectly complementing the refined ambience of Villa Borgo Lapis.

Mario emphasized the importance of a personalized approach for each client and predicted that burgundy coloured suits will dominate the upcoming wedding season.

Jasna Matok of ‘I Do Weddings’ highlighted the emotional significance of selecting the perfect wedding dress, advocating for a deeply personal and meaningful experience.

The featured models showcased elegant, luxurious bridal gowns that harmonized beautifully with the villa’s romantic, rustic setting.
