Elena & Chris, A Bulgarian Bathers’ Romance

November 7, 2019 by Sarah Johnston Filed Under: Real Wedding

Planning a wedding from a different state can be difficult. So when Elena and Chris needed help planning their wedding at The Bathers’ Pavilion at Balmoral, we were really excited to jump right in.

It was really important to draw on some of the traditions from the bride’s Bulgarian heritage. A lot of planning and thought from the bride and groom went into intertwining Bulgarian wedding customs into their Australian celebration. And they did so beautifully, everything from door games to Bulgarian dancers and bi-lingual wedding day stationery. We had it all covered.

Chris and Elena had a gorgeous sunshine day for their ceremony at the Balmoral Rotunda, and afterwards for dinner at Bathers’. With an emphasis on the amazing culinary prowess that is The Bathers’, guests were able to enjoy every minute of the hospitality, in the beautiful surrounds that we had spent so much time planning for them.
