How It Began

Some love stories find their planner through a referral. Some through Instagram. Alina and Slava found Create Your Story through a leaf.
At a previous celebration, we had hand-calligraphed each guest’s name onto a tropical leaf — a living, breathing piece of bespoke stationery that transformed the simple act of finding your seat into a moment of beauty. Alina saw it. And she knew immediately.
For their own celebration, we recreated this signature touch — each of their 40 guests welcomed with their name written by hand in elegant calligraphy on a tropical leaf, brought from different corners of the world to celebrate love in the city that held a special place in Alina and Slava’s hearts.
Singapore was not simply a convenient destination. It was chosen with intention — a city that had woven itself into their story, a place that felt like theirs. And so they brought their world to it.

A Celebration Across Eight Days and Ten Events

This was not a wedding. It was a curated Singapore experience: ten carefully orchestrated events across eight extraordinary days, each one designed to reveal a different facet of this remarkable city to guests who had travelled from across Russia to be there.

 

Pre-Wedding Photo Session ~ The celebration began with an intimate photo journey. The couple and their closest family and friends photographed at the iconic Raffles Hotel and the otherworldly Gardens by the Bay. The first of many memories made together in Singapore.


Welcome Dinner at Skai ~ High above the city at one of Singapore’s most celebrated rooftop restaurants, guests gathered for the first time, a breathtaking welcome dinner with the Singapore skyline as their backdrop and the warmth of reunion in the air.


Elegant Dinner at Vue ~ A second evening of refined dining at Vue, another of Singapore’s most acclaimed restaurants. Intimate, elegant, and entirely their own.


Singapore City Tour with the famous Duck ~ No experience of Singapore is complete without seeing it from the water. Guests boarded the iconic Singapore Duck for a journey along the Singapore River and into Marina Bay, the city unfolding around them in all its luminous glory.


The Wedding Day at Raffles Hotel Lawn ~ The centrepiece of everything. A ceremony and reception at the legendary Raffles Hotel,  one of the most iconic venues in the world, transformed into something beyond imagination by the floral artistry of Tomas De Bruyne.


Day-After Superyacht Party ~ The celebration continued the following morning aboard a private superyacht, sailing from Sentosa through the shimmering waters to the Sister Islands: champagne, sunshine and the open sea.


Satay Lunch at Lau Pa Sat ~ An intentional contrast and one of the most beloved moments of the entire week. Guests gathered at Lau Pa Sat, one of Singapore’s oldest and most iconic hawker centres, for a quintessentially Singaporean satay lunch. The extraordinary made intimate. The global made local.


Farewell Dinner at Cut by Wolfgang Puck ~ The final evening was celebrated at Cut by Wolfgang Puck at Marina Bay Sands, one of the world’s most acclaimed dining destinations, a worthy farewell to a week that had become unforgettable.


The Marina Bay Sands Light Show ~ And to close, the spectacular nightly light show at Marina Bay Sands, the city putting on its own performance for guests who had spent eight days falling in love with Singapore.

The Flowers — An Artwork in Bloom

When Alina and Slava dreamed of their wedding design, they did not think in arrangements. They thought in art.

 

Tomas De Bruyne, one of the world’s most celebrated floral artists and author of the Art of Design, was commissioned to bring their vision to life. His core team, joined by 40 local florists, worked for one full week in preparation. In total, 82,000 stems of flowers were used to transform the Raffles Hotel lawn into something that had never been seen before in Singapore.

 

The result was a sculptural outdoor ceremony installation of extraordinary scale and beauty, a circular greenery arch, a cascading floral runway in blush and white, a mirror stage platform, flowers not as decoration but as architecture. As emotion made visible.

This wedding was subsequently featured in Tomas De Bruyne’s Art of Design, a global publication celebrating the finest floral artistry in the world. It stands as one of the most significant floral installations ever created in Singapore.

A Note from Daniela

“Alina and Slava did not come to us looking for a wedding planner. They came to us looking for someone who understood that a celebration of this significance deserved to be felt — not just organised. Every event across those eight days was designed to create a memory. Not just for the couple, but for every single one of their 40 guests who had crossed the world to be there. The leaf that started it all still means everything to me. It is a reminder that beauty begins in the details — and that the most extraordinary celebrations always do.”


All the love, Daniela
