Andrea Wore WONA Concept for Her Fashion & Contemporary Art Inspired Wedding at Zoya Museum, Slovakia

Andrea and Peter knew from the outset that they wanted a wedding that reflected the lives they have built together rather than following tradition for tradition’s sake.

With Andrea co-owning a fashion e-store and both of them drawn to contemporary art, there was never much chance of a conventional celebration. Instead, they chose Zoya Museum in Slovakia, surrounded by vineyards and home to an impressive collection of contemporary art, as the setting for a day centred around bold, unapologetic design, considered styling and plenty of personality. Working alongside wedding planner, designer and florist Adela of Holubica, they spent a year refining every detail, creating a celebration where fashion, art and flowers carried equal importance. The result is as striking as the venue itself.

Photographed by Tomas Lazorik, whose editorial approach was perfectly suited to the couple’s vision, the entire wedding revolved around one simple phrase: Love, Marriage & Dance. It appeared everywhere, from the stationery and oversized floor graphics to the cocktail bar branding, while Holubica echoed the colours of the museum through abundant dahlias, hydrangeas and soft green foliage, pairing sculptural floral installations with statement lighting and contemporary furniture to blur the line between wedding design and art installation.

Andrea wore a WONA Concept gown before changing into a minimalist lace dress for the evening. Enjoy!

Our wedding venue was a contemporary art gallery, the Zoya Museum, as we wanted the wedding design to feel like a work of art itself.

We chose this venue for its artistic, contemporary atmosphere, as well as our shared love of wine, made all the more special by its setting amidst the vineyards.

We hired Holubica Weddings for both planning and design.

We held our official civil ceremony at the Zoya Museum. Peter was accompanied by his mother, and I was escorted by my father. The song playing as I walked down the aisle was Power of Love by Jennifer Rush. 

Our civil ceremony was held by the officiants from the Mayor’s Office of the village of Modra.

We didn’t share any public vows; we wanted our promises to each other to remain private, shared only between us.

Our rings were from Aharon Gems. I have followed them for many years now and they were my dream brand. They are Slovaks.

We later held a traditional Slovak midnight ceremony called “Čepčenie”. This folkloric ritual features traditional songs and costumes, celebrating the bride and groom in a culturally meaningful way.

Our photographer was Tomas Lazorik – his fashion-forward, editorial-style photography felt straight out of a magazine and perfectly captured our vision for the wedding.

We also hired a content creator who created several small reels for social media.

Our story began two years ago at Luna Bar, on the dance floor, where Peťo noticed me, pulled me aside, and started a conversation. We were both there by chance, and sometimes chance encounters carry a deeper meaning—so that love can begin.

Our meetings grew into a love that continues to this day, and we believe it will last throughout our marriage

From this love, our little son Filip was born, completing our bond.

For our floral design, we chose our planner – also designer and florist, Holubica, who truly understood our vision of a stylish, fashion-forward aesthetic. We selected seasonal dahlias, hydrangeas, and greenery in a blush-pink to soft-green color palette, creating a lush, asymmetrical look.

Our wedding cake by Helou featured a modern, elongated design that perfectly aligned with the overall wedding aesthetic.

From the very first meeting with Andrea, it was clear to me that our wedding would be stylish and fashion-forward, exactly the kind of aesthetic we love. We planned every detail of the wedding over the course of a year, and it was truly a pleasure.

The design was based on the bride’s inspirations. She loves lush, slightly “messy” flowers, and although her usual aesthetic is more neutral, she wanted something extravagant for the wedding to reveal this hidden side of her personality.

Andrea gave us her full trust when creating the design and floral proposal, and based on her reaction on the wedding day, as well as the guests’ – we exceeded her expectations.

The groom, Peter, was thrilled, even though he wasn’t involved in the design planning and didn’t insist on a high budget for the décor, he was completely blown away. It was a true “wow” moment for him.

The best investment we made was hiring a wedding planner. I would rather save a bit on design or food than skip having one. Being able to enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a thing was absolutely priceless.

It’s not common for us (Slovakia) to have a wedding planner, but I would recommend it to everyone – not leaving it to family and friends. Everyone wants to save money, but this is one area where I definitely wouldn’t cut corners.
