I'm Zuza, the planner behind Whole Lotta Love Weddings
Me in a nutshell...
Hi, I’m Zuza (pronounced Zhuzha), the woman behind Whole Lotta Love Weddings. A self-confessed rule-breaker, here to inject some (much-needed) colour into the all-white world of traditional weddings.
My love of London (and all things retro!)
I live in SW London, in a house full of retro finds, with my best dancer husband, 3 gorgeous mini dudes, and our beloved dog Ziggy Stardust.
Originally from Croatia, I found my home in London 20-odd years ago, while exploring and trying to figure out where to direct my passion and creativity.
My journey into the world of wedding planning
After my studies, I was drawn to the buzzy and creative world of advertising, where I got some serious training in logistics and what works visually. This is where I met and eventually got together with my now husband Paul (after discovering we moved in the same clubbing circles and witnessing him bust some serious moves on the dancefloor - that did it!).
After having babies, the long hours of the advertising world didn’t suit my lifestyle anymore. I wanted to work around my family, and for myself, doing something super creative and non-repetitive (I love that every wedding I do is different).
I've trained with the best in the business, and here I am today doing my dream job, designing, styling, and planning cool AF weddings (for a good few years now, may I add.), and loving it.
What rocks my boat?
Mid-century interior, architecture, art, design, and of course music are my passions. It is where I draw my inspiration from. All that is iconic 60s & 70s retro, full of colour is boldly reflected in my work.
If you are a fellow rule-breaker looking for a wedding stylist and planner to help you create something truly unique, you are in the right place. I will guide you, advise you, design with you, and get you the best-suited wedding suppliers to realise your dream. You will LOVE the whole wedding planning process from start to finish.
