| HI IT’S ME AGAIN |
It’s been a little quiet around here lately and honestly, life has been happening behind the scenes!
I’ve been living on the beautiful island of Aruba for almost six months now, and what an adventure it has been! A new home, a new chapter, new dreams, and so many ideas slowly coming to life.
And now? I finally feel ready for the next step!
AURELIA ON ARUBA here we go!
Since it’s been a while, I guess it’s time to reintroduce myself
For those of you who don’t know me yet, and for those who are curious to know how life on Aruba has been treating me.
here’s a little update!
I’m Merel, the face behind Aurelia Weddingplanner. For over 8 years, I’ve had the pleasure of planning and creating incredible weddings across the Netherlands and Europe.
From small, intimate celebrations to grand and unforgettable weddings. I’ve loved every minute of it, working alongside amazing vendors and discovering the most extraordinary places along the way.
And then, six months ago, my family and I packed up our entire home into a shipping container and set off for sunny Aruba.
A fresh start. A new adventure. A whole new chapter.
For the past six months, the three of us have been discovering this beautiful island, finding our feet, and slowly making it feel like home. And now, it’s time to let my passion for weddings bloom again!
I’m SO ready to get back out there, bring my energy and creativity to the table, and start creating those truly Merel Aurelia weddings right here on the island.
I can’t wait to share my passion, my enthusiasm, and yes… my sometimes questionable sense of humour with the lovely people here on Aruba.
Is there anything you’d like to know about me or my life on Aruba? Let me know! I’d love to hear from you.
And yessss… how lovely does it feel to be back on Instagram!
We’re going to have some fun here again! Sharing, creating, dreaming, and taking you along as I build Aurelia on Aruba.
Because let’s be honest.
Building a business on a new island comes with a few little challenges here and there. Haha!
But we’re just getting started, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come!
