Some weddings are designed around tradition. Others are built around feeling. Lili and Robin chose the second.
Recently published in Together Journal, their Lake Balaton wedding at Zen Garden Resort was less about formality and more about experience — a full weekend of connection, movement, and joy, set within lush gardens and the soft summer light of Hungary’s most beloved lake.
From the very beginning, their vision was simple: create a celebration that truly felt like them.
A love story that started in Amsterdam: Lili and Robin — a Hungarian and French/Luxembourgish couple — met seven years ago at a student residence party in Amsterdam. What started as a casual evening turned into hours of conversation. “It felt natural, effortless, and a bit like magic from the very first moment.”

Set at Zen Garden Resort, a hidden oasis with a lush garden and natural swimming pool right on the lakeshore, the setting spoke for itself. Subtle Amalfi Coast inspiration appeared through lemons, aromatic plants, and Mediterranean textures — a nod to their engagement. Lili carried an artistic, sculptural bouquet rather than a traditional floral arrangement, perfectly complementing the organic styling created by White Wedding Decor.
Nothing forced. Nothing staged. Just the real emotion of two people completely present with each other and their loved ones. Because that’s what lasts.
What marriage means to them “For us, marriage means having a partner you can rely on unconditionally.” Date nights. Cooking together. Staying active. Building projects side by side. Finding joy in everyday life.
Simple things, done with intention.
Just like their wedding.
