Perfect! With the day before the wedding boat cruise with their friends, we were in full speed, in getting the decor bits ready! The flags, the wedding signs, the Dragon ring box, the candles, the flowers, the cake! we were not only inspired by the Game of Thrones, but by a great love that Sharon & Peter share for each other!
The couple had an idea to introduce their big love toward the series to all of their guests who attended, so we made sure that everyone gets to know the venues were the actual shooting was taking place, and provided an opportunity for them to learn about the details and moments which were not recorded on a camera, therefore we have engaged the local tour guide expert on the Game of Thrones. Dubrovnik can offer so many exceptional wedding inspirations, like the Game of Thrones themed one! Are you a fan too?? Looking forward in hearing from you then! As many brides asked us, we thought of sharing the locations on which the Game of Thrones shooting took place! The second season, shooting of the Southern scenes took place at the town of Dubrovnik , the city walls of Dubrovnik and fort of Lovrijenac, which were used for the King’s Landing and Red Keep. St. Dominic monastery located on the island of Lokrum, an island located just in front of the old town of Dubrovnik was also used for some scenes. The Rector’s Palace in Dubrovnik and 15 minute drive away from Dubrovnik, location called Dubac were used for scenes set in Qarth. The third season, production used a new location, 15 minute drive away from Dubrovnik, venue called Trsteno Arboretum. It is the actual garden the Tyrells use in King’s Landing.
