Project Overview
Veselia is a modern wedding planning web app designed to help couples manage one of the most stressful parts of wedding preparation guests, RSVPs, and seating arrangements.
Many couples rely on spreadsheets, messages, and emails scattered across platforms. Veselia brings everything into one calm, elegant experience that feels intuitive, organized, and human. The goal was to design a product that feels supportive rather than overwhelming during an emotional life moment.

The Problem
Wedding planning tools are often:
Overly complex
Built for professional planners, not couples
Visually cluttered and stressful
Missing key guest-related workflows
Couples needed a simple, affordable, and beautifully designed solution focused specifically on guest management and RSVP coordination without unnecessary features.
The Goal
Design a wedding-focused web experience that:
Makes guest management effortless
Simplifies RSVP collection
Removes the need for spreadsheets
Feels warm, modern, and stress-free
Works seamlessly across devices

My Role
UI/UX Designer
I was responsible for:
User flows & wireframes
High-fidelity UI design
Responsive layouts
All designs were created in Figma, focusing on clarity, usability, and emotional comfort.
Design Approach
The design approach balanced function and emotion.
Key principles:
Calm visual hierarchy
Soft, wedding-appropriate color palette
Minimal cognitive load
Clear CTAs and form guidance
Familiar patterns with thoughtful micro-interactions
The interface avoids overwhelming users and guides them step-by-step through each task.
Key Features
Guest List Management
Couples can add, edit, and remove guests easily, while controlling plus-one permissions. The experience replaces spreadsheets with a clean, visual table that’s easy to scan and update.
RSVP Sendout & Collection
RSVPs can be sent via email or phone. Guests receive a personal link where they can:
Confirm attendance
Select meal preferences
Indicate plus-one information
Request hotel or transportation
No login required for guests, reducing friction and increasing response rates.
Tags & Grouping
Guests can be grouped using custom tags such as Family, Friends, or Coworkers, helping couples filter, organize, and communicate efficiently.
Seating Management
A visual seating planner allows users to create tables and assign guests intuitively, helping avoid awkward placements and last-minute confusion.
Exports
Guest lists and seating charts can be exported as PDF or CSV, making it easy to share with venues or planners.

Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Avoiding Feature Overload
Wedding planning already comes with emotional stress.
Solution:
Focused the product on guest-related workflows only, ensuring every screen has a clear purpose and minimal distractions.
Challenge: Making Complex Tasks Feel Simple
RSVP logic, seating, and tags can easily become confusing.
Solution:
Used progressive disclosure, clear labels, and friendly micro-copy to guide users without overwhelming them.
Takeaways
Veselia proves that great UX is about empathy, not complexity.
By understanding the emotional context of wedding planning, the design focuses on:
Reducing stress
Building trust
Making users feel supported
A calm, well-structured interface can turn a stressful task into a reassuring experience.
