meet ANASTASIIA
Hi, I am Anastasiia -
Wedding designer, stylist, and creative director behind Kogan Events.
I am deeply passionate about weddings, design, and the people behind them. I work closely with each couple to understand who they are, how they live, and what matters most to them - then translate that into a wedding experience that feels intentional, cohesive, and emotionally resonant.
My role is to lead the creative vision of your wedding. From defining the overall aesthetic and atmosphere to guiding every visual detail, I ensure your celebration feels thoughtfully designed rather than pieced together. When guests walk into the space, it should feel instantly recognizable — not trendy, not generic, but personal.
I grew up in Europe.
With a background in Graphic Design and a strong eye for detail, I naturally gravitated toward wedding design and creative direction - helping couples shape not just how their wedding looks, but how it feels.
I collaborate closely with trusted wedding planners and coordinators who manage timelines and logistics, allowing me to stay focused on what I do best: designing weddings that tell your story beautifully.

My appreciation for various cultures and fluency in English, French, Russian, and Polish allows me to work seamlessly with couples and creative partners from all over the world, blending European refinement with Southern warmth and perspective.
Beyond weddings, community and connection are deeply important to me. I am the founder of Ladies of Smyrna & Vinings, a local women’s social community that began as a Facebook group. What started as a way to connect women in my area has become a space for friendship, support, and meaningful connection - values I bring into every celebration I design.
I am also a proud mother to my daughter, Amelia, whose presence has deepened my appreciation for intentional living, meaningful moments, and the importance of celebrating life thoughtfully and with heart.
I am actively involved in volunteering with and supporting dog rescues, a cause very close to me. Giving back - whether through community, family, or animal welfare - is something I believe should always be part of a meaningful life and business.
Music is another constant source of inspiration for me. I sing in a choir, and it continues to shape how I think about emotion, rhythm, and storytelling - elements that quietly influence how I design weddings and experiences.
In my spare time, you’ll most likely find me traveling in an RV with my husband, our daughter, and our pups, finding beauty in simple moments, new places, and everyday details.
OUR TEAM
Rebecca
Our go-to creative for styling and floral direction
Rebecca is an incredibly thoughtful creative with a natural eye for beauty, balance, and detail. Within Kogan Events, she supports the design process through styling and floral direction — helping bring our creative vision to life in a way that feels intentional and refined.
She loves the process of translating ideas into tangible design moments and approaches her work with care, creativity, and heart. Rebecca is deeply attentive to detail and plays a key role in ensuring that visual elements feel cohesive and beautifully executed.
Born in Korea and raised in Florida, Rebecca brings a background in hospitality and event production, which naturally led her into the world of design and florals. She now resides in Georgia, where she balances motherhood, creative work, and her own floral business, which she runs alongside her best friend.
Outside of weddings, you’ll find Rebecca exploring the outdoors with her family, hiking in the mountains, traveling, and drawing inspiration from food, culture, and everyday beauty.
Agnes
Creative and resourceful, Miss "Fix it" and behind-the-scenes coordination expert.
Agnes is the calm, capable force behind seamless execution. Known for her quick thinking and problem-solving instincts, she has an incredible ability to anticipate needs, resolve challenges, and keep everything moving smoothly — often before anyone else realizes something needs attention.
With a background in business operations and years of experience in wedding coordination, Agnes plays a key role in overseeing logistics, timelines, and vendor communication. She ensures that every thoughtfully designed detail is executed as planned, allowing our couples to stay present and truly enjoy their day.
Agnes is highly organized, detail-oriented, and focused on creating a stress-free experience through clear structure and flawless coordination. She works closely with our creative team to support the vision while managing the moving pieces that bring it to life.
Outside of weddings, Agnes loves to travel, explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, and connect with new people and cultures. When she’s home, she enjoys catching up with friends, hiking, reading, and watching (occasionally scary) documentaries.
OUR CELEBRATIONS ARE inclusive
We only work with fellow wedding professionals who share our belief that all humans are equal,
no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, belief system, or who they love.
