It was a night of grandeur, tradition, and generosity, filled with music, splendor, and elegance. Nelly added a special touch of sweet magic to this magnificent event, making Savaball even more enchanting.
The 26th Savaball was held on January 31, attracting over 2,500 guests to Vienna’s Hofburg Palace, including, for the first time, the Mayor of Vienna, Dr. Michael Ludwig.
This prestigious event, an integral part of Vienna’s renowned ball season, seamlessly blended Serbian tradition with the opulent spirit of Austrian culture. And us? We proudly stepped onto this historic stage as a sponsor, bringing a touch of sweet luxury to this fairytale evening.
Nelly Doll – The Queen of the Evening
It is hard to describe the excitement when all eyes turned to our doll, dressed in a gown made entirely of Nelly chocolate boxes! Elegant, original, and utterly irresistible, she became a true symbol of the fusion of creativity and exquisite taste. Her presence captivated the guests, who couldn’t resist stopping for a photo – after all, how often do you get the chance to see a fashion creation made from your favorite chocolate?
An Unforgettable Night – Music, Emotions, and Charity
Savaball is more than just a celebration—it is a story of unity, art, and humanity. This year, the ball carried a special mission: raising funds to provide a home for single mother Ljiljana Dukić and her daughters. In collaboration with the humanitarian organization “Serbs for Serbs,” we demonstrated that luxury and grandeur hold true value only when they serve a greater cause. Ljiljana and her daughters were honored guests of the evening, and their joy and gratitude were the greatest reward for everyone present.
Viennese Palace, Sparkling Chandeliers, and Dancing Until Dawn
Imagine – 14 grand halls, each with its own unique atmosphere. From the enchanting sounds of the Viennese waltz and Johan Strauss’s Serbian Quadrille to modern beats and DJ sets – this ball had it all! Guests were treated to performances by renowned artists such as Stefan Milenković, Bisera Veletanlić, Magnifico, and the band Van Gogh, while the dance floor remained lively and filled with energy until the early morning hours.
Nelly – A Sweet Touch of Tradition and Luxury
We are proud to have been part of this spectacular event, bringing a touch of chocolate magic to an unforgettable evening. Savaball is more than just an event—it is a celebration of tradition, culture, and emotion, and Nelly seamlessly became a part of this extraordinary story.
