Wedding Day Snapshot
The Ceremony
The Photography
When selecting our photographer and videographer, we looked for professionals who could capture the essence of each couple’s love story We chose individuals who possess a unique ability to make couples feel at ease, allowing them to shine through on camera As skilled storytellers, they are adept at capturing the most intimate and emotional moments, conveying the authenticity of the couple’s relationship with remarkable accuracy.
The Flowers
In crafting the wedding’s floral arrangements, we opted for a predominantly white palette, selecting hydrangea and lycianthus for the bridal bouquet alongside a few garden roses in a soft pink hue To subtly weave in the pink tone elsewhere, we paired white lycianthus with delicate astilbe blooms for the buttonholes, striking a beautiful balance between subtle and elegant.
Favourite Moments
The pièce de résistance came when the groom stunned the bride with a dazzling fireworks display immediately following cake-cutting The surprise was simply sublime I must confess, I’m smitten with the stylish cocktail flags and chic cigar bar – what a fantastic way to add some whimsy to the celebration And can you spot those adorable flower girls adding to the joy.
A huge thank you to George Pahountis, White Ribbon Boutique Events and Mersina & Stelios for generously sharing their breathtaking Greek wedding with us Let’s be inspired by even more incredible destination weddings.
