The wedding design was a classic, airy, Greek summer embracing beach vibes and the summer breeze. Inspired by the coastal hues and peaceful landscapes of Chalkidiki’s Greek beaches, our vision was to highlight the natural beauty of our venue, featuring the colors of the golden sunset hour, and integrate smoothly with the beach’s serene scenery.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

On their first day in Sicily, June 2023, Steve proposed to Dana in the breathtaking Villa Comunale di Taormina. He was too nervous to wait and wanted the whole trip to double as a celebration. The gardens were stunning—private yet open to the gorgeous coastline views. As they strolled around, Steve sneakily used Dana’s love for “fit checks” (she has to see the whole outfit in action) to set up his phone and capture the moment. When he got down on one knee, her reaction was priceless. A sweet, elderly Sicilian woman sitting nearby clapped enthusiastically—a tiny but spirited audience. It was the perfect start to a sun-soaked, love-filled adventure.

At the cocktail hour sparkling champagne complemented delectable creations from the oyster/seafood station and unique hors d’oeuvres, a culinary masterpiece set against the refined backdrop of a luxurious 5-star resort in Sithonia. Guests, later on, enjoyed an open buffet full of local and fresh ingredients, full of vibrant Mediterranean flavors, and traditional recipes like whole lamp stew to honor authentic Greek cuisine. Signature his & hers cocktails were served at the bar area upon dinner and of course wedding cake was the main dessert accompanied with fresh seasonal fruit and sweet baklava.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

A pathway of delicate, cloud-like clusters of baby’s breath blossoms, arranged with artistry on the velvety sand, created a celestial aisle leading to an exquisite floral arch. This enchanting focal point embraced the couple’s symbolic ceremony, radiating an atmosphere of intimacy and grace. Elegant white wooden chairs, adorned with hand fans for each guest, awaited loved ones who sipped refreshing herb-infused beverages while anticipating the emotional arrival of the stunning bride. The ceremony unfolded to the angelic strains of a live violin, weaving a melodic tapestry that flowed seamlessly into an opulent cocktail hour. Under the canopy of a boundless sea view, a spectacular installation over the dancing floor commanded the reception area: an airy structure full of fairy lights, oversized woven hanging lights, and cascading greenery garlands. Hundreds of softly glowing Edison bulbs floated above, casting a warm, enchanting light over the monastery-style and round dinner tables. The tablescapes, a harmonious blend of neutral beige and off-white tones, featured summer-inspired floral arrangements, glass candleholders in varied heights, and rustic woven placemats. Golden flatware sets added a note of understated luxury, while soft beige napkins, chiffon fabrics, and sea shell handwritten table numbers completed the serene, coastal elegance.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

The wedding cake was a gorgeous and simple smooth white 3-tier with added olive leaves and olives, symbolizing peace and unity. It was gracefully placed on an antique wooden table decorated with flowers, candles, and other traditional Greek sweetbites.

delightful surprise—a riveting performance by a traditional Bulgarian dance troupe.
Their vibrant costumes and infectious energy brought an exuberant burst of culture
and joy to the evening.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

As a mindfull and sweet closure of this unforgettable evening, each guest received a thoughtfully crafted wedding favor—a natural olive oil soap—an elegant token of gratitude for their presence at a celebration that will forever hold a special place in their hearts!

The Formula for the Perfect Beach Wedding in Greece

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]Inspiration Behind the Shoot

George Liopetas shares:
During my stay in New York and Tokyo last February, a unique idea took shape in my mind. I frequently encountered stunning beach photoshoots in magazines and online, but I realized that I had never seen a beach session from my own hometown go viral. Having organized successful workshops in Tuscany, Como, and Athens, I thought, “Why shouldn’t I organize a workshop in my hometown of Patras and the Western Greece region?”

I am a guy who loves summer. Summer is on my mind all the time. I love the colors of summer and the colors of Greece – the iconic white and blue. Most of all, I love the Greek water, the sandy beaches, and the Greek meaning of life. Inspired by these passions, I wanted to organize something that combined a wedding editorial with all the beauty mentioned above. I envisioned a wedding literally by the beach, with tables set right on the sea, creating a seamless blend of nature and celebration.

Western Greece is a region brimming with breathtaking beaches and natural beauty. Inspired by this, we set out to find the most picturesque beach in Western Greece, and that’s where we decided to host our main wedding editorial. This endeavor not only showcased the unparalleled beauty of Western Greece but also allowed us to bring a fresh and local perspective to beach wedding editorials. The result was a captivating blend of local charm and global inspiration.'[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Regarding the wedding colors, we wanted something simple. We are in a neutral environment like a sandy beach. The setup is going to get a little crazy – if you think we are going to use our tables INTO the seascape. So we decided to blend neutral tones and some light greenery to make some setups GET OUT of the sand! For instance our ceremony set up.[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]Location: The Stunning Beaches of Western Greece

To the south, along the Kyparissiakos Gulf, stretches over 45 kilometers of exotic beach known as Kakovatos. This beautiful expanse begins at Epitalio village and extends to Kalo Nero village, encompassing a unique ecosystem that includes the Caiaphas lake, the pine forest of Strofilia, and the historic Lapitha mountain.

In previous years, Kakovatos Beach, along with Kato Samiko, Zacharo village, and Giannitsochori village, was famous for its waves and the surfers who flocked there. These beaches were once vibrant with beach parties and loud music. Today, Kakovatos has transformed into a tranquil haven, with just one remaining canteen located next to “Mouries,” the oldest tavern in the area. This spot now offers coffee and refreshments accompanied by soft music.

Nikos Korovesis, the vice regional governor of Ilia, embodies this change. “You will come to our area for our marvelous beach, fresh fish, and good homemade food with fresh local ingredients and a relaxing family vacation,” he explains. The beach offers free umbrellas and loungers to customers, and free camping is available to the left and right of the beach.

The village caters to various tastes: from Greek music clubs to cafes and bars playing jazz-lounge music, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while relaxing with a drink.

Before leaving the coast of Ilia, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Katakolon village. Though lacking in tourist facilities, it boasts a picturesque harbor, a beautiful blue-water beach perfect for swimming, and excellent fish restaurants.

From George Liopetas: “If it wasn’t for the Vice Governor of Ilia, Mr. Nikos Korovesis, this wedding editorial would not have been possible. I would like to publicly thank him for his tremendous contribution to the production of this project.”[/field]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Giorgos Nikolakopoulos’s dedication to detail and his ability to capture the essence of coastal Greece through floral design elevated our editorial to new heights. His creation was more than decor; it was a testament to the harmony between natural elements and artistic vision, embodying the very spirit of our ‘Summer Dream by the Beach'[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]One of the standout features of our editorial was the meticulously crafted tabletop designed by Giorgos Nikolakopoulos, the visionary head florist of Natural Flower Workshop. His creation was nothing short of magical—a stunning sand-styled masterpiece that transported our guests to the very essence of a beachside celebration.

As you gaze upon the tabletop, you’re immediately captivated by its intricate details and lifelike textures. Each element meticulously placed, evoking the natural beauty of sandy shores bathed in sunlight. Giorgos’s artistry brought forth a sense of serene coastal elegance, seamlessly blending with the azure backdrop of the Kyparissiakos Gulf.

Every grain of sand delicately positioned, every shell and driftwood accent thoughtfully chosen—it all contributed to an ambiance that whispered of sun-drenched days and salty sea breezes. The tabletop became a focal point, not just for its visual appeal, but for the emotive connection it forged with our seaside setting.[/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”][/field]
[field title=”DIY Moments”]As the organizer of this workshop, DIY moments were woven into every aspect of our editorial, reflecting both the challenges and the personal touches that made this project truly special. From scouting the perfect location to handling logistics and calling in favors from dear friends, the journey was a labor of love and dedication, fueled by passion for perfection.

Two memorable anecdotes come to mind:

Firstly, the rustic wooden benches used for the wedding ceremony were sourced from La Bodegueta beer house, a beloved establishment in Patras, Greece. My connection with this place runs deep—from being a loyal patron to eventually working as a bartender there for over five years. Despite the years that have passed, our bond remains strong, and when they offered their support, I gladly accepted their gesture. The benches not only added charm but also carried a sentimental thread that resonated throughout our seaside celebration.

Secondly, our shoot location at Kakovatos beach, nearly two hours from Patras city center, posed logistical challenges, especially for our makeup artist, Vasiliki Zorba, and hair expert, Koralia. With their base in Patras, ensuring our models arrived pristine and styled required meticulous planning. This responsibility fell to Nikolia Kamperou, my cherished girlfriend—a seasoned professional in both fashion and fine jewelry. Nikolia devoted herself to Vasileia, our bride model, providing unwavering support and impeccable styling throughout the shoot.

Another charming DIY touch that added flair to our photoshoot was the vintage turquoise Vespa that stole the show. This iconic scooter belongs to my good friend and talented car mechanic, Nick Kosmas. Our friendship goes way back, and it was in 2022 that Nick entrusted me to photograph his wedding—a role I took on with immense pride, capturing timeless memories for him and his bride.

During their pre-wedding session, Nick brought out a few gems from his impressive collection, including a classic Volkswagen T2 and the stunning vintage turquoise Vespa that immediately captured my heart. Little did I know that a few years down the line, I would find myself asking Nick if I could borrow that very Vespa for our editorial shoot.

Nick’s generosity and our shared passion for craftsmanship and aesthetics turned this Vespa into more than just a prop—it became a symbol of friendship and shared memories. Its vibrant color and timeless design perfectly complemented our seaside theme, adding an authentic touch of vintage elegance to the photographs.

This Vespa, with its storied history and personal connection, epitomizes the spirit of DIY collaboration and the meaningful relationships that enrich every project I undertake. It’s moments like these that make each editorial not just a showcase of artistry, but a celebration of friendship and shared passions.

These stories embody the spirit of collaboration and dedication that defined our workshop. Each DIY moment was a testament to the creativity and resilience of our team, turning challenges into opportunities to create something truly extraordinary.[/field]

Modern Elegance Meets Sunset Hues at This Dreamy Santorini Destination Wedding

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]The inspiration for this design was to honor the skyline and place, while adding a burst of joyous color. With clear open skies, stark whitewashed buildings, and those deeply saturated blue domes, the deep pink hues of this palette really popped. Oia Mansion is perched at the very height of Oia (it’s the tallest spot) so the views are uninterrupted and absolutely stunning. We kept the floral low and chairs clear, so they wouldn’t obstruct the view, mixed in bright citrus (nothing says “Greece!” like lemons!) and added soft luxurious touches to contrast the more modern elements. The cake design, modern and simple, was meant to evoke the rough edges of the skyline, while domed elements worked their way into the stationery suite.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Vibrant sunset shades of pinks, orange, and yellow, with rose gold accents.[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]Oia Mansion is situated at the highest points in Oia, perched above the famous Oia Castle. This historic and neoclassical Sea-Captain’s mansion has been in the same family for generations and offers unobstructed Caldera views. The reception was set on the rooftop terrace, overlooking the water. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Three beautiful ensembles made their appearances throughout the day! For the ceremony, the first, most formal look was a Mikado Basque-Waist gown by La Premiere, which added a luxurious touch. The heavier fabric was perfect for staying just-so during the windier afternoon. The slightly creamier, ivory tone created a gorgeous contrast against the bright white of the iconic Santorini backdrop. The Eden Luxe Bridal cathedral length veil incorporated an organic, climbing rose motif, which picked up elements of the pink roses in the ceremony decor.

The second look was pleated chiffon gown by Yumi Katsura, which was perfect for a portrait session in the winding narrow streets. The lighter material billowed in the sea breeze, and the waistline and pleating mimicked classical Grecian designs, a nod to the beautiful setting.

Finally, for some sparkle, the final look was a custom-label beaded mini dress from Designer Loft NYC, which picked up on the shine of the mirrored table. It was paired with a short party veil with a matching beaded edge.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Party”][/field]

[board_carousel title=”Fashion”]

[/board_carousel]
[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Blush Floral Design did a beautiful job of bringing the bright, vivid, and lush design to life. We chose a design that would allow maximum flexability – tall arches for the ceremony that could be relocated to frame the couple during the reception (and even to relocate to a new ceremony area, given the gusts of wind in the afternoon!) and lush aisle meadows, which added a quiet luxury to the ceremony space, and reappeared at the reception. We wanted the lush florals to feel like they were growing up organically from the space, and tucking these aisle meadows under the edges of the clear tables did just that, and also framed the beautiful cake. Pops of yellow picked up the famous Santorini sunshine, and bright citrus fruits added a fragrant touch. The deeply saturated colors were chosen to contrast against the bright blues of the sky, water, and domes, and to reflect the colors of the sunset over the Caldera.[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]I loved the mix of textures – silky napkins, pinkish-purple cut crystal glasses, blushing rose-gold elements and the modern, sleek mirrored surface of the table created visual interest while keeping the color palette of the tabletop simple.[/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]A mirrored tabletop is an incredible way to double your centerpiece florals and double your candlelight. The surface reflects the sky throughout the evening, so the color shifts and changes on the table. We opted for clear chargers to help showcase as much of the surface as possible, and loved how the candlelight danced across the table throughout the evening! [/field]

Savoring the Sweetness of Pastel Hues in the Cycladic Island of Paros, Greece

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Pastels and greek sunsets were the wedding colors and inspiration![/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]John’s mom's side of the family is Greek and he grew up going there every
summer. We went together in the summer of 2019 and I fell in love with the islands. We knew
having our family and friends flying across the globe was a big feat, so we did everything in our
power to make the trip worth it. We wanted to make the most out of the island, allowing for the
effortless views of Paros to set the vibe for the wedding, ultimately the Greek sunset was our focal
point and theme. It was the inspiration behind our invitations, flowers, color scheme, everything
really! We also love the feeling you get when you’re in Italy so our wedding planners did an
incredible job merging the Greek and Italian influences together when it came to the design and decor.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]John and I met
in Long Island, (shout out to Bumble for the formal introduction) the summer of 2018. We both
lived in NYC when we matched and realized we would both be away that weekend, staying about
20 minutes away from each other. Once the weekend came, both of our friend groups made plans to
go to a bar called Southampton Social, what were the odds? We met up at the bar, took shots (lol),
feeling like we had known eachother forever. After that weekend, days barely went by without us
hanging out and seeing each other, friend groups blending seamlessly together. Fast forward to 4 ½
years later, John proposed in our apartment in Greenwich Village. I was rushing back home from a
workout class to get ready because we had dinner with his brother and sister in law that night, or so
I thought. I walked into our apartment with Rihanna’s Love on the Brain blasting and roses
everywhere. I was in complete shock and could barely put words together besides WTF, the
proposal video could attest. We had dinner at our favorite restaurant, L’Artusi, and John had our
friends waiting at a bar nearby to celebrate with us. Round 2 of celebrations started the next day,
we flew to Miami to celebrate with my family and friends back home.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]John’s uncle is a designer and owns a bridal
company called Demetrios, so I was lucky enough to get both of my dresses custom made. I had a
vision in mind and we went back and forth, with the final sketch being exactly what I envisioned.
For the second dress, they showcased a piece that they created for me and I was in complete awe! I
wanted to do something fun, vibrant and light for the second dress since the father daughter dance
was a salsa song (I’m half cuban) – and the dress served its purpose![/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Our cocktails we’re
so inline with who we are and our everyday cocktail choices, we got a kick out of naming them – we
chose Steph’s Green Juice (Gin, Cucumber, lime and mint) and J-Nice Margs (a mezcal margarita),
and Maria’s Mojito (needed to add a little cuban cocktail to the menu, of course)The food menu was influenced by our greek and latin roots – eating dinner family style. We decided
to create a menu that incorporated fish, lamb and pork with every side you can think of.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]greek florals meets tuscan greenery inspired the
florals and decor. I wanted the decor to feel inviting, cozy yet still allowing for a wow factor, and i
think we captured it![/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We’re a bit embarrassed to admit, we didn’t give
the wedding cake too much thought until “last minute” so we went for a simple vanilla cake with
florals that went with our decor. It ended up coming out beautiful![/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]We decided on live music for the cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception and party.
We loved hosting dinner parties at our NYC apartment so we created a playlist
specifically for dinner that helped set the vibe with the likes of Frank Sinatra, The Johns – Legend
& Mayer, Mariah Carey, Fugees, Stevie Wonder – you get the jist.
Party playlist was a mix of our favorites from the 2000’s with a mix of dance songs.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]The flower girls and ring bearers outfits were SO cute. The flower girl dresses even had a bow to
match mine. I’m proud of those outfits.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The entire day felt like a dream but some of my top favorite moments were our first dance and the
dance with my dad.
For John and mine’s first dance – we chose To Love Somebody by the Beegees, leading up to the
day I couldn’t hear the song without crying (happy tears) and you can tell by the wedding day we
were smiling and laughing together as we danced, no tears in sight.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]For my second look, I decided to change in time for my dance with my father to Marc Anthony’s
Vivir La Vida. Being Cuban and Peruvian, it was important to incorporate my roots into the day,
and our dance did just that. Our guests, especially those who aren’t Latin, got a kick out of a father daughter salsa dance! I’m so grateful I was able to share such a special moment with my father. My
grandparents would’ve been so, so proud.[/field]

Summer Inspiration in a Private Garden on the Greek Riviera

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]Inspiration for the project started from the… tree! Yes, you read this right – it was the blossom of Angel’s Trumpet – one of the common trees in Athens Riviera – with its magnificent yellow flowers. One of the goals we always pursue in our styled shoots is to embrace the richness of the location and to discover its specialties to the couples looking for unique place to tie the knot.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The color of course was predetermined – shades of yellow and orange. Not to mention that the tangerines, which we used in the decorations, were carefully foraged around the garden we photographed in![/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]The venue was the private garden, inspiring us to offer an idea of embracing the intimate celebrations in family houses like this one. This is kind of a “quiet luxury” for us – having your unique venue, which nobody else will ever be able to replicate![/field]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Oh did we let ourselves go creative with the florals! Not only did Svitlana from Sweet Kvitka foraged the bloomings offered by the land of Athenian Riviera itself, but she added some home-grown tulips which traveled all the way from her London garden.[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]We don’t want to be that obvious, but the Angels’ Trumpet flower did become the center element for us. And it opened up in all its beauty in a composition created by Svitlana with a antique-inspired greek vase and branches of tangerines straight from the tree.[/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]A good point to start is to look what the location you chose can offer for you – in terms of floristics, venues, traditions, ideas, colors etc. Listen to what has response in your heart and embrace the simplicity over complication. Choose the main element to build all the concept around – this way you’ll be able to communicate with designers and other vendors. Try to search for venues not only on wedding web-sites, but explore the private houses for rent or boutique hotels, or – visit your family house to pay tribute to your family heritage![/field]

A Celebration of Love in the Cycladic Island of Paros in Greece

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

They based their color palette on mostly whites with some terracotta accents, gold accents, neutral-colored stationery, and an overall modern aesthetic.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Once they started planning their wedding, their vision was of an intimate wedding which was to be witnessed by their closest family and friends.
They therefore decided to hold a destination wedding in Paros, as Shannon’s family has roots in Greece and they were in love with the island.
The wedding took place at a private villa overlooking the cliffs and the Aegean sea with an olive grove at the back yard where they hosted a modern and romantic dinner under a canopy of fairy lights and stars. [/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Michelle and Shannon met at their first job, working in accounting in California. They hit it off immediately, and after spending time together, they found out that they had so much in common. They loved spending at the beach, cooking, and being with friends and family. It did not take long for them to realize they were soul mates, so Shannon decided to propose in one of their favorite locations, on the beach in a small coastal town in California.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

Since Michelle is vegan, they wanted their menu to incorporate a lot of vegan dishes but at the same time be inspired by the Greek cuisine, which is known for its use of lots of organic vegetables. Therefore they offered their guests lots of traditional Greek dishes, an authentic local culinary experience. For their signature cocktails, they chose to pay tribute to their adorable dog Kobe, who unfortunately could not travel all the way to Greece for their celebrations.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Shannon’s vision was very modern and loving whites while Michelle wanted a more romantic spin to the decor. Therefore we mixed soft terracottas and light ochre florals with white in their wedding decor.
For the ceremony the priority was to keep the focus on the magnificent Aegean sea background, so the couple decided to exchange vows in a low circular arrangement surrounded by blooms.
We designed their seating chart, using local ceramic pottery from Paros, in handwritten calligraphy which added a very special local touch of Greek authenticity in their wedding aesthetic.
Their dinner reception was set at the backyard of the villa under a canopy filled with twinkling fairy lights and hundreds of candles for a romantic ambience.
[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]In line with the modern decor theme of their wedding the couple choose a three tiered white wedding cake with a thin strand of white flowers for a little romance and a minimalistic style. [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]The ceremony was officiated by Shannon’s father, who has been officiating weddings for many years. However, having the honour to do this for his beloved daughter and her other half, was truly emotional and one of the most touching and unforgetable moments of that day. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]As part of their decor the couple wanted a more modern guestbook for their wedding. Therefore they decided to have an audio guestbook instead, as a keepsake of their family and friends voices, from their special day, for years to come. [/field]

Glamorous Pastel Wedding In Greece

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The wedding colors were white, pastel blue, pastel pink, and pastel purple.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

It would come as no surprise that a couple as dreamy as Zue and Nico, would have a wedding that looked like a dream. The Event Company made sure of that, by creating an absolutely ethereal and romantic vibe, to match this couple’s energy! Getting married in front of a breathtaking pastel floral arch by Pavlos the Flower Workshop, overlooking the Aegean Sea, is undoubtedly a dream come true! Enjoy the beautiful details at the full gallery captured by Elias Kordelakos, Zue and Nico really wanted the calmness and tranquility of their love to be expressed through the elements of the decoration. From the preparations to the reception party, all those details were carefully curated by The Event Company and the result speaks for itself! Thistle cards did an exceptional work at capturing the elegance of Zue & Nico on their stationery items.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

It all started on a warm summer day in June 2014. Zue, a sweet 21-year-old at the time, was already sitting at her desk, eagerly awaiting the start of the internship program at Citi. Suddenly, a tall, handsome German guy called Nico came into the room and sat down right next to her. Zue couldn’t believe how lucky she was and wanted to say “hi” to him, but before she could even open her mouth, he took out a large 1.5L bottle of Diet Coke and put it right in front of her. “Dude, are you okay?” she asked him. Nico was confused – “Why would such a cute girl ask if I’m okay?” he thought, and politely responded with a “Yes, I’m great, I just don’t like water!” Zue clearly knew how to break the ice, and from that day, both of them became good friends, and the chemistry was visible to everyone around them. One year later, in the fall of 2015, the inevitable happened – Zue and Nico fell madly in love with each other. With a 2-year COVID delay, Nico finally popped the question in June 2021, 7 years after they first met, and now both can’t wait to celebrate their love for each other with their loved ones!

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

The beautiful couple danced their first dance as a married couple to the song “No Ordinary” by the Labyrinth, as they felt that their love was compared to no other! They went for dance lessons with Captiv8 dance to choreograph a routine for them. It was a very fun pre-wedding activity. The Father/daughter dance was You’ll Be in My Heart by Phil Collins. This song from the Disney show, Tarzan which Zue watched growing up, gave a very sweet sentimental feeling to this moment.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

For this fall wedding, a big and beautiful transparent tent was constructed by Tentstyle, and guests were romantically gathered under fairy lights, which made the scenery completely magical! Loud and clear, they made the room feel like a fairytale, and once the party started, they switched the mood to classy nightclub energy! When you plan a wedding, each creative proposal you make is inspired by the bride’s and the groom’s personalities and dynamics. WhileThe Event Company team was getting to know Zue & Nico during the planning process, they couldn’t miss the “unconditional love” vibes that were coming from them.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Every little detail had to be “All About Romance”, because Zue & Nico were as in love the day of their wedding, as they were the day we met! Their happiness, joy, and positive energy completely projects on this incredible and colorful Wedding Cake by Pavlov’s Lab.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Needless to mention that tears streamed down everyone’s faces when the speeches about their love were made. But Zue & Nico knew how to cheer their guests back up, with an impressive champagne popping an amazing choreography for their first dance – almost professional I should say, that ended with a movie-like “true love’s kiss”![/field]

Sleek and Chic Wedding on Athens Riviera In Greece

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Classic whites and elegant pastels such as soft pinks, creams, and hints of crimson.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]We recently moved from New York to Hong Kong, so we knew we wanted a destination wedding. Our friends and family would be flying in from all over the world. Alice’s cousin just moved to Athens last year and fell in love with it. She was able to help us look at all the different wedding venues. The food, culture, and weather are amazing in Greece and we couldn’t have asked for a better destination. [/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]We were in the South of France together on vacation. On our 2nd night, Ryan suggested we go for a walk before dinner. He had sneakily gotten help with setting up a beautiful private area with champagne and signs that said “marry me” right near the edge of a cliff. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]I had a blast choosing my wedding dresses! My first dress was a jaw-dropping backless beaded laced mermaid gown by Millanova. It felt like it was meant to be. I saw a photo gown in December 2022 (the day we booked the Grand Resort Lagonissi!) and was instantly in love. A shop here in Hong Kong carried this design. I tried on the dress in the sample size (which did not fit!) but both my mother and I knew there was nothing else. The most efficient bridal gown shopping in history. The second dress was to honor tradition from my Chinese background. A red qipao is traditional and signifies love, wealth and happiness. I wore that at dinner to cheers every table and say thank you for celebrating our special night. I had a third dress too! A strapless, champagne lace number that was perfect for dancing the night away. Plus, I didn’t have to worry about tripping over my heels! [/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Saying “I do” in Greece means indulging in a foodie adventure and treating your guests to a feast of local delicacies that will make their taste buds dance with joy. Our wedding reception was a mouth-watering spread of creamy cheeses, crisp salads bursting with Greek herbs, succulent seafood (lobster, anyone?), live roast, pasta making station and a meat-lover’s paradise. We did not neglect the midnight snacks – we kept it simple but oh-so-tasty, with plenty of desserts, mango sherbet, and a generous helping of chocolate to keep the party going strong. To quench the thirst of sweet-toothed, fruity, bitter, and licorice lovers, we had Negroni (Mezcal or Regular), while Old Fashioned was the top choice of Ryan, my heart’s VIP. And since feeling the heat is a given when partying, the Spicy Paloma, with its zingy flavor, was ready to zing our guests’ taste buds. We made things easy for everyone with an open bar that had all-time favorites like Campari, Martinis, Vodka, and Gin so that everyone could have their poison of choice and bliss out.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Wedding bells mean floral spells, right? Our wedding style and floral dial called for elegant pastels with David Austin and English garden roses, just like our moms love. We wanted our wedding to smell like a sophisticated dream, and boy did it! We asked our florist for a rectangular arbor with sheer drapes, symbolizing our solid bond and the breezy adventures we’ll be taking together. The aisle was a blooming beauty, and my bridal bouquet was a showstopper. I chose Duchesse de Nemours peonies which are a very old and extremely pretty kind, and Festiva Maxima peonies, bursting with frills and crimson flecks. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We opted for a simple white cake adorned with fresh flowers. We wanted to stick to tradition and slice a piece, but our main focus was to spoil our guests with various flavors. The cake was a total eye candy, tailor-made for the occasion We were treated to a heavenly combo of butterscotch and lemon vanilla, which felt so good since we were famished the entire day!

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]We met on modern technology – a dating app! But we soon found out we were graduated the same year from the same university and even lived in the same dorm hall in our first year :) It wasn’t until years later, in Jan 2020, that we met one cold winter day in New York for our first date. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]We were in the South of France together on vacation. One our 2nd night, Ryan suggested we go for a walk before dinner. He had sneakily gotten help with setting up a beautiful private area with champagne and the signs that said “marry me” right near the edge of a cliff. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]The ceremony was magical. Saying vows in front of all of our loved ones was above and beyond. My advice to future brides/grooms is that it will be the best day of your life. Rain or shine – it will pass by so quickly. Definitely don’t forget to breathe and make sure you have some intimate and special moments with your partner! [/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Mikaela and Konstantin have been together for a very long time, 15 years! They went to high school together, back in Luxembourg. After many years of distance relationship, mainly because of Mikaela going to medical school, they moved together in London where they still live. The proposal took place in July 2020, as they just emerged from the first Covid lockdown, on the beautiful cliffs on the south coast of England. [/field]

From the bride… I tried on a few different styles of wedding dresses but kept returning to the style of a large A-line dress with a train in satin and a lace top. The dress I chose was from Rosa Clara, it has an open back with a bow (I love bows!) and a lace top with a large satin skirt. I chose to wear a vail for the ceremony to make it a little bit more formal.

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]The bridesmaids, draped in matching dusty blue dresses, embody a serenity that complements the lush surroundings. [/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

The groom wore a black tie dinner jacket and trousers with a tailor made white dress shirt and a bow tie, which matched with the groomsmen in black with a very subtle dark navy blue floral pattern. The groom and groomsmen, attired in impeccable black tie ensembles, exude sophistication and timeless style.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Having two priests from different religions felt like a very personal touch! They also sang hymns in English and Swedish. The music choices were very personal, for the bride’s entrance a piano piece from a Swedish composer was chosen, one that means a lot to the bride. The music played when they exited the ceremony was also carefully chosen, it was “I’m a believer” by The Monkees, a fun, upbeat song with beautiful lyrics. This was definitely one of our couples favourite moments as it lifted up the entire ceremony and everyone sang along and smiled as they threw rice!
They then had a number of music pieces to introduce every speaker (a Swedish wedding has many speeches) which was a fun touch.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Mikaela and Konstantin’s wedding unfolds with a tapestry of special details that elevate their celebration to a true masterpiece. The delicate stationery, adorned with intricate botanical elements, serves as a prelude to the natural elegance that awaits. [/field]

A Blend of Greek Finesse and Scottish Heritage Styled to Perfection

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Ioanna Karatza, the even’ts planner shares: ‘Julia and I clicked right away! From our first call I knew I had to work together with an elegant bride who knew exactly what she wanted for her dream day!
So, when colors popped in our discussion, olive green was a must to honor her Greek roots and powder pink combined with touches of rusted gold were perfect to emphasize on the luxury of the day. ‘[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Details incorporated to remind everyone of the Greek finesse and the Scottish heritage! We meant to design a timeless chic wedding that would be remembered in the years to come. Enchanted by our majestic sea view location of the wedding reception and a chic décor in pal tones of pink and pistachio green, we hosted a party for guests arriving in Greece from 14 different countries around the world! And believe me, goal was achieved! The party ended early next morning![/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Our beloved bride shares: ‘A January weekend in one of our favourite getaway cities – Milan. The story unfolds with an exquisite first evening performance of Romeo and Juliet at la Scala. As both well acquainted with the city from the time we both lived there (though at different times – in a parallel universe), we spent most of the following day walking through with picturesque streets of Brera, enjoying food in familiar spots and marking off our list one activity we both had managed to miss during our time in Milan. The duomo terrace. We went there during sunset and were mesmerised by the colourful symphony, in perfect harmony with the architecture marvel around us. To top the weekend, a romantic dinner at “Langosteria”. Back to our hotel, my now husband was insisting on a drink by the patio – during a very cold January evening – and his sweet persuasion had us sooner rather than later walking down the gardens of Bulgari Hotel. I soon came to realise the surprise awaiting, a table for two filled with opulent flowers, embellished by candles and champagne under a clear starry sky. As we sat down and my darling started speaking, I could not help my heart skipping a beat. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect moment for us to declare our love for one another and embark on this trip together. ‘[/field]

I was fortunate to find my special one in Milan, at “Nicole Milano” surrounded by my mother and my closest friends. The versatility achieved in one dress, a strapless French chiffon dress ideal for the almost-summery Greek party reception transforming into a classic outfit accompanied by a lace bolero for our ceremony was the winning combination. ‘[/field]

A proud Scotsman, wearing his kilt with honour as it embodies his enduring heritage and tradition. Especially created and tailored by Kinloch Anderson for the occasion, featuring the tartan and colours of the groom’s clan. A proper kilt is usually accompanied by a sporran, a small bag worn around the waist and over the kilt. It’s the Gaelic word for purse; A kilt pin holds the two pieces together at the front; and the Sgian dubh (skee-an doo) is a small dagger that sits in the sock.[/field]

The Catholic cathedral of Athens was imposing with a majestic beauty that required little to no decorative embellishments, the perfect venue for our special day in the heart of Athens. ‘[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Our beloved bride shares:

‘Luckenbooth – the heart-shaped ornament proudly worn by the groom.

The Luckenbooth Brooch is an enduring Scottish symbol of love, friendship and good luck, strongly associated with Edinburgh. Traditionally made of silver and sometimes set with a Cairngorm or gemstones, the Luckenbooth design is typically heart-shaped, or two hearts intertwined, surmounted by a crown.The first Luckenbooth brooches date from the late seventh century. This traditional gift was given by a man to his sweetheart on their betrothal – on our modern day version, this was one of the bride’s surprises to her beloved for their special moment.'[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]From George Liopetas:

My favorite detail from Julia and David’s wedding was their kind souls. I was more than honored to meet them in person for the first time and shoot the pre wedding session of these two sweethearts back in New York, were I spent my last winter while my time there for New York Fashion Week. I always admired the good people, especially when ‘good’ is perfectionated with kindness, smiling and warm heart. We had some amazing portraits beginning from the Bethesda fountain. After a few really really cold minutes, we decided to have a walk at Central Park (by the way, Central Park is so amazing during the winter days too) ending our walk at The Met, where we had some fancy portraits, too. Finally, we visited Morgan Library, where we ended having some classy yet ‘so in fashion’ portraits, as the library portrait session is so in fashion right now in NYC.

How to Properly Infuse Softness and Fine Artistry to a Modern Venue

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]

Erato from 5th Muse Wedding Planning Agency says “The beauty of design truly shines when we artfully blend two seemingly disparate elements, weaving them into a tapestry of harmony and coherence. Our recent Wedding Styling Bridgerton-inspired photoshoot was a testament to this concept, as we sought to infuse an aura of softness and fine artistry into a thoroughly modern and upscale venue. The vibrant bloom of spring flowers strikingly contrasted the nature’s backdrop, giving life to an open garden celebration.”

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The enchanting color palette we chose for this grand affair was a delicate fusion of soft light blue, radiant yellow, and pristine white. These colors, reminiscent of the early 19th century, gracefully adorned every aspect of our event, from the sumptuous floral arrangements to the exquisite table settings. The soft light blue whispered of courtly sophistication, while the yellow added a touch of sunlit vibrancy, and the white exuded purity and grace. Together, these hues created an atmosphere of timeless beauty, evoking the charm and opulence of the Bridgerton era, making this photoshoot a breathtaking journey into the past.[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]

Golf Prive Glyfada is an iconic wedding venue in Greece. The lush gardens of Golf Prive Glyfada, are surrounded by the embrace of nature’s beauty. This idyllic setting adds an extra layer of enchantment to your special day. Under the open sky, amid blossoming flowers and lush greenery, your love story will truly come to life.

The wedding gown stole our hearts that moment we laid our eyes on its amazing fabric. Made Bride by Antonea created a masterpiece as all gowns in her collection. Every year, she remains loyal to the characteristics that made brides love her gowns: the insistence on detail and the handcrafted decorative elements that are placed by hand piece by piece. Our bride looked like an angel… She was the epitome of grace and elegance, covered with the glow of wedding haute couture. Of course, the magic touch of Ioanna Karkantelou for the bride’s hair and makeup added a divine wedding look. The groom’s tailormade suit made him look as if he popped out of the Bridgerton series. The light blue tulle dress we carefully selected for the celebrant was a true standout, showcasing a level of uniqueness that was nothing short of enchanting. Its ethereal layers of tulle exuded a sense of timeless elegance that effortlessly harmonized with the romantic ambiance of our Bridgerton era inspiration.

Under the artistry of Erato Flessa from 5th Muse Wedding Planning Agency, the magic of spring seemed to descend from above, draping the wedding table and ceremony space in spring florals. Our journey began with a single, exquisite floral dinner plate, its foliage and blossoms inspiring the graceful descent of flowers from the luxurious handmade candles on our dinner table. We carefully infused our design with a touch of elegance through an artistic floral pattern, which found its place in various elements: the table setting, the ceremony backdrop, and the delicate wedding stationery. Our floral arrangement took inspiration from the captivating anemones and roses that played a starring role throughout our wedding design. We celebrated this timeless flower’s resurgence by showcasing its white petals and soft yellow hues, paired with other soft and romantic textures, we created a captivating contrast that resonated throughout the entire design. Our expansive 10-person table stood as a centerpiece of grandeur in the open veranda. It served as a canvas for a garden that appeared to grow from its very heart, reaching upward toward the entire backyard. Each detail on the table was thoughtfully selected, from the fine china to the vines gracefully descending towards the dinner crystals, maintaining an air of elegance.

[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]

Within our treasure trove of design elements, two shine with a distinct radiance. First, the cake, a masterful creation by Cake it Easy, captured the essence of our bridal aesthetics. Finding the perfect wedding cake for your big day is a challenging task for all brides-to-be in the world. This whimsical flower-adorned wedding cake is the masterpiece we were dreaming of. Secondly, our invitation suite, thoughtfully designed by 5th Muse, epitomizes modern elegance through carefully selected design choices. These include sophisticated typography, delicate handmade paper in soft hues, a venue illustration, and a custom envelope. Each element was chosen with care to seamlessly blend with the overall decor and presentation of the wedding day. These ethereal handpainted and handcrafted wedding invitations would match almost any wedding style and color palette giving an extra drop of the Bridgerton era.

[/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]

If the idea of a second look has crossed your mind, why not consider a choice that resonates with your initial attire on a more personal level? Choose something that could easily paired with your first wedding gown. One tip: trust your Wedding Planner and plan ahead for your second look.

Simplistic Elegance In Greece With A Classic Blue And White Color Palette

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The wedding colors chosen were exactly what someone would expect to see at a Greek island wedding. Make a short time travel and follow your Mamma Mia! dremas. Olive branches and pinches of white florals (oxypetalium) were used to both the church and venue decoration, while the white and blue stationery completed the overall design, keeping it simple and elegant.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]As the island has its own unique character, the bride wanted to enhance its natural beauty and highlight the simplicity of the island.
The vibe that inspired the overall design was to make it feel like a large family gathering, a real Greek experience that the guests coming from abroad had never experienced before. The story behind the location is this. Our beloved bride, coming from Nafpaktos, moved to San Fransisco when she was young. Years after, and so in love, she decided to come back to her favorite island where she used to have during her summer breaks![/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Foodwise, “Fakalos / Talks Catering” prepared a Greek style buffet menu, titled ‘It’s all Greek to me’.
All choices were based on Greek cuisine, using exceptional Mediterranean ingredients and extra virgin olive oil.
“Horiatiki” salad,
eggplants “Imam”” – cooked the traditional Constantinople way – and spinach pie with hand-crafted “phyllo”-pastry & feta cheese.
Alongside, there was seafood such as fresh calamari stuffed with rice and herbs, ovencooked anchovies with fresh tomato and octopus slowly cooked with “kokaria” (small onions).
For main course, there were spit-roasted lambs, slowly cooked on a rotisserie over charcoal fire.
This is a typical Greek way of cooking that goes back to ancient Athens, when the Greeks would sacrifice animals to be favoured by their Gods!
For dessert, the newely weds had chosen ‘Pavlova’. Although this is not a traditional Greek recipe, the couple chose it for their wedding menu and mentioned that “this should be the trademark of Fakalos / Talks Catering”!
This is a “meringue cup”, filled with creme patisserie, fresh strawberries and homemade syrup topped with icing!
As for a later dessert, traditional “loukoumades” were served. These are small round-shaped doughnuts, deep-fried on site, served with pine honey and crushed walnuts![/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Olive branches and pinches of white florals (oxypetalium) were used to both the church and venue decoration, while the white and blue stationery completed the overal design, keeping it simple and elegant. [/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Another amazing detail that truly moved me were the earrings and all the fine and vintage jewelry our beloved bride wore. They belonged to her beloved grandmother and shared with us that she could not left them off her wedding outfit. Those kind of stories are the ones that make us think that the wedding is not only about the fashion, it’s also about the family and the emotions. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]As a photographer and nostalgic person, I have always had a thing for places that made us time travel to the old world romance. To the days, when men were still gentlemen and women were princes. To the days when villages were still full of people, movement and happiness. My third special thing from this wedding celebration, was the island. The island’s picturesqueness, the island’s purity, the island’s architecture. If you haven’t been to Greece and especially Trizonia island, then you totally should.

Dreamy Chateau Wedding Inspiration Straight From The Heart Of Athens

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]

How about a castle fairytale with a flavor of Greek charm? Fall in love with this editorial shoot that took place in Greece! We know that when you think of Greece, you dream of either ancient historic buildings or amazing island scenery. But how about a chateau wedding inspiration? We are sure that you will fall in love as we managed to get the Queen’s castle for an exclusive wedding editorial. Music is what makes us calm down, music is what makes us all dream… Music is what makes us move forward, and music has the ability to make this tear you try to keep jailed on your eye, drop! Music is what made us dream of this workshop, and through music, we are going to express the feelings these images make us feel a few months after this event took place. The entire event was planned perfectly by the prestigious Ioanna Karatza. An amazing and so so talented human being that is willing to give her 200% of power in every event. A sensitive and romantic, yet true professional that made us feel calm and relaxed and made Pyrgos Vasilissis her playground, as she and her associates made the chateau look like it came out of a lullaby. Main characters of this shoot? Jim Labraco with his dreamy floral creations, and Dimitra Antonea, owner and designer of Made Bride, made our bride the one and only ‘Dancing Queen’ – in the more romantic way, of course. Isn’t this moon-shaped multi-colored rose floral arrangement the best thing you have ever seen? Our groom’s fashion was this exquisite suit created by Papadogamvros, and it is part of his collection for the famous Greek basketball players, the Antetokounmpo brothers. ‘Happiness is a butterfly,’ as beloved Lana says, and all I can share with you for this butterfly shoe by Bella Belle Shoes is just the word W O W… Looking back on this pair of heels, all I can feel is happiness and joy! VVassia Papakonstantinou was the lady behind the beauty of our models, and speaking of happiness, what made us even more ‘Happy’ was the amazing happening by the unique Kibeli – the Photo Booth and the so so classy invitation suite created by Mr. Pavlos Leventelis, the man behind Atelier Invitations. The entire event was filmed by the talented team of White Filming, under the direction of the talented Periklis Papandreopoulos. Last but not least, what made our flatlays ‘Shine’ even more was the fine jewelry by Iordanis Manufacturing Jewelry Gems and the classy ring boxes by the ‘Velweds’ ring box suite. Greece is such an amazing place with millions of hidden gems. We, the co-founder of YOU the Workshop George Liopetas, and the entire team wish you all the best, and look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful Greece.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Colors are what makes a blank canvas stand out. Colors arewhy the world goes around. Colors are what we chose for this princely editorial. From the million-tonal canvas of florals to the amazing and colorful tailor creation by Made Bride. From the navy blue suit, our groom ROCKED to the greenery all around our exquisite chateau venue. Nevertheless, we didn’t want a strong color – that one that would step out of the crowd. We wanted a huge palette of colors that would make a strong team – like the one we had between all the vendors who worked hard for this workshop.

[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]

Pyrgos Vasilissis (which in Greek means The Queen’s Castle) is an amazing chateau-styled castle that can be found close to the center of Athens. Isn’t this amazing? When we began planning all the details for ‘YOU the Workshop,’ we wanted something unique – something amazing and so tasteful for our beloved attendees. And in my opinion, this scenery will make you dream of times only ‘Clair De Lune’ can make you dream of. Teamed up between me (George Liopetas Fine Art Photographs here) and my dear friend Fabijan Vuksic, we wanted to create something unique, something once in a lifetime… I know that this sounds a bit too much, but when you want to offer ‘the best of you,’ the name of a workshop could be no other but ‘YOU the Workshop’.

From Dimitra Antonea, owner and designer of Made Bride: ‘When this romantic and colorful inspired styled shoot at Pyrgos Vasilissis – which is actually a palace in the heart of Athens, the capital of Greece- came to the table, I knew from the very beginning that this gown from “CHARISMA” Collection would be a great match to the concept. Nothing says “royal” more loud and clear than style CHA_21.24, a statuesque whimsical gown that features a deep V neckline embroidered with multicolored floral lace mixed just as well among the tulle and appliqued to the sheer fitted sleeves. A tight waistline determines feminine body posture, and the opulent polka dot tulle skirt in three tiers offers volume and a regal ambiance. It is easy to imagine our beautiful young couple is the next generation of blue bloods with a little twist and get inspired for the coming weddings!’

From Jim Labraco, owner and head floral designer of Jim Labraco: ‘There is a certain magic that comes with creating freestyle arrangements using garden roses, unique wildflowers, and buttery colors. It allows me to tap into my senses and let my creativity guide me, adapting to the natural beauty of the forest. As I gather each element, I envision the final product, carefully selecting each flower and greenery to complement one another. I let the colors and textures speak to me, creating a harmony that feels like it was meant to be. Once the arrangement is complete, it’s like a beautiful masterpiece that brings the essence of the forest indoors. Each bloom tells a story, and I feel grateful to have made something beautiful and unique to bring joy to those who see it.’

[field title=”DIY Moments”]

Loved the moments of I and Fabijan while sharing all the knowledge with our attendees. Day one was the seminar day. We wanted to share EVERYTHING around a wedding day and all the processes of a wedding photographer. From the very early stage of the emails to the final stages of editing and delivering. And that is what we did – we invited friends and colleagues from every field. Apart from the photography knowledge and all the tips I and Fabijan shared, we had also invited Fanis Failadis (Professional Image Editor), Periklis Papandreopoulos (Wedding Filmmaker, Director), Diagoras Vougas (IT & Business Developement), Ioanna Karatza (Planner, Event Designer) and Alexander Giannoulis, album designer and owner of Unico Albums. This was 12 hours of ‘back to school.’ But we enjoyed every moment. Especially at the end of the day when we all enjoyed each other’s company at our ‘Italian night’ where we had our Italian ‘Pizza and Vino’ moment. Day 2 was the editorial day. We began early in the morning by photographing the beautiful The Queen’s Castle. Afterward, talented Fabijan Vuksic had his own time of ‘Flat-lays 101’ where he shared with the attendees his know-how around the flat-lay styling. Directing around the set was my main purpose of the day, and I am happy to share that after 6 hours of editorial shooting, I could only see hugs and smiles while enjoying our fun time around the Kibeli Photobooth, where Chris Kosmas and his team were creating amazing moments for all of us around this beauty called Kibeli. YOU the Workshop is not another seminar or workshop. ‘YOU’ is a mentality, ‘YOU’ is a state of mind. ‘YOU’ is an annual workshop with one and only cause – to share the knowledge around the wedding industry globally.

Bright Fuchsia Blooms and a Supermoon Made for One Epic Greek Wedding!

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The fuchsia and pink color palette created a contrast with the dark blue sky and the overall blue details of the wedding as well as the bridesmaids dresses while achieving a classic mediterranean vibe.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]
If we could catch the moon for them we would! However we had to settle for the ultimate full moon wedding.

The 13th July 2022 Supermoon was just rising behind a subtle layer of clouds. As you can imagine, the largest full moon of the year was beside Brynn and Steve, the focal point of the wedding.

From the unique wedding invitations, to the seating chart, everything was inspired by this extraordinary lighted up sky.

Of course, we could not leave aside Steve’s Greek roots so this “ Big fat Greek Wedding” had something of the “Mama Mia” flair that took everyone on a trip to Skopelos.
[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]According to the newlyweds, after a weekend bouncing around beaches and day parties in Montauk, the stars aligned for them to accidentally meet again, twice.
In typical Greek fashion, Steve had to go to his mother’s island of Evia for business related reasons, where he planned a romantic picnic with delicious charcuterie boards curated from an artisanal delicatessen. During a beautiful sunset over the rolling hills, Steve got down on one knee and popped the question.

In that moment, they both knew that spending the rest of their lives together would be the best decision they would ever make!

A Cycladic Wedding in Paros Island, Greece

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]We wanted our colour palette to be in harmony with the aesthetic of the Reception Venue at Monastiri in Paros island. Therefore we used a lot of neutral colours, earthy tones, natural materials like wood, clay, hammered metals and numerous dried elements that are predominant in the landscape of the Cycladic islands during the summer months. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Alongside with our bride and groom, we developed a design for their wedding decor that tied in with the style of their chosen venue. We identified that there were bohemian elements combined with natural materials and furniture as well as traditional decorative accents in clay and wood.
We also wanted the design to complement the broader surroundings of the island of Paros, which being in the Cyclades offered a wilder beauty. Therefore our purpose was to create an overall aesthetic which felt like all elements used in the decor, from the flowers to the fabrics, stoneware, and other decorative details, were part of the surrounding nature. [/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Patrizia and Florian first met in High School and quickly became god friends.
The more time they spent together, the closer friends they became. After graduating high school they realised there was more to their relationship and they hesitantly decided to give their relationship a try.
Within the following years, they grew closer as a couple despite spending times apart while studying abroad. One of their favourite things to do together, even during the years they were living apart, was to vacation in the bride’s small cottage in the picturesque island of Paros.
2 years before their wedding and while they were on vacation in Paros Florian proposed on the Olive Garden of the cottage. He decorated the trees with countless fairy lights and once the bride said yes, they instantly decided that Paros was the location they wanted to officially celebrate their wedding too. [/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Since the wedding was an intimate affair of 40 guests, the couple wanted a similar feel for their wedding meal. Therefore they chose a family-style dinner curated by Miltiadis Kioukas, with shared plates. They only opted for Mediterranean inspired dishes and infused in their menu some of their favourite Greek dishes such as handmade traditional pies, Fava from Santorini and a slow cooked lamb with oven baked potatoes. [/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]In the decor design of Patrizia and Florian’s wedding, we used numerous natural elements found in the natural surroundings and Greek landscape. We opted to also match the florals alongside our floral designer Chaniotis, to these elements by using lots of Greece, dried foliage, flower colours in white, ochre and some burgundy touches for a few rustic notes.
We also incorporated elements of wood and brass metals in our place settings alongside neutral tone linens.
To incorporate more of the earth’s beautiful elements, we incorporated rough crystals on each guest’s place cards which symbolise wellbeing, stability and grounding.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]For the cake we wanted to continue with the natural theme of the overall decor aesthetic and opted for a simple two-tired cake with subtle brass detailing and complemented this with a few air plants as a simple yet natural decorative accent. [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Τhe couple worked together with two talented musicians, a singer and pianist to create a more instrumental version of their two favourite songs which they incorporated into the ceremony procession and recession.
They wanted these instrumental versions to be in line with the more informal ceremony that felt like an intimate gathering of their closest friends and family in the couple’s exchange of vows. [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]For the cocktail hour, the coupe wanted to make sure all guests got to know eachother a little better and also get familiarised with the traditions of their chosen wedding destination, Greece.
Therefore, they designed an interactive game where guests were given fun challenges to perform such as, learning and demonstrating a small part of a traditional Greek dance, take funny photos of all guests with a Polaroid camera and record a short video with wedding advise for the couple. [/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

We met on a dating app, bumble, in 2018. I was living in Germany at the time for work and was delayed at a UK airport travelling home. Bradie lived near that airport at the time, so when I downloaded the app, he was the first person to pop up on my screen! The rest is history. We connected instantly, spent the first year visiting each other all the time travelling between London and Cologne and eventually when I moved back to the UK, we moved in together in March 2020 (just before lockdown!) – We are very similar in character and love to live life to the full – we adore travelling and exploring new areas and doing new activities. We love to laugh and regularly make each other cry of laughter, but we are also very loving and sensitive to one another. – Bradie originally wanted to propose to me in the Caribbean but due to the lockdown, our travelling ideas were limited. He instead spent 10 months planning an entire engagement with one of my best friend’s CJ (bridesmaid) without me knowing or suspecting a thing. We love the sea and boats, so he organised for us to go on a yacht for our anniversary – this is where he proposed at sunset! It was absolutely perfect, and to make it even better, he also organised for our parents to come the next day which was an additional and very special surprise. – We are extremely social (we never relax) and enjoy spending as much time as possible with friends and family. – We love capturing special moments and are very hot on taking pictures and videos to capture memories with everything we do – it really means everything to us to capture the moments as naturally and as authentically as possible! – We rarely differ in our opinions on things, and are both very hard-working and ambitious but we also do love winding each other up a lot :) *written by the bride
