Ceremony and reception took place in La Mateze with 70
family members, and friends. Dele’s family came all the way from Nigeria . The
main reason Binta choose La Malteze was the location as the venue is
overlooking the caldera and the place was the ideal match for her wedding theme
and style . The theme of the wedding was
White, grey and blush pink and the style
was elegant, stylish yet understated.
Binta had three
bridesmaids , who wore a pale pink,
floor length dress with a high split and low neckline. Stylish, weather
friendly and in keeping with the theme – stylish and understated. Dele had three Groomsmen who all wore a light grey
tailored suit with a white shite and Gold personalised cuff links. The suit was
made by a London designer.
Binta wedding dresses. Binta stated
·
I had three dress One was originally by Rosa Clara,
whoever this was change dramatically after purchasing it in New York. My London
tailor changed the neck like into a V shape with a centre join and re designed
it from a line to mermaid. I loved the material of the Rosa Clara gown but
wanted a more fitted look for the occasion.
·
The second dress was a traditional Yourba dress called
and Iro n Buba made out of a robust Nigerian white lace.
·
The final dress was Berta inspired. The same London
tailor was able to recreate the Berta dress using French lace purchased in New
York with a silk underlay.
Binta wore simple hooped earrings encrusted with stone
along with stone encrusted bangles.
Malkia was Binta’s hair and
make-up designer, who was flown in from London. Binta wanted a soft understated look.
The wedding cake was a three tier cake. The bottom
tiers was a Caribbean fruit cake while the top was a vanilla sponge.
First dance songs was John Legened

Olympia Giannopoulou our wedding planner from Marryme
in Greece, she helped me all the way from the beginning to the end. After proposing various venues, we
finally make up our minds for La Malteze. Then she found and organized the vendors and had an input into
specialist items. She helped me with the planning form day one and she had the day of the
wedding the ceremony and reception overall coordination. She even found within 48 hours
video, as this was a surprise from my family ( a real sort notice to find a
good videographer in Santorini)
My advise to other brides is start the planning as
soon as possible
We had a wonderful honey moon A south African safari and a beach holiday in the
Seychelles.
