While in a romantic trip in Krabi Thailand  1st April 2016 Chris proposed to Stacey . They stayed together for 16 months and they decided to celebrate  their wedding in Santorini in a wonderful, romantic  place  at the rim of the caldera at sunset time . The wedding took place in July 2017 and 53 guests attended the civil ceremony. 
The wedding theme  was romantic bird cage and they were placed in all reception tables, wish book and candy table and they were full with  lilac, cream, white, pink, silver colors flowers.
The Bridal bouquet was off white , blush and lilac roses 
   
There were  2 Bridesmaids, and they wore the Corwin Multi Tie dress from Coast in Lavender. Stacey picked Lavender as it was her Nan’s favorite color so that there would be a part of her at our wedding.

There were also 2 groomsman and 1 best man. Kev (Best man) Dave and Craig were groomsman. They wore a blue suit from Charles Tyrwhitt London. The suit was very light weight but formal so perfect for a Santorini warm wedding and the look Chris wanted.

Stacey's  designer of her dress was San Patrick Barcelona and was called ‘Sandrine’ I actually bought the dress in Dubai when I was on my own in ‘The Wedding Shop’, but I had previously been to London with my Mum to look for a dress and I had found the style that suited me ‘Mermaid/trumpet’ so I just had to find the dress. I fell in love with the ruffles at the bottom of my dress, it sold it for me. I tried on about 35 dresses before I found the one.

The bride wore  a hair piece and earrings from ‘Ivory and Co’ it is a bridal range from the John  Lewis department store. They were elegant and fitted our romantic look we wanted for the wedding.
Stacey's hair was  Hollywood waves. The morning of the wedding, Stacey  decided not to wear her veil as she  loved her hair so much and wanted it on show.The make up  had a fresh look with pink lips to fit the romantic theme of the wedding.

The wedding ceremony took place in one of the most stunning venues in Santorini Gem. The couple has chosen this place because of the location, price and the fact we could have both the ceremony and reception in one place and they let us extend for 2 extra hours from 3pm. We also liked that guests did not have to rent rooms there as it was only a venue. The color palette was light pink mixed with levander

As per Stacey the most memorable moments were :  seeing Chris for the first time down the aisle and  dancing with her  Dad to ‘You are the Sunshine of my Life’ and the first dance with Chris ‘At Last’ Etta James and this was the perfect match with the fireworks blowing in the sky  of Santorini

The favorite part of the wedding was having all families and friends in one place sharing their wedding day with them. Also the Greek dancers, the musicians the Greek food and the fireworks made this wedding unique and special for the couple and their guests .

Here are some questions we asked the bride and we think you can get benefits from her advise 

Did anything funny or unusual happen at your wedding? During Chris’ speech when he was acknowledging absent family, he accidentaly ‘killed off’ one of my uncles who was sat at one of the wedding tables – my Uncle Andrew is still alive it was my uncle Allan that had passed away. Chris said it was ‘Andrew” Andrew luckily made a joke of it and all the guests laughed so much!.
The couple after their wedding for honeymoon they went to
 Singapore and Bali – we stayed in a perfected honeymoon hotel in Bali called ‘The Bale’ in Nusa Dua we had our own private villa with a pool. The Fullerton hotel in Singapore was also amazing!
I want to say thank  to my wedding planner Marryme in Greece for all her help, from designing the wedding, finding the right vendors, legal document support, pre wedding meetings during our initial visit, during our stay in Santorini and the whole wedding day management and coordination and her personal touch to make sure that everything will be as planned 
Below is an advise form the bride which I believe is worth reading and taking into consideration while you are planning your destination wedding in Santorini island Greece
"
Plan well in advance – I started doing a lot the year before the wedding so I had time at the end to spend on detail. Best choice I made getting and extending the videographer 2 more hours to film the dancers and fireworks."
