This is it, your big day has finally arrived! The hours are rushing by, people are running around getting the preparations ready and your phone will not stop ringing.

Take a moment and breathe. Nobody ever said getting married was going to be easy. If you’re anything like all the other soon-to-be brides, I’m sure you’re worried about how you’re going to look in front of all of your guests. Here’s a few tips to help you nail your perfect wedding look.

1. Stop obsessing about it, silly.

It’s one of the biggest days of your life and you want everything to be perfect, including you.  It helps to internalize that perfection out of those photos will come from a well-rested, happy bride. Your guests are coming to celebrate your love and great accomplishment; they are here to support you and they are going to do that no matter how you look.

The sooner you can relieve the incessant thinking over your big day, the better you’re going to feel. This will exactly show the essence of your confidence and positive-outlook on those wedding photos.

2. Make sure you’re eating enough.

Your wedding is getting close and you probably are looking at those slices of cake with a feeling of dread; knock it off and go have some. It’s essentially not worth the hungry-eyes on the aisle portraits. Regardless, not eating enough is not only terrible for your health, but it will help you look hungry, tired, and cold.

If you want to achieve the legendary bridal glow, make sure you’re eating enough good food during,  and prior to your big day.

3. Make sure you’re sleeping enough.

Just like eating, sleeping is good for you, especially for your skin. Getting enough rest and getting the right rest is going to make a world of difference when you’re aiming to move gracefully in your wedding dress. Getting 8 hours a night on days leading up to your big day is a good start to looking your best.

4. Plan your hairstyle in advance.

Inevitably one of the main stressors on bridal week is hair and wardrobe malfunctions. The key to solving this is proper planning. Figure out exactly what your hair, make-up, and wardrobe are going to be as far in advance as you can.



Life will happen and might force you to consider some changes - and that’s okay. Make those decisions as guided as you can, and make appointments as early as possible. Spend some extra bucks on professional hair and make-up, so you can rest assured that they got you covered on all angles.

5. Take a mental health day.

If ever there was a time to take a day, it’s the day before your wedding. You have undoubtedly earned a day respite from the stress and fuss that goes into planning a wedding. Get some of your friends together and hit the spa. A nice day in a relaxing environment will help you feel reinvigorated for the best day of your life.

If the spa isn’t your thing, go somewhere else that is. Massages and hot towels aren’t the cure, (though they are wonderful) although being with your friends can encourage the feelings of comfort and relaxation that your bridal soul can thrive from.

Stay convinced that the perfect look is always the look of a happy, healthy bride. This gathering is a collection of friends and family who have bended over backwards to travel all this way to celebrate your love. If they shower you with confidence and support, accept it with smiling eyes and an open heart.

The most important thing is that you’re going to be just fine.

Romantic wedding in Santorini - Santa Irene chapel yard


Nov 28, 2018

Young and beautiful, in love and happiness they came all the way from Colorado USA to exchange their vows in the lovely island of Santorini. Vibrant colors was the choice of the bride. She just sent us the color of her shoes and designed their small santorini wedding to color matching flowers and decoration items. The groom in blue suite and no tie in a casual look, was expecting the bride to arrive and escort ther to the ceremony table. A friend read the vows and after the ceremony they gave the promise to each earth for love for ever. A wedding cake was cut after the ceremony and a good bottle of champagne was opened to celebrate their wedding in santorini.

How to count the alcohol and wine for your wedding party


Mar 19, 2018

Although seems easy figuring out the alcohol you need for your guests is confusing. You have so many things to prepare for your destination wedding and to count what you need for the drinks is really hard and time consuming.

There is basic wedding alcohol calculator , that provides you basic at least information hoe to make your count  and it is based on the number of your guests  Below is a count sheet

Open Bar for 100 GUESTS:
  • 70 bottles of wine
  • 175 bottles of beer
  • 15 bottles of liquor (750 ml)
  • 20 bottles of champagne for toast (optional)
150 GUESTS:
  • Selection of alcohol
  • 105 bottles of wine
  • 266 bottles of beer
  • 22 bottles of liquor (750 ml)
  • 30 bottles of champagne for toast (optional)

Calculate How Many Drinks Come in a Bottle You’re Serving

  • 5 glasses of wine in a 750 ml wine bottle (including champagne)
  • 12 drinks in a 750 ml spirit bottle
  • And of course a bottle of beer is one serving.
I found this to be one of the most helpful, clear guides online for your wedding in Greece

 Decide What You Want Your Alcohol Mix to Be

Assuming that you have a full opnebar - you will have to bear in mind the following
 50% of your guests for a destination wedidng in Greece 50% wine, 30% beer. 20% spirit but again bare in mind that you 
know better than anybody else your guets 
The above wedding alcohol estaimator arejust estimates and again I insist to take into consideration your guests , are they 
heavy drinkers?
Have fun in your destination wedding at the Greek islands and let us design your wedding

Boho wedding in Santorini


Feb 27, 2018



No matter how many times I am  visiting  Santorini for myweddings, it is all new to me and I always discover something  new that I love. The cliffside, the whitewashed houses, the blue domes, the black sand beaches and of course the wonderful sunset create such a romantic place for a destination wedding. 


While they were to make the decision for their wedding both instantly were keen on Santorini island 



The place that  stole their heart  was  Venetsanos winery  at the rim of the caldera for the ceremony  with  a simple  but elegant set up  They enjoyed  every single moment of the ceremony as well as the drinks after the ceremony. For their reception a sea side beach bar was chosen and the party went up to 2.00 a.m. in the morning.
Reception : Venetsanos winery

Santorini bird cage wedding in Gem


Dec 15, 2017

Married in Santorini

This beautiful couple Stacey and Chris  they first met in Dubai on the Palm Jumeriah in Dubai in 2011
http://www.marryme.com.gr 

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.
http://www.marryme.com.gr


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.
http://www.marryme.com.gr
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.
http://www.marryme.com.gr 

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 cake also was a bird cage escorted with different flavor cup cakes

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."
