The Civil wedding ceremony took place in the idyllic Venetsanos winery in Santorini, with 50 guests, overlooking the caldera, seeing everyone there, saying I DO in front of our closest family and friends. We continued with the reception and the wedding party at the same place and we used a catering facility to cover our food needs. All the wine and drinks were from the winery and the quality was excellent. Also the day before we had a wine tasting in the same place with all our family and friends and we enjoyed the sunset

Our wedding theme was  off white, romantic including some Santorini elements
Olympia was our wedding planner from Marryme in Greece and we had long discussion about how we would like to be our wedding . Olympia  designed the  wedding according to my dreams. She helped us organize everything, she put time frames for certain things, that need it to be done and finalized. She suggested the wedding ceremony and  location, all vendors such as florist, photographer, dj, catering  and she ensured that the  wedding day everything went according to the plan, which was sent to us nearly a month ago to be finalized and approved .

I had  two bridesmaids and their dresses were Grecian style in bright light blue  . One of the bride maids wore strapless and the other one shoulder design of the same dress. I picked the colour to go with the blue of Santorini and it’s my favorite color. We also had two groomsmen Charles brother and the best man in dark blue suits.

My wedding dress: . I tried on over 100 dresses. I found it hard to choose, the one I chose was by Pronovias – Barcelona designer. My mum and 2 sisters came shopping with me. Everyone cried when I went for the final fitting. The style of my wedding dress was romantic and I was wearing a simple diamond set of earrings the day of the wedding

The best parts of the wedding were at the time I was walking with my dad towards to my husband now Charles, my father’s  speech and the fireworks

Certain things made our wedding unique, the location which was amazing, our wedding cake, the saxophonist and the fireworks Our wedding cake was Santorini inspired with a small church on top of this .

I wanted my wedding flowers to be simple,  elegant , yet romantic and neutral. For this reason my bouquet was of white roses , the same for the brides maids and lace ribbon. The rest of the flowers were off white and peach color.

Our first dance song was  All of me’ by John Legend
I would advise the future brides to hire a wedding planner as it takes a lot of pressure off you and helps you to have a free hassle wedding day

Lefkas island Vintage wedding

Going around Greece and looking for perfect places for a destination wedding, I came across Hotel Pavezzo Country Retreat located in the island of Lefkada

The Pavezzo Country Retreat comprises a group of old renovated houses built on a hill slope at the edge of the village Katouna on the beautiful Ionian island of Lefkada. Built in the late 19th century and home to ten families, the properties have been converted into exquisite houses, maisonettes and apartments with a shared pool, gardens and verandas as well as two independent villas with private pools. Each house has its own unique style, decorated with elegant antiques, furniture and artwork giving it a natural, rustic and romantic flavour - a perfect combination of old school glamour and simplicity with today's modern comforts.

Situated on the hillside, the Pavezzo Retreat is the perfect sanctuary to escape to and experience the tranquility and peace of the surrounding mountains, watch the fiery sunsets and breathe in the natural beauty of Lefkada. The individual properties sleep from two to six people and collectively can accommodate up to 34 guests so are ideal for couples, families and small groups of friends looking for an idyllic escape on their own as well as for larger groups looking to holiday together or celebrate a special destination wedding in the Greek islands.
