Sophia and Vasilis’ love story unfolds in the most romantic way in Athens, on a spring day filled with joy and emotion. Sophia, a Greek living abroad, shares, «As soon as I started searching for wedding inspiration, the greek wedding site Love4Weddings was the very first thing that came up in my searches. It was so helpful to see styles, aesthetics and venues that matched my own vision, as well as to discover the latest trends in Greece. Living abroad, it was invaluable to get a real sense of what the Greek wedding market could offer at that moment.» The result is truly remarkable! The couple chose to celebrate their love in the stunning outdoor setting of Amaltheia The Place, where every detail highlighted the beauty of their special day. Lush florals that adorned the venue and subtle decorative touches created an ultra chic atmosphere. The entertainment by the VibesPro team took the wedding party to the next level, offering endless moments of joy for both the couple and their guests. We are moved by the happiness that radiates from this day and invite you to enjoy the photographs that capture all the magic of their celebration!

«Vasilis is from Athens and I am from Thessaloniki. We met during our master’s studies in The Hague, Netherlands, and we have been together for almost eight years now, living permanently in Germany. The proposal happened in New York, right under the Brooklyn Bridge with the Manhattan skyline in the background. After he proposed, Vasilis told me that he had originally planned to do it the following day in another spot in the city, but when he saw how excited I was with the view and how happy I had been that day, he simply thought this is the right moment.»

«I think my favorite part of the wedding was our vows. It was right after the ceremony and just before entering the reception area, when we had a moment to ourselves on the balcony at sunset. We know it is not very common in Greek weddings, and in foreign weddings couples usually say their vows in front of all the guests, but we wanted something more personal, just between us. It was so touching to hear a love confession and dreams for the future from the person you love, especially after so many years together. I would truly recommend it to more couples!»
«As for the wedding decoration, I always knew I wanted big white roses and not too much greenery. My bridal bouquet was made only of white Ecuador roses, the church decoration included just two tall flower stands with white roses and baby’s breath, and at the tables we placed small vases with white roses and candles. In one of the venue’s pathways we added large candelabras with candles that created such a beautiful atmosphere in the evening. Overall, we didn’t want to overload the space because it already had this lovely minimal island-inspired aesthetic. It really didn’t need much more, and both of us love minimal design.»
«My advice to any bride planning her wedding is to involve the groom in the preparations as much as possible. It is his day too, and I think they actually want to take part even just a little. We divided quite a few things between us: I handled most of the aesthetic choices while he took care of the more practical aspects. It really helps so that the stress and pressure are not one-sided.»
«For my wedding dress, following again that minimal aesthetic, I knew I didn’t want lace, tulle, glitter or anything like that. Of course I tried them on for fun during the search and it was really fun, but deep down I knew I wanted something clean. The one I chose was from Brautblüte, a very well-known bridal experience store in Germany, close to our home in Cologne. It was the Milla Nova, Lancaster. My only criteria were to feel comfortable and to love what I saw in the mirror. I would recommend not overthinking this choice too much because it can become overwhelming as a decision.»
