Raquel and Darin’s destination wedding in the enchanting village of Imerovigli, Santorini, is the kind of celebration dreams are made of. With a backdrop of breathtaking views and a palette of timeless elegance, the couple embraced a minimal yet sophisticated style featuring white roses, chrysanthemums, and dahlias that effortlessly blended with the natural beauty of the island. Every detail was a reflection of their refined taste and deep connection.

My favorite moment from our wedding was loved taking pictures in different locations with just me and my husband before the wedding ceremony. It was so much fun and was a great chance to have some personal time with him before the wedding began.

«I had two wedding dresses. My fist one was an a-line dress with a lace top with lace straps. It was easier to move around in so I wore this one to take pictures in and for the reception. My second dress what worn during my ceremony. It was more classic and dramatic. It was a mermaid fit, had off the shoulder sleeves and a dramatic train that I absolutely fell in love with. I think the dramatic train helped me to stand out against the beautiful background of our ceremony and dinner.»
«We chose to be minimalistic in our ceremony decor so that our choice of venue and the background view of the Santorini Caldera could really shine. We chose white roses for the isle and a gazebo with white fabric and more white roses at the front. My bouquet matched all of the decor, simple white roses. For our dinner table we had a mix of white roses, candles, and antherium flowers. The antherium are very pretty and give it a very modern and sleek touch. My favorite decor choice was the two chandeliers that adorned both ends of our dinner table. I absolutely loved the way they looked against the sunset, and it was a beautiful way to add lighting to our outdoor dinner and reception area.»
«The advice I would give to a bride who is now planning her wedding is do not lose sight of what the day is really about. It’s easy to get caught up in trends, expectations and the pressure for everything to be ‘perfect,’ but the most memorable moments are the ones that feel true to you and your partner. Choose vendors you connect with, plan details that reflect your personality and let go of what doesn’t matter. Things might not go exactly as planned, but if you’re present and in the moment, it’ll be perfect in its own way.»
