Blending natural beauty with vibrant color accents and perfectly capturing a rustic chic aesthetic, Marilena and Stelios’ summer wedding was simply unforgettable!

«I followed the greek site Love4Weddings from the very beginning of planning, both for organizing all the different tasks and for finding inspiration through real weddings. It was really important to me to organize every stage properly from the start, so there would be enough time for research — and mostly, so I wouldn’t feel overwhelmed as the big day got closer. I gathered ideas, found inspiration and started building my own checklist with all the important milestones, making sure nothing essential would be forgotten. That’s how I found and contacted the florist, Narkissos. From the first meeting, I discussed all my thoughts and dreams with Kostas, and thanks to his experience and professionalism, the result exceeded everything I had envisioned.»
«My wedding dress was a creation of Vera Paul Bridal Atelier. A truly unique gown, perfectly matched to my taste and style. The girls at the atelier did an incredible job — the final result was even better than the first fittings, better than anything I could have ever imagined. I wasn’t one of those brides who had a clear idea of their dream dress beforehand, so the process was a bit more challenging for me. But I immediately felt at ease, and together we discovered the style and little details that made my dress truly one of a kind!»
At the beach ceremony site, we set up a wooden arch adorned with colorful flowers — definitely the highlight of the decor. The chairs were decorated with small bouquets, variations of the bridal bouquet, and along the aisle, we placed gorgeous floor arrangements. The main flower was the sunflower, a perfect fit for a summer wedding, combined with vibrant flowers that brought the entire setting to life.

«We also set up a charming wooden triangle display with a table for the rice cones, flip-flops for guests, and on each chair, we placed a wooden fan and small tissues labeled ‘for your happy tears.’ At the reception area, we kept the rustic wooden tables and added colorful centerpieces, bright glassware, and linen napkins. On each plate, we placed our favors — handmade with the help of our family and friends — something we felt truly represented us and would be useful to our guests. We chose salt and pepper favors because, after all, “we go together like salt & pepper”! We filled glass tubes with Himalayan pink salt and pepper, tied with little pouches of Hatziyiannakis sugared almonds in assorted flavors.»
«We got married at Reef Athens Riviera, in Agia Marina, Attica. We were looking for a venue that felt like an island escape, and after a quick search, we knew it was the perfect place. The ceremony took place right on the beach, and for the decoration style, we wanted something minimal and chic to complement the beauty of the space without overwhelming it. We organized the wedding ourselves, gathering ideas from online platforms and Pinterest.»
«Another favorite detail was a card placed on each plate with adorable sketches of our beloved pets, Lampis (our Labrador) and Stif (our bunny), thanking everyone for celebrating with their “humans.” It was one of our most loved personal touches of the evening.»
