We are bringing you a destination wedding in Chania that feels like a true celebration of spring, with details that perfectly captured the couple’s joyful spirit. Alexandra and Christian chose the breathtaking Sea View by En Kipo as their venue, where the stunning setting overlooking the water provided the ideal backdrop for their day. Guests were welcomed with vibrant floral design by En Kipo, filled with seasonal colors that brightened every corner of the celebration. Adding a fun twist to tradition, instead of flower girls, the couple had “margarita men” walking down the aisle, handing out refreshing margaritas to guests on what turned out to be a very warm day, a detail that brought lots of smiles and set the tone for the festivities. The bride looked radiant with makeup by Michalis Tsotras, while every element of the day came together seamlessly thanks to the thoughtful planning of NMevents. «NMevents helped us with every aspect of the wedding (as well as the pre wedding day dinner and the post wedding beach club day) and thank goodness as I am not a very creative person! They were amazing and really helped me figure out what I wanted and took the stress out of not being in Greece whilst planning a wedding taking place in Greece», the bride shared with us. Are you ready to see all the lovely details? We sure are!

«We met nearly 16 years ago at a house party. It wasn’t until 2 years later of Christian being persistent that I agreed to go out with him and now here we are! Christian proposed me in Rovaniemi in Finland. He surprised me with a holiday the morning we were flying and had booked a week off work for me by getting in touch with my boss without me knowing. We did a husky ride and then saw the northern lights. The evening we went to the top of a mountain where an outdoor fire and a small shelter where a chef was making us some food. Within 5 minutes if getting there he proposed as he said he was so nervous and wanted to enjoy the rest of the evening. It was an amazing trip!»

«The flowers were based on a pastel pallette as that’s our favourite. My favourite flower is the double pink peony, so built it around this romantic vibe. The wedding decoration I feel was very romantic and minimal. With what I think are classic and timeless flowers and table setting, as well as Christian’s ‘must have’ which was lots of fairy lights.»
«I love that Christian cried as I walked down the aisle. I didn’t think he would, so this was a surprise! I also loved that instead of flower girls we had “margarita men” who walked down the aisle giving out margaritas to guests – this was very fun and it was a very hot day, so it was appreciated! We loved all the food and cocktails by Fivestar catering. Christian and I are huge foodies, so we needed to make sure there was amazing food and drink. We love an aperol spritz, so had to incorporate those and Christian grew up in Athens for a few years and his favourite dish was Pastichio, so we had to incorporate that into our menu and it was amazing. We also had a 360° camera and a photo booth whoch were both hits! Everyone enjoyed them and having those extra memories has been great!»
«My wedding dress was from a German designer. My dress was an A line dress and bigger than I initially thought I would go for but when i tried it on, I knew it was the one. It was so romantic, flowy and had flower appliqués all over it which I fell in love with. It had a semi sheer corset-like bodice with a sweetheart neckline and off the shoulder small sleeves… I also had a long veil which matched and also had the flower appliqués around the edge. I lived having the veil, I wasn’t too sure to begin with but I’m so happy I chose to have it as I think it looks so good in photos and I felt more like a bride.»
My favorite moment from my wedding is right at the end of the night the DJ played a final song which Christian had requested and everyone was on the dance floor shouting this song in one big group together. When the song stopped everyone carried on singing for another 5 minutes and it was so fun and just a moment of everyone being together before the night finished.

«The advice I would give to a bride who is now planning her wedding is that I would say enjoy the planning. Don’t stress too much about all the tiny details if they don’t mean a lot to you or if you feel that you “have to” to do something. It’s your day, so do what you want and what will make it the best day for you. Also planning in advance is great but don’t be too stressed if things come together last minute, everything will come together!»
