Be still our Santorini-loving hearts: this summer wedding of Stephanie and Daniel has us completely blown away by the prettiness of it all! With the deep blue Aegean as the backdrop, the ceremony space was transformed by Paper Flowers Cyprus into a vision of white and cream beauty, with a lush floral arch overflowing with roses and baby’s breath, perfectly capturing Stephanie’s wish: «I wanted our wedding to look as dreamy as possible, I envisioned florals, fairy lights and dancing at sunset, I wanted the wow factor! We hired Paper Flowers for our decoration, I asked for a big full arch with white and cream tones, broken up with baby breath, I wanted the arch to not look too perfect, I asked for an almost ‘messy look’… Our welcome sign/seating plan was by Illuminography, I had designed it myself and the company created it to perfection, they also provided our ‘Mr & Mrs Martin’ large letters, this was perfect on the dance floor.» Rows of white chairs lined with petite floral clusters framed the aisle, leading to the breathtaking arch and the glittering sea beyond. Every detail felt fresh, airy and filled with joy, from the white and creme palette to the gorgeous decoration details, making this celebration a perfect mix of romance and coastal charm!

«Our eyes met whilst standing on a crowded train platform, I remember glancing over at him and thinking, Oh, wow, he’s cute. I cheekily messaged one of my best friends to tell her I had spotted the man I was going to marry, never in a million years did I think this would become true. As it turns out, we were both enroute to the airport to catch the same flight to the same part of Ibiza. We hit it off, he offered to share his Nando’s cake he had in his bag with me and I knew he was the one. We ended up spending most of the holiday together, the rest is history. 10 years later on New Years Eve we were on a beach in Mexico at Sunset, Daniel asked to take a photo of me, I turned around to him down on one knee asking me to marry him! After 10 years together this was a huge shock, yes was the answer, I was over the moon!»
«I was looking at the site of Chic and Stylish Weddings very early on the in stages of planning my wedding, I would also see posts on instagram, this was a great inspiration to see all the different kind of styles you can have for your wedding. It was great to see real weddings and I realised very on the kind of theme I would go from seeing the instagram posts. From Chic and Stylish I found Renia Make Up Artist and Bella Hairstylist.»
«When planning our wedding I knew I wanted to get married with the view of the ocean behind us, Santorini was the perfect destination for this, Le Ciel caught my eye on instagram, the reviews were faultless so we booked! I wanted our wedding to look as dreamy as possible, I envisioned florals, fairy lights and dancing at sunset, I wanted the wow factor! We hired Paper Flowers for our decoration, I asked for a big full arch with white and cream tones, broken up with baby breath, I wanted the arch to not look too perfect, I asked for an almost ‘messy look’. We had gold based centrepieces with messy florals on top to match the arch we had, we had the same style placed on the piano, this would be playing whilst guests arrived and for when we walked down the aisle. The chairs lining the aisle also had a small bunch of matching flowers on, again in the same tones and look. With our top table I was very specific, I wanted the florals to be full and spilling softly over the front and sides of the table to tie in with the the guests tables and arch. We added in vases on the top table and in front of our welcome sign, these lit up beautifully after the sunset.»
The most thing I enjoyed, was walking down the aisle and seeing how everything had come together, to marry in such a beautiful setting with the dreamiest decoration was a dream come true, I will never get over the day.

«Our welcome sign/seating plan was by Illuminography, I had designed it myself and the company created it to perfection, they also provided our ‘Mr & Mrs Martin’ large letters, this was perfect on the dance floor. We opted for fairy lights spiralling over the dinner room, then a raindrop style over the dance floor and fairy light curtains between each room, this was stunning and really set the ambience. For my bridal bouquet I had classic and elegant long stemmed roses (from Shades of flowers) these went perfectly with my theme, my bridal party also had the same but mine was slightly bigger. Our table set up was in gold and ivory, I did not want everything too white as wanted everything to look a bit warmer with darker neutral tones, I had bought ivory silk napkins to match perfectly with our hand made menus (eventfully more), that each had an Ivory ribbon on, this fitted perfectly with the florals and the gold charger plates and cutlery. When I got to the venue ready to walk the aisle. I peered through a window and was blown away with how the decoration looked, I wanted the wow factor and I really felt this was it, my guests said they walked up to the venue with the piano playing and they were all in tears at how beautiful everything looked.»
«My favorite moment from our wedding is that every part was amazing, but dancing in front of our gorgeous Arch with our friends and family at Sunset was out of this world.»
«The advice I would give to a bride who is now planning her wedding is to take her time, do lots of research and always sleep on a decision you are not sure about.»
«My wedding dress was picked by my best friend, she picked it in the shop and told me to try it on and I just knew it was the one as we all burst into tears. My Dress was by Morilee, Lizzle gown, it has a sultry fit and flare with a crystal beaded embroidered bodice with illusion sides and a sexy keyhole back in fitted crepe. I love how it accentuate my curves and the beautiful lace train just finished off the look. For my second dress I wore the ‘Charlotte’ satin bow mini dress by Six Stories, this dress had been sold old for months and I managed to grab it when it came back in stock just 3 days before we were due to fly to Santorini. This was the perfect dress to do our first dance in and then party the night away.»
