Ina and Ilias’s story is full of sweet surprises and heartfelt moments, beginning with a wedding proposal that Ina will never forget. As she lovingly shares, «Ilias had asked me to go to our favorite restaurant for dinner and I had a feeling he might propose. When we got there, aside from ordering nearly everything on the menu, he didn’t do anything else and I went back home with him feeling a bit disappointed. But the moment we walked in and the lights turned on, all of our closest friends popped out from every room! When I turned to look at him, he was already down on one knee, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. What followed was such an incredible party, one I’ll remember for the rest of my life!» Their wedding day was a joyful summer celebration beautifully planned by ManiDeco Wedding Planning & Styling, who brought to life a charming boho chic setting. Ina’s bouquet stood out with proteas, roses, and soft wildflowers, while the same blooms added an elegant touch to the ceremony space. Their most magical moments were captured by Pic A Bliss, and as Ina shared, «Our wedding day is truly a memory I hold with immense love and emotion.» Through the gorgeous photos, you can feel the warmth and vibrance of this unforgettable day too!

«I had been using the greek wedding site Love4Weddings and it really helped me get ideas. That’s actually how I discovered our wedding photographer Pic A Bliss.»
«My wedding dress was designed by Anna Tavoularidi and it was a mix of bohemian and traditional style. It was unique and exactly what I had imagined.»
«I honestly can’t pick just one favorite moment. It’s a day I would happily relive every year on our anniversary, and it moves me deeply. But if I had to choose one emotional moment, it would be the second I stepped out of the car and saw the look on Ilias’s face. Then came our first dance and the way he really surprised me with his dancing, I had never seen him express himself like that before. I also loved dancing with my dad, the way people were looking at us, and the love I felt all around. That day, I was truly overwhelmed with gratitude for everything we were living.»
«The wedding decor was boho with traditional elements, since our wedding took place in Mani. My bridal bouquet had wildflowers, roses, and a stunning big protea. Both the reception and the church were decorated with natural elements that stood out, and what I loved most were the warm tones I had chosen. They made the whole setting feel even more cozy and the landscape even more magical.»
The advice I’d give to any bride currently planning her wedding is to follow her own wishes and those of her partner, and not to be swayed by others. In the end, what will truly make the wedding special is living it fully, no matter what goes wrong. The energy of the bride and groom is what surpasses everything and makes that night unforgettable for both the couple and the guests.
