«We wanted our wedding to be intimate, reflecting who we are as individuals and as a couple, rooted in love, poetry, and timeless beauty. Our vision was to transport our guests into a magical space where they could feel the essence of another world, a world of romance, art, and togetherness. Inspired by the elegance of ancient Greece, we sought to create a setting that paid homage to romantic, poetic gardens, where love and nature intertwine.»
«My wedding dress was by Berta Privee, and I chose it because it felt timeless and elegant, perfectly suited for a summer wedding in Greece. The details shimmered in a subtle and captivating way, making it ideal for the Mediterranean setting. I loved how it complemented me not only did it feel beautiful, but it also had a perfect balance of sexiness and sophistication. The dress made me feel like the best version of myself.»
«For my hair, I opted for a sleek bun, which allowed the dress to shine. To tie in the wedding theme, I wore a headpiece designed to resemble olive branches, honoring the ancient Greek garden tribute central to our vision. It was a small but meaningful detail that added to the overall feeling of romance and connection to the setting. The goal was to feel like me, confident and comfortable in my own skin.»
«I have so many favorite moments from our wedding, but a few stand out in my heart. One of the most unforgettable was walking into the church and seeing my husband standing at the altar, waiting for me. There’s something about that moment, when everything falls into place, and you realize the journey you’ve both been on has led you to this exact point. But perhaps the most meaningful moment of all was the surprise speech I gave to my mother and father. Celebrating their 40 years of marriage by having them dance to their first wedding song. Without their love, their example of commitment, and their unwavering support, none of this would have been possible. That moment, where we honored their journey together, was one of the most emotional and cherished parts of the day. It was a tribute to the love that shaped us and the foundation we stand on.»
I owe endless gratitude to Xenia, Riviera Blu Events whose impeccable eye captured every tiny detail, creating a seamless tapestry of love and magic. With her artistry, our dream wedding came to life, a masterpiece.

«The long table was central to this vision, with cascading greenery and stunning chandeliers, inviting everyone to come together and share in a community of love and connection. We imagined a wedding that didn’t just celebrate us but invited our loved ones to enter a universe of enchantment, even if only for one night. The Greek columns paid homage to the Parthenon, the custom structure and the backdrop of the Athenian Riviera tied it all together. From the moment the guests walked in from our entrance, which featured my poetry on a delicate scroll, to the violin melodies that filled the space, everything helped weave an atmosphere of warmth and magic.»
«The colors on the tablescape were carefully chosen to feel both elegant and timeless, evoking the essence of classic beauty that would remain memorable long after the day had passed. Each detail, every table setting, was designed to carry the spirit of what poetry represents to us, a language of the heart, of longing, of joy, of shared experience and celebration.»
«The best piece of advice I would give to any upcoming bride is to remember to stay present and truly embrace the moment. It’s easy to get lost in the whirlwind of details, timelines, and expectations, but the one thing I promised myself on my wedding day was to be fully present. And because of that, I felt such a sense of calm. I was able to savor every moment. Everything falls into place. Your wedding celebrates you and your person your love and your commitment. All the other details, the decorations, the flowers, the food they’re beautiful and important, but they’re just extras. The essence of the day is about you two coming together. That’s what truly matters. Stay grounded in that truth, and the rest will unfold naturally.»
