A Breathtaking Fairytale Wedding in Athens Riviera
PUBLISHED ON STYLE ME PRETTY
This is a guest post written by White Stories Events, who shares the story of Sandra and Bradie's luxurious wedding in Athens, Greece. As the mastermind behind the magical event, the wedding planner takes us on a journey through the couple's dreamy celebration filled with elegance, and love.
Sandra and Bradie's wedding was one made of fairytales and dreams, where luxury and elegance were the two constants. Their main desire was to create a grandiose yet graceful evening, so they recognized immediately this beautiful mansion at the top of an Athenian hill with a one-of-a-kind breathtaking view of the Athenian Riviera as the perfect location for them. Their love for this venue instantly grew so deep that they decided to transform it into the symbol of the entire wedding in the form of a sketch by the hands of a talented graphic designer that took care of all the beautiful stationary, including the couple's unique logo and the designs that were printed on the beautiful wedding favors.
After selecting white and light blue as the color scheme for the wedding, accompanied by gold foil and wax details, every other decorative detail followed. Floral arrangements in the same colors, with a lot of greenery to compliment them, were put all over the venue but really shined through the most grandiose ceremony arch we ever had the pleasure of designing. Smaller, ground arrangements, as if they had grown from the soil, were put on both sides of the aisle to elevate even more the ceremony area. For this purpose, the front of the mansion was used, which left the gorgeous backyard with the stunning view free to host every other portion of the evening: the welcome cocktails, the reception and of course, the party.
In order to dress up the space and make it all the more awe-inspiring, magnificent, super imposing chandeliers were hanging all across the dinner and dancefloor area, accompanied by a few more floral arrangements to match the ones the guests had already seen minutes before at the other side of the building. And at the center of it all, an impressive synthesis of dessert tables, to act as an anchor throughout the whole night, with sweets that were all designed based on the day's theme and the couple's logo and selected colors!
Live music and entertainment held a very important place throughout the entire night. Starting off at the romantic notes of a harp and cello duo at the ceremony, followed by yet another duo, violin and saxophone this time, to set up a relaxing mood for the welcome cocktails portion.
In the same theme followed the table setting, with the elegant art de la table, the high floral arrangements and many many candles to set up the romantic atmosphere, as the sun began to set.
Lastly, the greatest and most fun part of the night started off with the very talented Greek traditional dancers that made each and every guest fall in love with the Greek culture and showed them how the Greeks like to have fun. The party that followed couldn't help being one for the books, one that we certainly did not want to end!
““There’s nothing quite like a Greek wedding - the traditions, the music, the food, and the love all come together in a way that’s truly unique and unforgettable.””
