My model-like Austrian couple, Verena and Thomas knew exactly what they wanted their wedding to be like – an elegant romantic affair with a gastronomic menu, good wine and a good party vibe.
The venue we chose for them was a Private villa on the Athens Riviera which was a perfect canvas showing off one of the most sought after views on the coastal part of Athens.
On arrival guests were treated to a non-alcoholic mastic drink and freshly squeezed lemonade and then were led to the ceremony area where the touching couple’s vows were held in front of a rounded arch intricately decorated with lush greenery, peach and pink blooms.
Words can’t describe how incredible Verena looked in her lace haute couture gown which left everyone speechless including her fiancé who was waiting in anticipation for her in front of the arch with his jovial groomsmen!
The couple requested a German celebrant which wasn’t an easy task in Greece but thank goodness to our team’s determination we found an excellent choice that impressed both the couple and guests.
The couple was then taken to secrets spots at Island Athens Riviera by suave photographer Elias Kordelakos who made them feel like models in the making.
Guests were taken to the cocktail area where Greek influenced canapes and cocktails were served to guests while enjoying the saxophonist’s eclectic tunes.
The dinner area was placed under the venues pergola where lush florals and greenery were suspended, while floral arrangements were placed along the length of the table which complimented the hanging floral arrangements, creating a visually mesmerizing look.
Each guest was treated to Greek organic olive oil, personalized with the couple’s initials and an olive leaf twig much to their delight.
The couple’s friends surprised the couple with hilarious games organized by their elegantly grey clad bridesmaids and groomsmen.
After the superb dinner, they partied to mainstream dance sounds and DJ Nikos from Loud and Clear ensured that the dance floor was never empty till the early hours of the morning.
