Fantasy wedding In Evia

Hi all,


I am continuing the fantasy theme, of venues that I feel would make incredible wedding venues!

Today I am going for a more conventional suggestion, a hotel in the region of Evia.

Ever since I saw this image of the hotel, I have imagined what an incredible wedding could be set up on the platform surrounded by water! I could see the civil wedding taking place here or a party (imagine the dancefloor being right on the end of the platform) and the reception meal!

Isn't this image inspiring? I could really imagine setting up a fabulous, minimal, modern, Greek island wedding reception here!

I am thinking ice cold cocktails, ouzo shots, Greek finger food and inspiring music!!!

 

Still inspiring.....

 

And the suites in the hotel are certainly luxurious, spacious and in keeping with the minimal theme of the hotel!

 

Can't wait to plan a wedding at this hotel!!! Drop me a line if you're interested!

Elafonissi fantasy wedding, Crete

Good afternoon all,

As mentioned I am having a little fantasy week, where I am posting on all the far fetched or l esser known areas in Greece that I would love to organise a wedding at!

Today we're headed over to the gorgeous island of Crete and one of the most gorgeous beaches in the country called Elafonissi, the translation is deer island, although it is actually a tiny sand island in the middle of the sea!

My idea would be to hold the wedding ceremony on this tiny island, followed by the reception on the beach, with bonfires, tikki lamps, great seafood, cocktails and elegant tables and chairs to contrast the informal surroundings!

I could even see a picnic set up for those wanting a really informal affair, blankets instead of tables and a picnic basket packed to the brim with yummy food! Sounds really amazing!

The secret is to choose high summer to ensure good weather, if possible an evening with a full moon and plenty of candlelight to create a really romantic atmosphere!

A night time dip is essential when choosing this option!

 

 

Only 5 klm away from Elafonissi beach, lies the incredible monastery of Panagia Chrysoskalitissa, so for those looking for a Greek Orthodox wedding, this would be an ideal combination.

Wintery Greece

Hi all,  I hope you are all keeping warm in this really wintery weather!


I have decided to embark on a week long dose of inspiring and unusual spots in Greece for a wedding! I am hoping to introduce some of my readers to alternative ideas and for others simply get their imagination going!

So, we are heading over to a gorgeous part of central Greece, called Pelion. This is an area where you can truly have it all, beach, sun, sand, mountains, green and even snow and skiing, all within easy reach and minimal driving!

For those looking for rustic setting for their wedding, think stone, great views, mountaineous landscapes, this is the area to head towards.

The difference from a Greek island is the serenity, life is more laid back, no tour operators, no package holiday makers, just true Greece!

Such incredible scenery, I think this area does cater for any taste!

The hotels in the area are smaller than in the cities and on the islands, making the feel much more cosy and personal.

This is the gorgeous old olive press guesthouse, I could see a gorgeous garden wedding taking place at this venue! www.palioeleotrivio.gr

Trash the Dress shoot in Greece

Happy New Year to all!!!!! I have been terrible with keeping up with the blog, however Christmas due to being ill and decided to concentrate on New Year and a week of relaxation after that in order to completely recover and get back to the blogging and wedding planning in the New Year really fresh!

So over to our first feature for 2010, a fun, fabulous and gorgeous trash the dress session, that took place in Chania Crete last summer! The bride was intent on completely trashing her dress and not even taking it back to the UK with her, although it survived against all odds and is in the back of her wardrobe!!!

This was actually a really fun shoot to participate in and a lovely way to spend the afternoon after the wedding. The atmosphere was so relaxed, we just had fun and went with the moment!!!!

This shoot was photographed by Annie Angelopoulou, her website is: www.aa-informatics.com
