Lemons and more

Decorating with lemons is such a lovely idea for a destination wedding in Greece!!!
Firstly they withstand heat, they can be placed early on in the day, they look perfect teamed with grey or navy and add a lovely fresh color to the table!!!

Am I right to love these cakes, they are so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diamonds are a girls best friend....

Diamonds really are beautiful aren't they? I mean who doesn't love wearing a diamond ring? I am not a huge advocate of engagement rings, but I do love any other shaped diamond ring, that can be worn on a different finger!!!

Beautiful Wedding in Crete (part 2, the reception)

 And so we move along to the fabulous wedding reception in the 16th century farmhouse in Chania, Crete, which took place last June, on a warm summer's day, with great food, drink and much, much fun!

 

 

 

I adore this rose walkway, it is soooo beautiful, I am mystified every time I see it!

 For the table setting, the bride collected antique candle holders with white tapered candles, small flower centrepieces with peonies, berries and herbs as well as sprigs of lavender tucked into the napkin!!

 

                                     How beautiful is Nancy in this picture? Simply radiant!!!

 

Love was most definitely in the air at this wedding!!!

Beautiful Wedding in Crete

Today we are off to one of my favourite islands in Greece, Crete, on which I organised one of my favourite weddings, for one of my favourite couples, with one of my favourite photographers behind the camera!

So am I pleased with the outcome? Well after a feature on Martha Stewart and literally squealing with excitement at the photographs I am tickled pink. I have to praise Chloe Brown, the woman behind the lens, she really does produce wonders, I am blown away by her talent, Chloe you are amazing!

 The bride and the wedding party got ready at the farmhouse where the reception was held!

 The church was in the centre of Chania Old Town, the Mitropoli or main church, it had a very ornate interior as is usual with Greek Orthodox churches.

The light during the ceremony was fantastic and I think it makes the bride look ethereal in her white gown and veil, simply stunning!

Come back to us tomorrow for the reception and all the details of this fabulous summer wedding in Crete!
