Today we are travelling to the beautiful island of Chios where took place a wonderful beach wedding! Those two lovebirds tied the knot under a beautiful arch decorated with fresh flowers and fabrics with a sea view and had a romantic celebration of love filled with dreamy floral arrangements. The color palette of pastel hues was perfectly combined with string lights making this scenery even more dreamy. We fell in love with the lovely decoration and the elegant wedding dress of the beautiful bride. See every special of today’s couple through the following photos and feel absolutely transported to this beautiful island!
The bride shared with us: “Matin and I met in Dallas. I was a pharmacist there, and he was doing a hospital residency. He is originally from Baku, Azerbaijan whereas I am from Gretna, Louisiana. Ironically, on our first date I found out that the first place that he lived in America was in Louisiana. So of course I asked if he liked jazz and crawfish, which my state is famous for, but he only liked one of the two. That was the wrong answer because I love both, but then he quickly charmed me with his cute smile and dance moves.”
“Paris was our first amazing international trip together, and it was also the city that I was saving to see with someone really special to me. I thought that he would propose in Paris for which he did not, but then he really surprised me with a proposal on another trip under a waterfall in Birmingham, Alabama. We hiked for 4 hours looking for this waterfall, and I was all hot and sweaty by the time we found it. I was so happy when we finally got there, so that I could cool off with a little dip in the water. Before I jumped in, Matin stopped me and pulled out the ring. I was screaming with joy while he put the ring on my finger, so I could not hear what he was saying. We sat on the rock for a bit and just held each other.”
“Matin and I love the ocean so we had a beach wedding ceremony at Da Luz beach bar.”
“I picked white roses with bright blue larkspurs and flower shaped succulents tousled around them.”
“The designer of the dress is Made with Love from Australia, and it’s called the Stevie Dress. I wanted a wedding dress that was lacey, had a V neck, and was subtly captivating which led me to saying yes to the dress. I loved that I could dance in it easily too.”
“Matin’s family lives in Azerbaijan, so we wanted to pick a place near them. I have been to Greece before, so I felt that our families would have a great time. I mean who could hate paradise in my opinion! We decided on the island of Chios in Greece because it is a very accessible island from Turkey where his family would be flying into, but I was a bit nervous because I have never been there before. Chios looked beautiful online, and it seemed different from the other islands that I have been to because of the medieval villages and unique art on the buildings. The beaches looked enticing too, so I decided to take a chance and luckily found a great wedding planner at Marryme in Greece. I’m so happy that we decided to have our wedding in Chios!”
“We used peachy pink and white roses for the bamboo arch at the beach ceremony and the same kind of flowers in clear vases for the reception. At the reception tables, we also had pictures of us in baroque style frames to give an intimate feel. Also, the hanging lights made the reception hall feel so dreamy, and it was perfect for our first dance because I felt like I was under the stars.”
“My color palette was mostly light blue and some peachy pink. I wanted to create a beach theme at the reception, so the tables had baby blue tablecloth. We also had a seashell wedding cake with different shades of blue and a delicious sandy finish.”
“My favorite moment was dancing with Matin at the beach bar right after we got married with the violinist and guitarist playing in the background and having our friends and family around us.”
Bride’s advice: “I would tell the bride to splurge when it comes to the videographer and photographer. After the wedding, I noticed that the guests raved about the food, cocktail party, and dancing. So make sure to have a great DJ and delicious food/adult beverages. Most importantly, the wedding day will go by very fast so make sure that you enjoy every moment!”
