The town of Pylos in Greece, is a naturally gorgeous location for a destination wedding and Mia and Nickos day was indeed just like a fairytale. The couple celebrated their love with an intimate ceremony in a gorgeous olive grove overlooking the sea. Between the stylish couple, the beautiful decoration with dusty blue florals, the enchanting melody by One Cello N a Half and the tasteful dining experience by 2CHEFS Gastronomy Catering, this wedding in Greece is one worth remembering!

«We met at a BBQ restaurant in Memphis TN, we were both living in the state for work and had a mutual friend visiting who invited us out for dinner. After 3 years of dating, we moved to NYC with our pets. On a February morning, Nickos took Mia for a stroll at Central Park and proposed at the iconic Gapstow Bridge. », the bride shared with us.

«For our wedding we wanted to incorporate soft blues – this can be seen in our draped arch and the bridal bouquet. We love hydrangeas, delphiniums, and roses! We were hoping for an elegant, romantic, and intimate setting for our ceremony and reception as our group was very small. Elena, our wedding coordinator from Golden Leaf Events and florist, was able to capture that perfectly!»

We loved having the candlelit dinner with our close family underneath the olive trees, while the sound of ocean waves and peaceful violin/cello melody from One Cello N a Half played in the background. We enjoyed a delectable 6 course dinner from 2CHEFS Gastronomy Catering that consisted of elevated local cuisine and seaside ingredients. It was a dream come true!

«Our favorite moment at our wedding was the first look. We chose to have separate vows that were reserved specifically for our first look, we were unplugged and were able to share a special and private moment together. For us, it was all about coming together as husband and wife and committing to each other for the rest of our lives – the first look was our first step towards a new life together. It was a moment of magic and calmness in the midst of all the wedding festivities and it helped ground us. »

At the end of the day, everything will be perfect because you are marrying the love of your life. You will look back and laugh at all the things that popped up unexpectedly. Take the time to really soak in each moment of the day as it will go by in the blink of an eye!

«We met during a summer holiday abroad, even though we lived in the same village and went to the same school, 11 years ago. We fell in love with each other and after that summer we were inseparable. Andrei asked me to marry him three years ago, on a beautiful beach in Zakynthos. », the bride shared with us.

«From the moment we decided to have our wedding by the seaside, I knew that I wanted blue hydrangeas combined with white flowers and a lot of greenery.»

Luckly, the decorations exceeded all my expectations, and I was delighted to hold the most beautiful flower bouquet that I have ever seen.

victoria, bride

«Regarding the style, I wanted something elegant and simple at the same time. We had a lot of decoration details – the arch was definitely my favorite. I also enjoyed the welcome board and the panel filled with handkerchiefs for our guests’ tears of happiness. Oh, and the chandeliers – one love – with this detail my dream about perfect wedding came true.»

My favorite moment was the moment Andrei saw me in wedding dress, walking down the aisle. He couldn’t stop crying, it was very emotional.

victoria, bride

The bride’s advice: «To worry less and enjoy more the planning process. »

«My wedding dress was a custom-made dress by a Moldovan designer – Alina Druta. It had a long slit, low back, 2 types of lace, train, and an additional skirt of veil. I think that it perfectly embodied the elegance, individuality and fineness. »

«We met on an online dating app way back in 2015. The proposal happened on a cold, sunny Christmas Eve dog walk on our favorite beach in Essex. », the bride shared with us.

We absolutely loved the chic yet relaxed feel to our wedding. We had gorgeous neutral base colors with a pop of burnt orange and warmth through the decor. My favorite details were the personalized signs we had made, the ceremony decoration our wedding planner Claire from Lefkas Weddings suggested and the lovely table decorations

lauren, bride

«My favorite moment was the sunset cocktail hour and the party! The band and sax player were INCREDIBLE. People still talk about our band now. »

The bride’s advice: «Enjoy the process, get a videographer, and plan out your group photos. On the photos point, we didn’t want a lot of stages traditional group shots, but when we look back there were a few key people we would’ve loved to have pics of. »

I visited the Chic & Stylish Weddings site in the planning stage, looking for inspiration ahead of picking colors, table designs and general look and feel of our day.

lauren, bride

«My wedding dress was a sleek, crepe off white strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline and a Lacey train. Loved it! »

«We had a band, DJ and saxophonist and we had the most amazing party! If you can do it, it’s worth it! Our wedding planner Claire from Lefkas Weddings was also incredible, and her guidance was invaluable, I’d highly recommend. »

From Lefkas Weddings: «Ben and Lauren from the UK married in Lefkada at the end of September 2022 with 90 guests. They got engaged at Christmas 2020 and wanted to get married in Greece. We showed them several villas on the island, and they fell in love with a villa private estate with its own olive grove and tiny chapel. Situated on the north-west coast of Lefkada with panoramic views and surrounded by olive and fruit trees gave the rustic feel that they were searching for. The theme was timeless green and white florals with a pop of orange reflecting the autumn pomegranate trees on the estate. The bride’s bouquet was a mix of white Ecuador roses, mini orange roses, astilbe, eucalyptus and ruscus. The bridesmaids wore sage green dresses, and each wore a wrist corsage of white roses and hypericum berries. The ceremony was in front of the little chapel with white fabric draped in the old olive tree and a flower column. Stationery was designed for the wedding with a map of the estate, and they named each part of the day in memory of their various grandparents. They wanted a personal ceremony which was written by celebrant Michaella Chatziagelou and included a blessing from each mother. For makeup, she chose soft smokey eyes and bright red lips to accent her beautiful features. Music was an important investment and feature of the day. They chose Sax Tom to accompany them down the aisle and play smooth vibes for the drink’s reception. The evening party was on fire with the rock tunes of the Athens-based band, Yakuza Six. Pre-wedding cocktail evening was held at Maraboo on the east coast of the island, and the couple arrived separately, taking a luxury speedboat cruise down the coast from Lefkada. »

«We met at an office Christmas party. I had just signed my job offer and was invited by someone who had helped me get the job. I had walked in and sitting at the front desk with two other people picking out the playlist was Spencer. I had introduced myself and he pointed me to the people that had invited me, and from there we really went our separate ways that night. From there we acknowledged each other when we saw each other around, but never really hung out or went past small talk, until Spencer lost his job and was looking for opportunities and knew my office was working on a project he was interested in. In between finding his next opportunity, he volunteered in my office.»

«That’s where we talked more and started hanging out outside of the office. The first time hung out outside of work, we went on a hike and went for poutine (a Canadian specialty of cheese curds on top of fries, smothered in gravy) afterwards. I remember feeling so comfortable with him already. We sang in the car on the way back and really just had so much fun. What we consider our first date, Spencer took me to this amazing tapas bar. It had less than 10 tables, but it had the most amazing food and staff. The restaurant became our spot for special occasions and celebrations until it sadly closed during covid. », the bride shared with us.

«Spencer proposed! I kind of ruined it! I did know it was coming as we had looked at the rings but didn’t know when. Knowing it was coming I had asked for two things for his proposal: that it be away from any crowd. I didn’t want to make a scene, and to have a photo. I always get a flood of memories when looking at photos, so they are really important to me. We had recently gotten into hiking in upstate New York, so Spencer recommended we go there and get some fall photos (we usually go and take photos somewhere in the fall as I love to fall with changing leaves). I had it in the back of my mind that it might happen, but it had been a few months since we looked at rings, so I didn’t put too much thought into it.»

«Anyway, he had asked that I pack some nicer clothes to take a photo of at the top. The morning of I was putting on my makeup and realizing it would melt off by the time we got up to the top, so I asked if we could spend the day in the town the hiking spot was close to and take photos there… Spencer knowing what he was going to do was like that makes sense but was frantically trying to find another spot that wouldn’t have a crowd. We drive and cross the border into the US (he’s driving so he can’t google for a new spot) and get into the town… and it’s PACKED. Everyone was there for the fall leaves. Poor Spencer couldn’t find a nice, secluded spot anywhere. We had seen the most beautiful lookout on our drive up, so after taking photos in the town, we stopped to go look. We had a tripod with us to take the photos. He had been so stressed all day, so I started to clue in lol. Anyway we were at the lookout and there was another couple there that we chatted with for a few minutes (I now know Spencer was in his head begging them to leave). After they left, we went into the lookout spot, set up our tripod to take the photo, and then posed together. Well, that’s when he got down on one knee! It was perfect! I was just processing everything, and I had forgotten to say yes lol… just shook my head, so he was like confirming it’s a yes, right? So funny! We were walking back to the tripod, laughing and really happy. We went to take a look at the photos and none of them had been taken… we laughed and were like well let’s recreate it… we tried again and that’s when we realized we were too far away so the remote wasn’t being recognized. So we moved closer and I took the remote and we recreated it again. In the photo we have you can see me holding the remote… it’s very funny, but every time I look at it, it brings me so much happiness and laughter thinking about it all. »

When Spencer and I sat down to discuss florals and decor we decided we wanted local and minimal florals and greenery so the landscape could take center stage. Also due to wanting to keep the landscape center stage we wanted our florals to be largely greenery with sprinkles of white.

leslie, bride

« We were originally supposed to get married in a gazebo on the Blue Cave Villas property and planned for florals to wrap around it, but when we checked in, Giorgos, the owner of Blue Cave Villas, offered us the incredible balcony spot we got married at. So, with less than a weeks’ notice the incredible people at Fiorentinos allowed us to change our florals to be the baskets, which were a great choice because if we had done a more traditional arch, it likely would’ve ended up in the ocean due to the extreme wind, we ended up having. We also had them line the aisle with greenery that we were able to reuse when decorating our table. Spencer and I have so many highlights from the ceremony. »

«Our incredible celebrant, Elizabeth Cass-Kanti, planned an amazing ceremony where we shared stories we had submitted to her about relationships, and thoughts on marriage. This is Spencer’s favorite part. Mine is really torn between the wedding crown part my sister Julia helped do. It was so windy and made it very challenging for her on top of Spencer being quite a bit taller, so we had to reach quite a bit and Spencer had to bend down a lot. The other part that’s a favorite is my sister Anndrea wrote the most beautiful poem and delivered it so well! It was a tear jerking, and heartwarming moment for sure! Because there were just 10 of us, our reception was largely focused on the food. We hired Chef Alexandros Patrinos and his team to cater the entire day (breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner), so we had a beautiful meal prepared by his team paired with delicious wines that were both local to Zakynthos and from across Greece. It was very simple but more focused on enjoying each other’s company and the moment, and we loved it. »

We visited Chic & Stylish Weddings when we were choosing where in Greece we wanted to get married, and what kind of look we wanted we looked at several blogs!

leslie, bride

«I mentioned the ceremony and reception aspects previously, but our favorite part was making our wedding a family vacation. It was great to spend so much quality time with our families and relax ahead of the big day. »

The bride’s advice: «1) Plan together. Spencer and I divided up the tasks and came together over a glass of wine and some cheese and reviewed the different options and made a decision. This helped us share the load of the planning, while making sure the day was one that made us both happy. 2) Don’t worry about the things you can’t change. We ended up having some insane wind, and we decided to just roll with it. I think this allowed us to look back on this day with so many happy memories, and my veil flying off when I walked down the aisle is a moment we look back and laugh on. If we would’ve gotten upset that it wasn’t the weather, we envisioned I think we wouldn’t have the same happy memories to look back on. Pick vendors that you connect with! Then trust them. They’ve done lots of weddings and know what works and what doesn’t! »

«My wedding dress is from Essence of Australia. My mom had flown from Winnipeg to Ottawa Canada, and Spencer’s mom drove from Oshawa to be with me to pick it out. It was actually the second dress I tried on! I loved it at the first store we visited, but wanted to keep my options open, so we went for lunch and then went to the next store where I tried on a number of other dresses, but when I tried the dress at the second store, I knew it was my dress. »

«We had a lot of symbolism in our ceremony: My brother passed away more than 7 years ago, and it was hard thinking of him not being there. So, I had part of his blue shirt sewed into my dress, so that he’d be there with me. We also left an open seat for him so that he could be there in spirit. Spencer also honored his late grandparents by wearing a pin from his grandfather and cuff links from his nanny. My jewelry was all pieces that Spencer had gifted me throughout our relationship. Our ceremony music was also intentionally chosen. My aisle song was a recording done by my talented cousin, Alex Barber. Our recessional, We Found Love by Rihanna, was a jesting nod to us first meeting when we worked in Canadian politics. We had a hard time picking Spencer’s aisle song, but in the lead up we were constantly watching Shotgun Wedding with Jennifer Coolidge and near the end she sings I’ll Be as the bride walks down the aisle just before they defeat the pirates that ruined their wedding. So, it was a nod to that movie and our belief that marriage should be based on trust, honesty, teamwork and a healthy dose of humor.» the bride shared with us.

This intimate wedding in Santorini captured beautifully by Eva Rendl Photography is a dream come true for romance lovers! From the stunning location, the very stylish bride to the sun-kissed portraits, this destination wedding in Santorini is just one of those that you must not miss!

Captured by Eva Rendl.

«We knew each other for a long time since Elvinas was a roommate with my best friend but since I was living abroad, we never had a chance to hang out together for a long time. When we finally did, we both felt that we would like to try and build a relationship. We started meeting from time to time, it wasn’t easy because of 2 different countries. 5 months later we decided that if we wanted this to work out one of us would have to move and Elvinas decided to take this step. Few days before moving (it was New Years eve) Elvinas proposed and New Year brought us to a new chapter. », the bride shared with us.

«We knew that we wanted a very simple, classic wedding atmosphere and decorations. Since we chose Santorini the dress code for our guests was blue and except for that we wanted everything to be white. I didn’t have any specific wishes for the flowers in my bouquet, but I found a few examples and shared it with our wedding planner Maria. She was the one who actually picked the bouquet. I couldn’t be happier; it was just perfect for me. We were not too focused on decorations – we knew a few main details that we needed which were decoration on gazebo, table decorations, fairy lights in reception. And those were the highlights. We didn’t have a chance to actually look at it during our wedding day but when we looked at the pictures later, we both agreed it was exactly what we wanted. »

«The whole day flew by so fast. Of course, I was very stressed in the beginning until the ceremony and now it feels like I can barely remember that part of the day. I actually started enjoying it when we arrived at reception. That was probably the moment – I finally got a chance to hug and thank everyone, it was the point where I realized that we are husband and wife, that running is over and now we only must relax and enjoy. »

The bride’s advice: «Do not stress about the small details that you are not going to notice and remember later. There were so many things I thought we could have done differently, but the only thing wedding guests saw and cared about that day was the wedding couple. Everything else was only a background. »

«Just like everyone – I tried many different dresses before I found the one. I had a completely different picture of how my dress should look but as soon as I tried the one, I knew – this is how I want to look. I didn’t choose a dress from a magazine or pictures; it was very important how I feel in a dress. I didn’t doubt it for a second – it was my dress. »

The wedding decor was beautiful and tasteful, with the help of our wedding planner Lifetime Affairs we had mainly white roses with some touches of pampas grass and dried flowers. The wedding bouquet was a long stem bouquet of white roses.

«The decoration for the reception has gorgeous fairy lights and a gazebo with white roses at the main table. The part of the reception that we enjoyed the most was when the tables had to be moved immediately after dinner because the guests were so ready to dance! »

My advice to brides-to-be is to enjoy every step, do not stress, and remember to give yourself the proper time to truly savor every moment of your big day!

«In my profession as a hair and makeup artist, the wedding industry is the avenue I enjoy the most. Amidst this all the wonderful venues I frequent, the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa has long held a special place in my heart, emerging as one of my most beloved wedding venues. My then boyfriend, knowing how much I love the Twelve Apostles, decided to book me to do bridal hair and makeup for a “high profile” client under a fake name. I got several of these bookings so didn’t think anything was odd and knew not to ask in depth questions. When I arrived at the venue, I was escorted through to the back garden area where I was told the client was waiting BUT to my surprise, Garryn, was waiting under the pergola with a bottle of bubbly and a huge smile. », the bride shared with us.

«My husband and I envisioned a dreamy destination wedding, and our hearts settled on the enchanting island of Santorini. After careful consideration, we discovered the breathtaking venue, El Viento, nestled along the cliffside, offering unparalleled views of the majestic caldera.»

Inspired by the timeless elegance of Greece, we opted for a minimalist aesthetic, embracing earthy tones that harmonized perfectly with the surroundings, leaving the breathtaking Santorini sunset to set the mood. To infuse an enchanting charm into the evening ambiance, we adorned the venue with delicate fairy lights, casting a spell of romance upon our celebration.

danielle, bride

«With meticulous attention to detail, I crafted a mood board for our talented wedding planner, who exceeded our expectations with her impeccable execution. It was truly a masterpiece brought to life, reflecting our vision with finesse and grace. From the fresh white orchids, tall candles, table settings and my draping, elegant bouquet, everything was perfect! »

My favorite moment of our wedding day was saying ‘I do’ to my best friend surrounded by our nearest and dearest friends and family! We chose to have an intimate elopement wedding with some of our favorite humans in one of the most romantic and iconic place on earth!

danielle, bride

The bride’s advice: «The essence of a wedding is to celebrate what’s special to you and your partner, and to revel in the joy of planning your dream day! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience meant to be cherished and enjoyed to the fullest. Don’t be afraid of using a wedding planner, it will make your special day a lot easier to enjoy. And when it comes to your hair and makeup and photographer, bring in a professional that suits your personality and can give you what you want. Remember, the pictures will last you a lifetime. »

«One of the highlights of my wedding planning journey was visiting various bridal stores in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Among them, Veil Bridal stood out to me in every possible way. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The Veil Bridal team understood the importance of this moment in my life and made me feel incredibly special. I’ll never forget the moment I tried on my wedding dress at Veil Bridal. As soon as I looked in the mirror, I knew I was in the right place, and that dress was the one I had been envisioning for so long. It was a perfect match, a true reflection of my style and personality. »

What can we say about this gorgeous wedding of Skye and Chris in Kefalonia that we simply can’t take our eyes off? Mythos Weddings created such a lovely setting for their ceremony and reception with bright colors and breathtaking flowers from Bosonis Flowers. Their celebration location was overlooking the sea and as the bride shared with us «For both of us, the speeches were a highlight – sitting there on that veranda overlooking the Ionian Sea with the sun setting, surrounded by most of our favorite people, the candles flickering, and the warm sea breeze on our skin listening to our loved ones recounter old and new memories of our lives before and after – we were on the highest of highs.». We love every romantic look between the couple, and we are so happy that we can share every detail through these beautiful images from Vicky Bekiaridou Photography!

Captured by Vicky Bekiaridou Photography.

«We met at work and often were both the first people to arrive. Chris started dropping by my desk every morning to say hello and the next thing I knew he had asked me out for drinks and the rest is history. We went to stay at Burley Manor, a hotel I adore, in the New Forest for a long weekend and Chris popped the question during a sunset walk. », the bride shared with us.

Our wedding took place on the breathtaking island of Kefalonia in Greece and the location largely dictated the style and aesthetic. We wanted an elegant yet playful, simplistic, and timeless decoration that complimented the view.

skye, bride

«As you can see, you don’t need much in the form of decor to make an island wedding stunning. We opted for wild florals in hues of oranges and pinks that mimicked the colors of a Kefalonian sunset as our wedding took place in the late afternoon-evening. Instead of a traditional arch for our ceremony, we wanted something that was unique and effortless, so we had the florist embellish the track of a tree with our florals – we love the outcome! For table settings, we selected natural wooden chairs, sage green linen napkins, accents of gold from the cutlery to compliment the surrounding nature, and to compliment the florals. My favorite touch to the reception decor was the Dahlia charger plates – I think they were the perfect choice to add some texture & also compliment the florals. »

I love the Chic and Stylish Weddings Instagram and used the featured real weddings as inspiration while planning! It was helpful to see lots of styles of Greek weddings during the process.

skye, bride

«Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to have the perfect wedding day. I think there is an unrealistic expectation that one day can be so flawless, that nothing will go wrong. Too much emphasis is placed on having the perfect wedding. From the exterior, weddings often look perfect, but things can and do go wrong & sometimes this is out of your control. In reality, our wedding day was far from ‘perfect’, but there were perfect moments in between it all that we choose to focus on instead. My advice would be to focus on what’s truly important – your marriage, your commitment, and your relationship. »

«With our wedding being a summer wedding in Kefalonia I knew I needed something light and breathable so I could enjoy our day despite the heat. A Madi Lane dress was a no brainer for me and after seeing a picture of the Daisy dress, my mind was made up. Once I tried the dress on, I fell more in love with Daisy. My dress had a simple silhouette with a low back, nude underlay and covered in dainty floral lace with a long train. For the party, I changed into a short bejeweled and sparkly dress from Self-Portrait. »

Stephanies and Fraser’s wedding is everything we dream of when we think of a summer wedding in Crete! The lovely couple chose white flowers for their big day and Enkipo Wedding brought their vision into life with a gorgeous floral arch at the ceremony while their wedding reception at Agreco Farm had minimal chic details with a rustic flair. Their wedding was truly memorable to all and as Stephanie mentioned: «It was a week together full of laughs, love, and thousands of memories. My favorite weddings moments were walking down the aisle and seeing my new husband, the amazing food and dancing the night away on the dance floor!»

Captured by Nataliia Photography.

«We met in 2019 whilst backpacking through Southeast Asia at a hostel in Cambodia. We were both on solo trips and met at the latter end of our travels. We spent four days together and fell in love. We had a long-distance relationship for six months (England & Australia), before Fraser moved to Australia where we have lived since. We have now been together for nearly 5 years and still travel as much as possible! Fraser proposed to me at home. We were sitting on the couch one evening and he passed me a box. I opened it, saw the ring, and kept saying over and over “Is this real!?”. I was in complete shock. We then spent the weekend in the Yarra Valley wine region in Victoria, Australia celebrating, drinking amazing wine and having beautiful tasting menus. It was perfect. His original plan was to propose at a winery that weekend, however, the weather forecast was expecting lots of rain. He said he couldn’t wait so proposed the night before at home. », the bride shared with us.

«We had a destination wedding, which was so much fun! Our venue was absolutely beautiful, truly what dreams are made of! All the food and wine were farm to table and the service was immaculate. The venue is rustic and full of character with amazing views over the vineyards.»

Our floral decorations were romantic and classic. We had white florals only, white rose bouquets, bud vases with a variety of white florals, rose petals down the aisle and a floral feature above us at the ceremony.

stephanie, bride

«The table setting decorations included white florals, a white table runner down the center, candles, a white/gold macaroon, and personalized guest menus. We also wrote handwritten cards to each guest which they loved. Our cake was a two-tier butter cream cake decorated with roses. We included our dog, Harvey, by having a personalized cocktail bar sign made containing his illustration. During cocktail hour we had signature cocktails served. »

«Fraser’s family live in England and my family live in Australia. The week we got married was the first time our friends and family got to meet in person. It was so special to us to have everyone together. We had a destination wedding in Crete, Greece…»

The bride’s advice: «Research your vendors, having amazing vendors are key, they will make your day run so smoothly, organize a late night snack for your guests, we had chicken gyros, they were amazing, have a range of songs for all ages to ensure everyone will get up on the dance floor.»

Take a few moments to be alone with your partner on the night – soak it all in together and don’t feel inclined to invite everyone you know, keep it small and intimate.

stephanie, bride

«I wore Harry by Made with Love Bridal. My dress had a plunging, draped back, statement detachable train and figure-hugging silhouette. As the train was detachable, I was able to have two looks, a train for walking down the aisle and it removed during cocktail hour / dinner. My dress was made from French crepe. My second dress for the reception was a white strapless mini dress with a big bow and train. It was perfect to change into in the evening to wear on the dance floor. »
