The couple exchanged their vows at a breathtaking location with the most beautiful sea view. We absolutely loved the floral arch with light blue hydrangeas, white roses, and greenery created by Bosonis Flowers Events while Kefalonia Weddings planned every detail of the detail to perfection! Their wedding reception was unforgettable to all family and friends that traveled from all over the world to celebrate their special day and dance the night away as they entertained by Makis Klonis. So take a look at their wedding story captured in the most beautiful way by Vicky Bekiaridou Photography!

«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.

«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. »

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!

«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. »

«We met 10 years ago through a friend. It was an unexpected evening and we talked for hours. At first, we were surprised because we had the same origins – both half Greek and half Italian – and we were born one day apart in the same year. It was hard to believe. We felt a real connection. After 5 years of dating, he proposed during our vacation in Corfu. After a beautiful day at the beach and a dinner at the restaurant we returned to the hotel. I wasn’t expecting anything because the day was over…. but when I returned to the room, it was decorated with roses and candles everywhere… and that’s when Lefteris proposed. Unfortunately following certain events such as Covid, the wedding was postponed until 2023. But we held on because we knew that this was what we wanted».

«The theme of the wedding was the olive tree. So, there was a reminder of the olive tree in the flowers, in our wedding invitations and even our gifts for the guests. The most emotional moment was the religious ceremony. We enjoyed every moment of this union and felt such a strong bond. What we loved was the floral arch made by Benetatos, a result even better than expected. As well as the table centrepieces which were very successful. The musicians at the house during the bridal preparation were great and then Ornella left her grandmother’s house and walked with all her relatives and the musicians to the church. It was very emotional. The atmosphere was perfect and the view from the Andromeda wedding venue was magnificent. The food and cake were delicious. But the most magical thing was seeing our loved ones celebrating our love with us and dance with joy. We trained for a year to perform a tango, representing the dance from the movie Captain Corelli’s mandolin, filmed on the island of Kefalonia and telling the love story of two lovebirds with our origins – Italian and Greek – which represents us perfectly! The classes were not easy but fun. Doing this together at the wedding was such a pleasure! It was a very special day as we dreamed of for so many years and we are happy to have wonderful pictures to remember this day throughout our lives».

«Arriving at the venue and doing the entrance dance with all our friends who literally lifted us up was my favorite moment from the day».

«I fell in love with the dress at the first wedding dress store visit. I had 2 pieces – one for the church and one for the evening celebrations. Even if I had chosen it for 3 years already, today I would choose the dress again. It felt just ‘right’ and so beautiful».

We were very happy about having our wedding in Greece! We live in Belgium, and it took us a year and a half to prepare everything, including the trip for all our guests – making sure they had the right ticket flights, hotel, etc. It was not easy, because there are no direct flights from Belgium to Kefalonia, but they all made it, for us. It was a beautiful wedding, and I would do it all over again with no changes.

Ornella Georgia, bride

The bride’s advice: «Take the time to listen to each other and what you really want. Know that even if you plan everything very well, some things might not be as you planned on the wedding day, but it will still be your perfect wedding day! »

Romantic florals in fuchsia and red tones and some gold details are just a few things we are in love with from this summer wedding in Kefalonia decorated beautifully by Bosonis! Gina and Nick exchanged their vows in front of gorgeous floral arch filled with colorful hydrangeas, roses and peonies and we are swooning every time we look at this destination wedding in Kefalonia!

«We met on the island of Kefalonia in July 2013. I was travelling to my family island with 9 girlfriends to celebrate my 21st birthday, and Nick gate-crashed the party! Apparently, I put up quite the fuss, but Nick still thought “she’s marriage material”. A whirlwind move across the world followed and five months later I moved from South Africa to join Nick in London with no return ticket and one suitcase.  Nick whisked me away, showing me the castles and theatre shows and all that London had to offer to make me stay. On the 1st of September 2020 we were visiting Kefalonia and stayed in Fiskardo for two nights. On the final day of our stay in Fiskardo, Nick said he wasn’t feeling too well and wanted to get back to our family villa in Spartia. As we were driving back into the village of Spartia he pulled the car off the road and was bending down into his driver’s side door. I thought “Oh no! He’s going to be sick. We’re almost home, can’t he wait”. To my surprise he pulled out an eye mask and told me to wear it, no peaking, and no questions. At this point I really didn’t know what to expect! It was a COVID year, and I hadn’t seen my parents in over a year because they were stuck in South Africa. I thought just maybe they had made it to Greece after all. With my blindfold on, Nick continued to drive. I thought I would recognize the route, but I did not. Then he parked and led me into a building and up some stairs. When he took the blindfold off, I was in the guest bedroom of our family villa. All the shutters were closed so I couldn’t see anything except the room itself. I remember thinking “some has been in here to clean since we left.” Nick told me that we were going out for dinner and that I had 1 hour to get ready. He also said I was not allowed to leave the room or look through the closed shutters. As he left, he started a playlist from our speaker system. The very first song was “our song” Zambezi by Tinashe. I knew from that song that something special was going to happen. As I got ready, the playlist was full of songs that told our story, from our favorite shows to our favorite live performances, to movies we enjoy and ending, exactly one hour later on a song we sang together in Kefalonia in 2013. I turned off the speaker and opened the bedroom door. The floor was covered in a petal trail with polaroid pictures. The first one read “follow the photos”. There was music playing. It was a bouzouki playing Pelagia’s Song from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – my favorite and filmed on Kefalonia too! The petal trail led me to the pool outside where Nick stood under a beautiful flower pergola with fair lights. The pool was full of colorful petals. Nick asked me to be his wife “forever and ever”, I said “Yes, please!”  We celebrated with champagne and a photoshoot. », bride shared with us.

«I followed Chic and Stylish Weddings online to view ideas from other couples who had got married in Kefalonia before. Trying to get a feel for venues, colors and entertainment. »

«My favorite moment was walking down the aisle with my dad towards Nick and everyone was clapping! »

«Even if the flower quote you get seems expensive, it is worth it! I spent weeks deliberating on flowers and eventually I went ahead with Bosonis Flowers Events Gardening. They made the venue come to life and understood the vision I had. Try to enjoy every moment of the process. I found some days during the planning so stressful that I was looking forward to the day after the wedding so it could all be over, but then eventually it all came together, and it was without a doubt the best day of my life. I used to think when people said that, “yeah, yeah” but to us, it honestly turned out to be the very best day. Because we got engaged during COVID and initially had booked our wedding to be in 2021, we decided to wait until 2022 to allow for more family and friends to have the chance to join us in Kefalonia as they were coming from all over the world. It was worth the wait. Being in one place with all the people we love so very much at the same time – nothing compares. »

«After getting engaged when I got back to London, I called my cousin and said, “let’s just go see what wedding dresses are like and maybe start to get a feel for what I like and what I don’t like.” Well, it was the very first dress I tried on! I had received targeted marketing on Instagram from Aurora Bride in Cheam, UK and booked to see one of their consultants. I explained to the consultant what I thought I didn’t want, and she then went and pulled out 4 or 5 options. The very first dress I tried on I fell in love with. It was everything to me and made me feel like a princess. I was worried about choosing the first dress though, so I did try on another four or five dresses, but I kept coming back to the first one. I walked away that day having secured my wedding dress. I didn’t know that the next time I would see it again would be 21 months later when I would have my first fitting. Thankfully, I still absolutely loved the dress! »

«The Photographer and Videographers came from South Africa to shoot the wedding. I fell in love with both of their styles of capturing through their Instagram profiles and am so pleased they were able to make the trip to Kefalonia. None of our wedding would have been possible without my mum who arranged all of the vendors in Kefalonia and was our person “on the ground» while we were in London planning from afar.»

Welcome to the beautiful romantic wedding of Rebecca and Stephane! This lovely couple exchanged their vows in Kefalonia surrounded by their family and friends enjoying to the highest every moment of their special day while Vicky Bekiaridou Photography captured all their special moments in the outmost beautiful way!

Captured by Vicky Bekiaridou Photography.

«We had been together 10 years before we got engaged. Growing up in a village together, knowing each other since we were 15. In 2022 we stayed at a holiday cottage in the Cotswold’s with my family. Where Stephane proposed with our 4-month-old wearing a vest saying, ‘mummy will you marry daddy?’. The cottage is special to us. We stayed there in 2021 when I told my family we were expecting our son! », bride shared with us.

«We decided to get married 9 months after getting engaged. I have always wanted to get married abroad. To start planning I reached out to Dionysos resort in Kefalonia where Stephane and I had our first holiday together in 2013, 10 years ago! We also had our last holiday there before Covid came. We had a very intimate wedding with family attending. Our families came together, and our son, nieces and nephew had their first abroad holidays to attend the wedding too. My younger sister, Georgina, was my bridesmaid. Her dress color choice inspired the blush roses we requested for our flowers along with a lot of greenery. Maria at the wedding venue was very helpful arranging our requests in Greece. Although we had thunderstorms the morning of the wedding, we had to move the reception inside due to the forecast. The day exceeded expectations. We had our ceremony, first dance and cake cutting outside. After our first dance the DJ continued playing music outside and everyone was having fun and dancing. We had personalized sunglasses for wedding favors, but everyone was grateful. The Greek dancers we had as entertainment were great. We watched them dance in fire and smash plates, even us throwing a few plates after! The day was one we will never forget. Such special memories in one of our favorite places. »

«I looked at the Chic and Styish Weddings site when I was planning my wedding in Greece… »

«The wedding day was the best! But seeing my groom waiting for me and having our first dance to a song we had chosen all those months ago, were very special. »

«I knew what style of dress I wanted and was conscious it must fit in a small suitcase for the plane! At the time I needed a dress I could nurse my son in. This was my main concern. I had to feed him three times in my dress on our wedding day! My dress was perfect, fit my figure and glistened in the light. My mum, sister and I knew it was the one! »

The brides advice: «Enjoy every moment even the planning! Choose things that you and your groom want, it is your special day! »

“We met in high school. Nicholas proposed on a beautiful mountain in Montreal while we were horseback riding in the forest”, Laura shared with us.

“The flowers were very classy and didn’t contrast too much with the color of my dress which is what I wanted. The style of decoration was very “green and white” oriented with beautiful fairy lights to warm up the scenery. The fireworks were our favourite part”.

“I chose a wedding dress in mermaid style with detailing which also had a corset look to accentuate the waist”.

Bride’s advice: “Delegate!! A wedding planner is a must and of course having a photographer capture all those precious moments as well!”

“Our meeting was completely karmic, in a location that would be completely impossible to ever meet again. Different countries (staying in my city only for a year), different friends, completely different quests. However, we happened to meet in a bar (not his type), I was entering the place and he was leaving, we stared each other and fell in love from that moment {how strange to find love among strangers just at a glance}. The proposal overpassed my expectations, it was beyond what I was dreamed of. It combined everything that would make a proposal, every woman’s dream. Surprise, atmosphere, the right time, the right place and perfect conditions. He set up a few days trip in Thessaloniki (one of the loveliest cities), during New Year’ Eve days, where everywhere and everything was perfectly decorated, and the spirit of Christmas make the whole atmosphere magical. While we would pass through a central square (imagine how beautifully it was decorated because of the days) on our way to dinner at a restaurant, he arranged with a street musician to play our song. As we approached to listen to the song and then the musician dedicated us the ”’Marry me” song. At that moment he knelt down and proposed to me while the people in the square were celebrating and cheering. A magical moment, which was even filmed by a friendly couple who were hidden the whole time”, the bride shares with us.

“The bridal bouquet consisted of olives, white roses and white lisianthus. In general, the theme of the wedding in terms of decoration was the olive. The wedding party took place on the beach, therefore, I chose an airy and light decoration, with pillows in the sand and an arch decorated with olive branches and silk fabrics. The tables were decorated with candles and amphoras with flowers (olives, white roses and white lisianthus), scattered olive leaves, and sea stones with an inscription of the names of each guest. The entrance was decorated with two sea timbers with candles and decorated wish table”.

“I was following Love4Weddings for decoration ideas and my wedding dress”.

“My favourite moment was when we entered the church yard and I met the groom for the first time”.

“My wedding dress was strapless princess sparkly wedding dress with a high front slit! Consisting of two parts, a bodysuit and a skirt, so that at the beach party I can stay with the short skirt”.

Bride’s advice: “The simpler the more beautiful, so that everything can be done without stress and always between people you love”.

“We met at my family lake house years ago through one of my friends who also has a family lake house. My friend who also has a lake house was dating Nicks brother at the time (they are now married) and Nick was visiting at her house that weekend and I met him there. Nick and I built and moved into our new home in January 2021 and we hosted Thanksgiving at our home with both of our families November 2021 and he proposed in front of everyone during the prayer before we ate”, the bride shared with us.

“We had a very intimate wedding with just family at the White Rocks in Kefalonia. We got married there because Nicks grandmom is from Kefalonia. She grew up in Kerameies village and still has a home there. She lives in US now with Nicks granddad, but they spend 4-5 months out of the year in Kefalonia where his grandmom’s sister and brother still live. We went on a big family trip to Kefalonia and Nick and I decided we wanted to get married where his grandmom is from. It was the most beautiful wedding ever! My flowers and decorations were perfect. We picked white florals with lots of hydrangeas and gold decor”.

“We worked with Carol from Mythos weddings she was wonderful! She made my dream wedding come to life! Mythos helped coordinate it all.”

“The venue, decoration, and view of beautiful water were the best highlights”.

“I picked a floral looking dress. I thought it reminded me of Greece. The moment I saw it I knew it was the one”.

Bride’s advice: “Trust your planners they did amazing for us. Enjoy every moment of your day because it goes by quickly”.

«For our wedding decoration we chose white roses, lilies, white orchids, white calla lilies and eucalyptus. White was the main color we went for the arch over the doorway of the church and the group of different size of vases with flowers and floating candles along the aisle. My bridal bouquet was made up of white calla lilies which was extremely elegant. The guest tables were also decorated with a 3 different size of vases with roses, floating candles and orchids keeping in the theme. Also, we had an amazing candy bar filled in with cake pops, cupcakes, cookies with our initials on the top accompanied with white orchids”, the bride shared with us.

“I was following Chic and Stylish Weddings and it was great to get inspiration for the decoration, wedding dresses and the wedding theme”.

“I wanted my wedding dress to be an elegant gown and I bought from Pronovias the perfect dress. Lightweight with an elegant silhouette combined with a veil from delicate fabric surrounded with lace. I really loved the lace details on the back and the sleeves of the dress!”

Bride’s advice: “Enjoy every moment of the planning process because it only happens once in a lifetime!”
