Jo & Rich chose to seal their love in the beautiful island of Lefkada, in a romantic seaside venue. The bride approached the wedding ceremony by boat, wearing her lovely boho style flower wreath and looking stunning in her elegant wedding dress with lace details and long sleeves. The bridal bouquet was made with silk flowers in peach, white and rose hues, decorated with family pieces of jewelry as ornaments. We loved the vintage and chic decoration of the wedding reception tables which were decorated with burlap runners and glass vases with fresh flowers and candles. Check out the following photos by Maxeen Kim Photography and get inspired by this romantic, vintage beach wedding!
The bride shared with us: “Rich and I met at work for the Home Office, Immigration Crime Team. I was an Immigration Criminal Investigator and Rich was a Detective.”
“We both love the outdoors and we went for a weekend to a cottage in Creetown, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland so we could walk and bike ride. On one of the days we did mountain biking in Kirroughtree forest and Rich proposed at next to a Loch which has one of the 7stanes stone sculptures next to it. It is a beautiful place. The sculpture there is the Hidden Gem, a 1.75 tone stone made from Scottish pink quartz.”
“My wedding ring is a rose gold and diamond set shaped band to fit round my engagement ring. Rich’s ring is a classic white gold court ring. Both from Goldsmiths in Leeds, UK.”
“I bought the bridesmaids dresses from ‘Very’. They were dusty pink with a pleated skirt. I wanted something light and floaty for Greece and that suited the shape of all my bridesmaids. The blush pink matched my centrepieces and the buttonholes.”
“I made my own flowers as I wanted to use them again for our wedding party back in England. I bought silk flowers from Country Basket which I used for the bride and bridesmaid bouquets, center pieces and buttonholes. I used family pieces of jewelry as ornaments on the flowers.”
“My wedding dress was Love Marley by Watters, style 53103. I loved the boho feel and the heirloom inspired lace and bell sleeves which had a romantic look. I had always wanted a dress that was different to anything I had seen before. My bridal shoes was Tamara in Blush Satin with a drop diamanté ankle loop from Pink by Paradox London.
Rich’s outfit was from Slater Menswear in Leeds. The wedding jacket is by 7 Square, navy blue with a lighter blue pin stripe through it. Matched with cream chinos and brown leather deck shoes.”
“The best moment of my wedding was approaching seaside by boat. I could hear our wedding music and the place looked amazing! I saw Rich waiting for me in his wedding outfit, he looked lovely but nervous. The day was everything I imagined it would be. Just perfect.”
“I bought vintage print invitations online. They were in the style of old postcards with vintage roses. Our wedding favors was ‘Ouzo 12’ miniatures via Lefkas Weddings.”
“Our wedding cake was a naked style lemon sponge cake and we had a bespoke wooden cake stand to display it on.”
“I found your blogs Chic and Stylish Weddings, Love4Weddings, EverAfter very useful to see pictures of other destination weddings in Greece and I then used Pinterest and Lace and Favour for ideas.”
