«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 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. »

«We met via the best man at our wedding, Max. William and Max have been best friends since school and I met Max at University when he then introduced me to William and well, the rest is History. After 4 years together, William proposed in Rome, which quickly became the most memorable trip for us… » the bride shared with us.

Our team of vendors worked so well together to focus on pulling together every tiny detail, from the types of flowers used including fresh instead of dried pampas and neutral roses, to the gold detailing of the table ware and variety of candles used in our ceremony decor.

chloe, bride

«We chose a neutral palette for our wedding day, to fit in with our beautiful wedding venue, Liopetro, and our chic style. We tried to strike a balance between boho and outdoorsy vibes to fit with the local surroundings and a chic modern aesthetic for a timeless look and feel.»

The bride’s advice: «Try to relax! I struggled to hand over control of any aspect of our wedding but when I was able to relinquish some control to our amazing vendors, the result was so much better than I could have ever imagined! »

Definitely our first dance was my favorite moment. The ceremony was emotional and magical, but we were both so nervous. By the time we got to the first dance, we were both having such an amazing day with our loved ones that we truly enjoyed every second. Our team used beautiful lighting and fireworks at the venue which made our photos extra special!

chloe, bride

«My wedding dress was the stunning ‘Darcy’ from Made with Love Bridal. As MWL is an Australian brand, I found their dresses perfect for the Cyprus weather. I loved my dress so much and wish I could wear it more often! It was incredibly detailed whilst being lightweight and the way it caught the light during our sunset photos solidified my decision in choosing it. »

Through the beautiful images captured by Philip Soteriou Photography we are headed to the undeniably beautiful island of Cyprus for the summer wedding of Beth and Sam. A lovely destination wedding that took place at Cavo Zoe, an elegant boutique hotel overlooking a pristine beach and the ceremony area was decorated with paled toned florals and romantic details. This darling duo had the time of their lives at their wedding reception dancing the night away with their family and friends!

Captured by Philip Soteriou Photography.

«Sam and I met at a mutual friend’s house one evening and initially became close friends, we were only 18 at the time and I was shortly due to move away for university. I spent years hinting about getting engaged and Sam knew exactly what ring I wanted, which I had even been and tried on just weeks before the proposal (with my Best Friend who kept secret the fact she had recently been shopping with Sam to BUY the ring)! Sam proposed to me on our 8th Anniversary at our favorite boutique spa hotel. We had a 10-course tasting menu after a day in the spa, during which the fire alarm went off and the manager asked Sam to ‘take a call’ as he had previously worked there. Little did I know, it had nothing to do with the fire alarm and they were actually agreeing final touches for the special moment, they were all in on it! We took a walk between courses and found that the wedding gazebo was decorated beautifully with flowers and fairy lights (which I soon found out Sam had thoughtfully arranged). Of course, me being me, asked Sam to take a photo and as I turned round, he was right next to me getting down on one knee, with the kind Hotel Manager catching it all on camera. I was so shocked and absolutely over the moon, shortly after we FaceTime our closest friends and family who were all sat eagerly waiting for the call! He even arranged for me to have my nails done before! », the bride shared with us.

We chose a natural, pampas design to coincide with the natural beauty of Cavo Zoe, after staying at the venue early on in the planning process. We had pampas and blush themed flowers in our ceremony arch, table decorations and bridal party bouquets/buttonholes, with an abundance of fairy lights and Eddison lightbulbs to really give it a romantic feel as the evening went on.

beth, bride

«My favorite flowers are Peonies, so we had these featured in my bouquet and Sam’s buttonhole, a dream I had always had. A nice little touch we had during the ceremony was personalized fans for every guest, which came in handy with the beautiful weather we had and also made perfect keepsakes. Our table decorations were simple, floral wreaths, glass floating candles and acrylic table names (made by a friend) with acrylic wine glass place names. We had a top table for just the two of us, which was elegantly framed with beautiful matching flowers and candles and in front of a backdrop of fairy lights. »

At the beginning of our planning process, I spent hours looking through blogs for inspiration, particularly Chic & Stylish Real Weddings feature. This was super helpful being that we were planning a destination wedding and wanted to plan the day to match the perfect image we both had of our heads.

beth, bride

«It is so hard to pick just one favorite moment! I thought I would be really nervous walking down the aisle, but our gorgeous nephews really calmed my nerves and for me, walking the long, beautiful aisle with my dad, seeing my gorgeous fiancé waiting at the bottom, surrounded by all our favorite people was truly a highlight. We were also fortunate that most of our 70+ guests came all the way to Cyprus with us for the holiday, not just the day, some guests even stayed the full 10 days with us. This meant everybody knew each other from the pre-celebrations so they were comfortable with each other on the day. Cue a fun, busy vibe on the dance floor ALL night, alongside our wonderful saxophonist! The post-celebrations and sharing of photos and memories was also really special, keeping the excitement going! »

The bride’s advice: «As much as it is difficult at the time, don’t sweat about the small stuff. Intricate details on the day really don’t matter as much as you think they will. Yes, you and your guests will admire all the hard work that goes into the planning and decor, but the main thing you will all remember is how much fun you had, not the favors and the table layouts. Also, it’s your day, not everybody else’s. Do what you and your partner want during every step of the process and every moment of the day. The top table for just the two of us was the perfect way to spend quality time together, allowing us to sit back and enjoy the meal, reminisce on the day (before it got messy in the evening), with our friends and family around (and it also eliminated any family feuds with who sits where!). »

«As an indecisive person, my Bridal Party were expecting a long, tiresome experience. But no. First shop, third dress and I had found the one. I chose an Essence of Australia fit and flare silhouette with beaded spaghetti straps and a plunging neckline. It had a low-cut button up back, cathedral length train, with simple but shimmery beading and embroidery around the bust and waist. I had my veil bespoke made by my seamstress, which flowed beautifully, but didn’t hide any of the intricate detail of the dress. It was the perfect blend for a destination, a beach wedding, but still a glamorous gown. »

«We met 7 years ago on New Years Eve at a friend’s house. We celebrated the new year and since this day, we couldn’t live without each other.5 years after we met Matthias planned a trip for us to Corfu. We stayed at a beautiful hotel and enjoyed the vacation to the fullest.One evening we wanted to eat in the restaurant at the hotel. We got ready to eat dinner and before we entered the restaurant Matthias said let’s have a quick walk to the small private beach which belongs to the hotel. So we went to the beach to see the sunset and while we went down the stairs I already spotted some rose leaves that were placed on sand. Before I could have thought about anything Matthias started to say beautiful and nice words about our relationship and a few minutes later he was kneeing in the sand and asked me if I want to marry him. Of course, I said yes and we watched the sunset together and opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate our love. », the bride shared with us.

«We wanted to have our wedding decoration chic and clean. We chose the colors olive, gold, white and beige. Of course, there had to be a lot of candles and beautiful white flowers all over the place. For the bouquet I chose white peonies with olive leaves in it. The bridesmaids bouquets also has small peonies and olive leaves in it. We also had big flower bouquets at the church which made it very elegant and we enjoyed the most. Because it looked breathtaking not only on the day but also in the photos. Next to the church we had a candy bar also set up in all white with personalized cookies which made the look of the whole set up at the church perfect. »

«My favorite moment from the wedding was when I walked out of the car and saw Matthias and his family standing in front of the beautiful church and my father walked me to him. Everything looked perfect. We had our favorite people standing with us and celebrating our love together before we all entered the church to get married. »

«I would give the advice to enjoy the planning because it goes by so fast! Also, even if you want everything to be more than perfect on your wedding day and you stress yourself because sometimes some things doesn’t go as planned, you have to enjoy the planning and the wedding day in every second and it will be the best day of your life anyway. It is a once in a lifetime moment! »

«I found my dress in a wedding dress boutique in our hometown Hamburg based in Germany and it is from the brand Enzoani. I tried on many dresses but when I got into this dress I knew this is just perfect for me. My dress was very elegant and chic exactly as we want our wedding to be. It also has some diamond details on the straps and white flowers all over. The long drag made the dress really special. »

«Our story began nearly a decade before our wedding day. We met right out of college in my home state of California, and after a year of long distance, I relocated to join Sebastian in Europe. From our very first date on a Santa Cruz beach to the years that followed exploring Europe, watching sunsets became a staple of our life together. So, it was only natural that our engagement take place at sunset. The proposal was an intimate, private moment. No cameras; no bystanders; just us, Santorini, the Aegean, and the sun sinking into it. », the bride shared with us.

«We chose an array of colorful blooms to mirror a warm summer sunset. Roses were selected as the predominant flower, honoring the flower’s title as the symbol of love. These were enriched with hydrangeas, lysianthus, wisteria, buttercups, and other seasonal foliage.»

«For our ceremony, we opted for a swell of six potted floral arrangements so to frame the large space and not to obstruct the naturally beautiful backdrop. Our reception had the same sunset-toned floral arrangements. The sweetheart table was a vibrant masterpiece, covered in lavish blooms and accented with blue fabric drapery and tall, slender candles. We also hung white wisteria from the pergola by the dance floor to enhance the enchanted summer garden feel of the evening. »

We looked to various wedding blogs, including Chic and Stylish Weddings, for inspiration on overall theme, color palette, flower arrangements, and attire throughout our wedding planning process.

risha, bride

«Our first look was my favorite moment. We were both so excited to see each other and still also nervous about the ceremony and the events still to come. But during these few minutes we were able to focus only on each other, bask in the beauty of the moment, and just hold and laugh with one another. »

The bride’s advice: «I would have two pieces of advice: 1. Your wedding should be a reflection of you, your partner, and your unique love story. So be bold with your vision – celebrate your love the way you want to. If you find yourself entering the wedding planning process unsure of what you want, sit with that discomfort for a while and take the time to really reflect on who you and your partner are and what it is that you enjoy. If not on your own, then with some help from the many professional venders in the wedding business, you will eventually find the wedding vision of your dreams. And then turn that into a reality. 2. Come the day of your wedding, no matter the amount of planning, stress, etc. that you did leading up to the wedding – let it go.»

As a very involved and very detail oriented bride, the best thing I did for myself on my wedding day was to surrender to the day. What happened, happened – and I embraced it, smiled, and let it be. Did every detail of our wedding go according to plan? No, but the day in its entirety was still the most perfect it could have been.

risha, bride

«I wore a wedding gown from wtoo by Watters. It was light and airy with delicately embroidered details. I added a subtle slit in the blush underskirt and dreamy tulle wings, which completed my vision as an ethereal bride. »
