From Santorini Glam Weddings…A couple we will never forget! Full of love and happiness, Joyce and Nathan chose Santorini to celebrate their special day along with their close family and friends. The planning process was absolutely lovely, with emails full of enthusiasm and anticipation for the big day!
Joyce wanted an all white wedding and we couldn’t agree more with her decision. Aiming for a unique and luxurious style, she knew exactly what her dream was and our goal was to make her dream come true. We used beautiful David Austin and garden roses together with olive branches for the flower decorations and lots of candles to create a romantic atmosphere.
The details didn’t stop there, after all we had to bring a girl’s dream to life! Joyce walked down the aisle with a harpist playing their favorite song. Furniture and tableware were brought from Athens to complete the ideal dinner set up.
The wedding of Joyce and Nathan was all about creating memories and spending quality time with their friends. A welcoming party on the beach, which was followed by a rehearsal dinner overlooking the Caldera and a private catamaran cruise around the volcano completed the perfect four-day celebration of their wedding.
From The Bride…I always assumed I would have a huge wedding with my big family all in attendance whenever the day came. However, when my sweet husband, Nathan, and I got engaged, we both kept fantasizing about an intimate affair in an unforgettable location. Our idea of a perfect wedding day is sharing it with close friends and family with enough time to talk to, take pictures with, and thank every single guest personally. We just couldn’t shake the dream of a destination wedding!
We visited Santorini on a cruise in 2012 and it remained at the top of our list for a possible location. Once we browsed the work of our incredible planner, Evita Psycha, and the jaw-dropping photos from Anna Roussos Photography, we knew Greece was it!
We spent five days in paradise with our sixteen guests traveling all the way from Los Angeles and Scotland. Everything was just perfect from our beachside welcome party complete with a fire dancer, the magical sunset rehearsal dinner in Fira, our dream wedding, and taking everyone sailing the next morning on a private boat around the caldera as our way of saying, “Thank you”. We will certainly cherish these memories for a lifetime.
