Carefree and in love, this Bride had me at barefoot. Barefoot in Greece, with her Groom and dozens of loved ones. Does it get any better than that? While Anna Roussos‘ images of this celebration captivated me, I proceeded to be wowed by the film from Vasilis Kantarakis Films, which provides proof that this was one ridiculously good wedding. Take a few minutes to be a virtual guest at this Cycladic Gem Luxury Villa ceremony followed by a reception at the Ios Club , you won’t regret it.

From MAZI Event… It was such an enjoyable experience to design and plan the wedding day of our wonderful Daniel and Jasmyn… From the very beginning of our communication we fell in love with this beautiful bride and her vision to get married on a secluded and peaceful spot in Ios island in Greece, overlooking the Aegean Sea!
Daniel was looking forward to propose to Jasmyn with her beloved animal at arm’s length, made it so that they went at the Canberra zoo, where they stayed overnight in the giraffe enclosure! It was definitely the sweetest wedding proposal we have ever heard and we couldn’t resist to include this lovely animal as a sketch detail in their wedding stationery!
Our couple had always dreamt of a summer destination wedding in Greece, and since Ios island is their happy place, they didn’t need much convincing that it was the ideal for them. The ceremony took place at a serene location where everybody, couple and guests, had to make their descent for over 180 meters through a seaside secret path, however the compensation was well worth it! The calm and peaceful ambience of this magic place combined with the breath-taking view to the boundless horizon and the Aegean Sea, made the perfect scenery for the couple to exchange vows of eternal love and dedication in front of an amazing floral arch.
The ceremony was followed by a dinner party, accompanied by Greek flavours especially chosen for the occasion which the guests savoured against the setting sun, enjoying the view and the fresh sea breeze. It was an experience that will be forever cherished in everyone’s hearts… What the couple loved the most was the attention to detail, which was highlighted by the calligraphy wedding stationery, the elegant three-tiered wedding cake with their handwritten names as a wedding topper, arranged on the stunning floral swinging base, the rustic whiskey and cigar bar, the handmade water coloured in soft hues deckle edged menus on the dinner tables. All decorated with the uniquely inspired floral combination of eucalyptus greeneries and wild garden roses… an arrangement that made up for a fresh, bohemian chic style wedding! As the sunset palette was constantly shifting, this perfect evening was completed by the signature cocktails and the one-of-a-kind wedding gifts for the guests: Mastic liqueur love shots against the bar with the calligraphy bar backdrop that was calling everyone to get up on the dance floor and sway under the moonlight! A dreamy party full of memories an amazing couple full of love!
