[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The wedding was a vibrant celebration of color, blending white, fuchsia, orange, yellow, pink, and lush greenery. The venue, a club, was transformed into a fairy-tale botanical garden, with a mix of hues creating a dreamy and magical atmosphere. It was a feast for the eyes, as the colors and natural beauty made the setting feel enchanting and otherworldly.[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Two years before their engagement, Charley and Rob visited Zakynthos with their extended family. They fell in love with the island’s relaxed vibe, the perfect weather, the warmth of the locals, and, of course, the incredible Greek food. It was a memorable trip that made the island even more special when they returned to get engaged.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Rob and Charley first met abroad at the wedding of mutual friends. Rob received a last-minute invitation and ended up sitting at the same table as Charley, a moment Charley now sees as fate. Less than a year later, they got engaged on the beautiful island of Zakynthos. After the proposal, they celebrated the special moment at the Cotton Club. Charley and Rob recalls that once they’d been there, no other venue could compare.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Charley fell in love with a dress called “Paradise” by the renowned designer Eva LENDEL. Although it was hard to find in the UK due to its limited availability in only a few stores, Charley felt it was worth the journey to track it down. She explained that she chose the dress because she wanted to sparkle in the sun on her special day.[/field]

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]All the bridesmaids wore matching fuchsia dresses in the same style. The little ones had dresses with added details, including bows, but still in the same vibrant color, creating a cohesive and coordinated look.[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Charley and Rob have a deep love for international cuisine, and their wedding menu reflected that. For starters, they served salmon ceviche, followed by tender beef sirloin. For dessert, they chose a delicious Pavlova. Before the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks from an open bar, offering refreshing Greek Mythos beer, sparkling wine, and fancy cocktails. The mix of flavors and drinks added to the festive and global atmosphere of their celebration.[/field]
