FROM ATHENS WITH LOVE

ATHENS riviera, GREECE

DAMI & MARTIN

A seaside romance for a destination wedding

Dami & Martin's wedding was a relaxed seaside affair on the banks of Athens Riviera. We chose this venue for the spectacular view and our couple even picked their specific table placement so they were able to overlook the clear Aegean Sea during the dinner, how romantic! With the bursts of colour from the bougainvillea throughout the property, we opted for a pared back colour palette of earth tones with pampas and dried grass. Their wedding day was emotionally charged! From the speeches to the first dance and prayers, we were moved by the thoughtful words of wisdom and love from friends and family of the couple. That's the best part of destination weddings, you really feel the love and special memories are made for everyone!

DANCE BY THE OCEAN

A DIFFERENT KIND OF LUXURY

Dining by the sea, watching the sunset is truly an unmatched experience. True luxury is always about the guest experience first and foremost, not just the decor or production. This is true not just on the wedding day but even beforehand! Accessibility was an important factor for this wedding. Things like choosing a location that guests can easily fly into, having the wedding venue itself be where guests can all stay as well, the spaces used throughout the day be close to each other... they all make things so much easier for your guests and true luxury is so much about the care and dedication we are able to offer for the specific needs of your guests and your desires. We used the poolside area for our dance floor and guests really multi tasked dining and dancing, starting the party early even in the afternoon! In the evening, we organised a surprise fireworks display and sparklers as well as coloured smoke props to kick off the after party. This wedding was a one of a kind experience and we cant wait to plan more amazing weddings such as this one!
