Elegant two-days wedding
Kalliopi, who comes from the beautiful Aegean island of Chios, found true love in the face of Dinos, who comes from Crete. They live in New York. The couple chose Chania, the groom’s birthplace, for their wedding.
160 relatives and friends travelled to Crete for this lovely wedding.
Two days before the wedding, we organised a fabulous pre-wedding party at a traditional Cretan restaurant with a breath-taking view to the White Mountains. The food were authentic local creations, including Cretan mezes, Cretan chicken wedding risotto, lamb roasted in the wood oven and food cooked on the grill. The party lasted till early hours, with the guests enjoying the loud music and dancing all night long.
The orthodox ceremony took place at a beautiful chapel of Chania next to the sea, with a breath-taking view and a magical sunset. The reception was held at a luxury hotel of Chania, right by the sea.
For their wedding, the couple chose white flowers and fine elegant decorations. For the church, they chose a big round arch of white flowers and leaf foliage. All spotlights were on the bride, when she arrived in a classic antique car wearing a wedding gown with a 4-metre long train of lace.
After the ceremony, the new couple was photographed next to the sea, while guests were offered plenty of champagne and cocktails in the sounds of a fabulous live concert of one talented guitar player with a magical voice!
