xmas decoration greek weddingIt surely is the most festive season of the year… Who wouldn’t embrace the allure of Christmas and the magic feeling it brings with it? Christmas is about family, surprises, love, good food, partying and luxury… which sound like the truly essential ingredients of a beautiful wedding!

We contacted the great team of e.m. for you , the wedding planners that we liked from the first moment we met them… We meet wedding planners all the time, but we really loved these two, because of the variety of ideas they brought to the table, their fresh way of thinking and the fact that they made the execution of our concepts, in this case, a festive photo shoot, appear like a piece of cake.

I skip my impulse to talk about cake too early, so let’s talk about the inspiration behind it all! We picked two people who are not professional models but yet they look as if they were, to tell a story of a Christmas wedding with golden details and natural decoration!

For the bride, we chose the completely handmade Mayia dress, whose transparency was breathtaking. The groom was dressed in Gentlemen Experts by Atelier Zolotas. The stunning gold jewelry by Thallo completed the bridal look.

The decoration was completed with the golden details of the cake, invitations, and sugar drageés. Who can resist their elegant charm?

Make your new start in life just before the beginning of the New Year… Merry Wedding!

Seeing the final outcome one could not tell, but we had to remake all the arrangements and provide everything from scratch, after recovering from the shock. If these wedding planners could handle this hitch and be able to save the day at the end, we believe they could handle anything.
