Romantic moments and beautiful images from a summer wedding filled with love await us as Stella and Orestis celebrate their most special day, almost ten years after that very first glance that began their love story, surrounded by modern chic wedding decoration with white as the dominant color. Orestis chose romantic Verona to propose in a way Stella never expected. On a balcony overlooking the beautiful city, he asked her to pose for a photograph and, while she was admiring the view, he got down on one knee with the ring in his hand, giving her an unforgettable surprise that celebrated everything they had built together. At their wedding, white floral arrangements featuring hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus and calla lilies, surrounded by lush greenery, gave the wedding decoration a beautiful contemporary feel, while mirrored stands supporting selected floral arrangements along the aisle in front of the church added a distinctive touch. The couple’s first dance also holds a special place in their memories, a tango for which Stella and Orestis devoted so much time and effort to perfecting the choreography, creating one of the most memorable moments of the evening beneath the atmospheric lighting by Dj Party Project. Stella also shares some valuable advice for every bride to be: «The advice I would give to a future bride is, first of all, to organize her wedding properly and create a clear timeline for appointments and preparations with the wedding professionals. This way, everything will be ready on time and there will definitely be much less stress. Above all, though, I would want her to remember that this is the couple’s day. It is a unique day that goes by incredibly quickly and will never happen again. So, whatever happens, whatever small mishap or detail doesn’t turn out exactly as planned, it is worth putting it aside and enjoying the moment. The most important thing is to experience every second beside the person she loves, because the memories of this day will stay with her forever.» The beautiful photographs by Photomad capture Stella and Orestis’ loving glances, warm embraces and unforgettable moments in the most wonderful way, allowing us to feel all the emotion of their special day!

«We first met at a mutual friend’s birthday party. She was a classmate of Orestis and a university friend of my sister. Until that moment, I believed that love at first sight only existed in movies. But from the moment our eyes met, something inside me changed. That evening, we didn’t exchange a single word, only glances. Luckily for us, our mutual friend arranged for all of us to go out for coffee, giving us the chance to get to know each other better. Just a few days later, we went on our first date, and from that moment, the most beautiful chapter of our lives began.»
«Days turned into months and months into years. Together, we shared dreams, difficulties, laughter, travels and countless little everyday moments that made our love grow stronger and stronger. And so, almost ten years after that first glance that started it all, the marriage proposal came, at a moment when I least expected it. We were in romantic Verona, on a balcony with a wonderful view of the city, when he asked me to stand so he could take a photograph of me. While I was turned toward the view, he took out the ring and got down on one knee. When he asked me to turn around, I saw him in front of me with the ring in his hand, and I was speechless with surprise. It was a moment filled with emotion and joy that I will remember forever. A moment that celebrated everything we had built together and opened the way for the most beautiful journey of our lives together.»
«For our wedding decoration, I had envisioned something modern, grand and elegant at the same time. I wanted every detail to have a beautiful aesthetic and everything to come together harmoniously. To achieve the elegant and luxurious style we had imagined, we chose white flowers, such as hydrangeas, roses and lisianthus. The white floral arrangements were surrounded by lush greenery, including mastic branches, eucalyptus and ruscus, creating a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic.»
«The modern touch we wanted came from the mirrored stands, which were used for selected floral arrangements along the aisle in front of the church, on some of the reception tables, for the stands supporting the wedding candles, and for the structures holding the dance floor lighting. The reflection of the flowers and lighting elements on the mirrored surfaces added sparkle and luxury, completing the modern aesthetic we had imagined. I wanted my bridal bouquet to match the style of my wedding dress, which had a mermaid silhouette and was embellished with rhinestones and pearls. That’s why I chose calla lilies, whose simple and refined beauty perfectly complemented the modern and elegant look. Also, to create a subtle connection with my wedding dress, the bouquet’s wrapping was decorated with pearls, adding an extra touch of elegance.»
There were two favorite moments from our wedding. The first was when I saw my husband waiting for me at the end of the aisle and, a little later, when we reached the little chapel together, he told me how beautiful I looked. It was a small moment, but it meant so much to me.

«We loved all the details of our wedding decoration. The stunning floral arrangements certainly played a leading role, as did the head table, above which we had placed wisteria with fairy lights and an impressive chandelier. What brought me the greatest joy, though, was the harmony between every element and how beautifully everything came together. The personal touches we had carefully created ourselves were especially meaningful to us, such as the frames with the table numbers, the rice cones, the wedding favors, the guest book and the stand with our monogram, which made the decoration even more special and personal.»
«My second favorite moment was our first dance. We had devoted so much time and effort throughout the year to achieve the result we wanted, and at that moment, we truly enjoyed it. We loved every second of our choreography, and it was wonderful to see that our guests enjoyed it just as much as we did.»
