«Meeting Dimitris is something that probably does not sound very different from many other couples. We knew each other for many years, watching one another from a distance. For a long time, different situations brought us close through work environments and shared friend groups, but at the same time kept us apart, because there was always something that did not allow us to truly get to know each other. As if it simply was not the right moment yet. Until one day we had to work together, in the same place, at the same position, Dimitris and I side by side. The long hours at work and our daily contact slowly brought us closer, like a beautiful puzzle coming together piece by piece, under the perfect conditions. We already knew each other without really having said much at all! For some, this might be just another romantic story, but for us it is our story, the one we think about from time to time and smile with the same smile we had back then, eight years ago. One Friday, we were once again celebrating Dimitris’ birthday, with a big party at home surrounded by all our favorite people. Before that day, I celebrated and loved this birthday every year as if it were my own, it was always a special day for me. That day, one more reason was added to celebrate it, our marriage proposal. Everyone was there with us, a beautiful surprise video wall and an amazing group of people who gave us all their love, and the emotion and happiness we felt that night are forever engraved in our hearts. From that moment on, we started planning the biggest party of our lives. That is what we called it, and that is exactly how we wanted to live it, to have an amazing time together with everyone who would be by our side on that day. The happiest day of our lives!»
«One very special and beloved moment for me, and I think many brides will agree, is the moment you walk to meet your husband. A handsome man standing in front of me, wearing the most elegant black Versace tuxedo, waiting for me to stand by his side. It is the moment you feel most complete, grateful, more in love than ever, breathless from the joy and emotion you feel when you see him after such a day, knowing you made it. You managed to turn your dream into reality and create an us that no one can touch. Because your love will always be above everything else!»
«The decoration was curated by Drimalas Flowers. We wanted something earthy, warm and minimal, with a combination of soft salmon tones and white roses, a few boho elements, eucalyptus and pampas grass to complete exactly what we had imagined, just as it turned out. The entire estate of Iokasti Venue was decorated with geometric candle holders and floor candle jars, creating a beautiful pathway leading to the chapel. We kept the same minimal style on the guest tables with small gold details and soft earthy shades. From the sweet and savory bites placed all around the estate as a warm welcome to our guests, to the aroma of the Mediterranean dishes carefully curated by Anagnostopoulos Catering, everything came together so harmoniously, like a perfectly tuned choir playing in the sweetest fairytale with the most beautiful ending.»
«A wonderful journey of wedding preparations began, organizing everything step by step together, always keeping in mind that we wanted to enjoy every single moment. And that is exactly what we did! Almost magically, our instinct led us to choosing the right people, allowing us to enjoy every collaboration without stress, always with the mindset that fits a party of happiness and love. We started by choosing the venue that would host the most important day of our lives. Iokasti Venue was our choice without a second thought.»
«I used to visit Love4Weddings while planning my wedding, mainly for decoration inspiration and combinations of colors and styles.»

«Our invitations were created by our beloved Koar from «Koar Flowers», a truly unique person. Some people simply love what they do and become one with the vision and idea of the couples, as if they were their own children, wanting to make their dream come true no matter what. We owe a big thank you to our sweet Koar because she was exactly that! The invitations and the favors meant something very special to us, more personal and more authentic. It is about the invitation you give to each person individually to attend the most beautiful event of your life and, in the end, the gift you offer as a keepsake when they leave, to show them how important it was for us that they stood by our side on that day and contributed to our joy by celebrating and having fun at our party. That is exactly how it was with our favors as well. Our idea was to create something that would last. That is why we decided to make glass candles from scratch, gathering all the materials and step by step creating the most beautiful result. I can say it was the sweetest thought, because you put effort into creating something with so much love and joy that will remain and decorate the home of every family member, friend and relative who came for us on that day. So these two keepsakes were designed by us, with our hearts, to say a big thank you to everyone!»
If I could give any advice to all couples planning their wedding, it would be to trust their instinct. Our heart does not make mistakes! It is not material things that make a wedding successful. You will meet many professionals and people along the journey of wedding planning, those who make your heart smile are the right ones!
