The flowers that the bride chose for her bouquet were a divine combination of blush, ivory and pink roses. The pale colors gave a romantic touch to the wedding decoration.

«We chose to have our destination wedding in Athens Greece because Philip’s grandparents live there, and we wanted to bring the wedding close to them. Philip has a lot of family in Athens and the surrounding areas, so it was wonderful to share the experience with all of them. Also, Athens is a beautiful city, especially Vouliagmeni where the wedding took place, so it wasn’t a difficult decision to make!»,Leslie told us.

Leslie mentioned about the vintage wedding decor: «We had a fantastic wedding planner, Vana from White Ribbon Boutique Events. She was a dream to work with from start to finish. She had excellent taste and was very easy to deal with… she made the whole wedding planning process so enjoyable. My favorite part of the decoration was the hanging flowers in glass votives… they were beautiful!»

Vana, the wedding planner told us: «Before the ceremony, we gave the guests home made peach juice that the groom’s grandma had made. For glasses we used small jam jars, tied beautifully with pale colored ribbons and straws in the same color.With the juice we also gave the female guests handmade fans with the wedding program. The male guests received the wedding program printed on black board pattern cards».(

«There were so many beautiful moments during the day but for me, the best moment was walking up the aisle with my father and seeing Philip standing waiting for me. It was very emotional… I will never forget the feeling».

Phillip proposed on April Fool’s day… «We were having breakfast one Sunday morning and all of a sudden Philip was down on one knee with a ring in his hand, asking me to marry him. Because it was April Fool’s Day I thought he was playing a joke on me… so Ιhad to keep checking that it was serious!! It was a wonderful day, one of the happiest of my life! ».

Instead of the traditional wedding guest list, wedding planner Vana used escort cards, that were placed alphabetically in picture frames. Brilliant wedding planning ideas!

Leslie and Phillip created with their guests a wonderful alternative to the wedding guest book by adding their finger prints as “leaves” on the tree and writing their warmest wishes.

It is tradition in an Irish wedding for some of the male members of the bridal party to give a speech before the meal. As Leslie shared with us: «At our wedding, my father, Philip and his best man all gave speeches. Philip actually had two separate speeches, one in Greek for our guests that did not speak fluent English, and one in English for our English speaking guests! »

The bride’s advice to all the other couples planning their own wedding:«My advice would be to hire a good wedding planner if you are having a destination wedding. It really simplified the process and is definitely worth the money».
