Elegant modern wedding in Zakynthos | Mary-Louise & Nikos

Posted on October 29, 2018 Leave a Comment

Today we’re sharing with you the beautiful wedding of a sweet couple in a small historical village in Zakynthos, where they first met. For their special day, they wanted to organize an elegant modern celebration of love with grey and white hues, some gold details and many fresh white flowers. For greenery they chose olive leaves and garlands which added a Hellenic touch. Except from their wedding, you must-see their gorgeous pre-wedding shoot on the blog! Simply stunning!

The bride shared with us: “Niko and I met during my summer travels to Zakynthos in 2015. I had booked 3 nights in his boutique hotel and extended my stay for another 2 nights. After returning back to Canada from my vacation, I booked another flight back to Zakynthos. I couldn’t wait to see him again! The rest is history!”

“Niko waited to propose on the day my mother arrived from Canada in March. He secretly bought “the ring” I had fallen in love with months earlier. The jeweller convincingly told me that he had sold it to another client after I sadly noticed it was missing from the display window. Niko opened a bottle of champagne and gave me a wooden box with a smile and said, “Now you can have this. It’s yours. Open it!” I opened the box and saw “the ring” inside. I began to cry and so did everyone else. It was the perfect moment!”

“My wedding dress was designed by Costantino. After trying on several dresses, I fell in love with this one. When I asked the atelier the name of the dress, she informed me that it wasn’t on the market yet, so it was unnamed. She loved my name and said, “since this is your dress, it would be an honour for us to name it after you.”

“The wedding blogs, Chic and Stylish Weddings, Love4Weddings and EverAfter were extremely helpful in planning our wedding. We were able to find our photographer through your site and get inspired by all the beautiful weddings featured.”

“The ceremony took place in a church in Bochali, a small historical village just under the old Venetian castle of Zakynthos, overlooking the town and main port of the island. We chose this particular church because it was in the same location as our first date where I started falling in love with Niko and Zakynthos.”

“I picked white peonies and olive branches for my bouquet. I had the florist attach a small frame with my late father’s picture, so he was still with me as I walked down the aisle.”

“The best moment of our wedding was when the Archbishop of Zakynthos surprised and honoured us by helping officiates the ceremony. When he joined our hands he said, “together in happiness and sadness”. That moment was one I will never forget. His sincerity and truth in that statement will resonate in me forever.”

“We picked Niko’s hotel as the location for our reception because it’s what originally brought us together from opposite sides of the world 3 years ago. It also has historical significance because the land once belonged to Niko’s grandfather and some of the original olive trees still surround the property. The olive branch later became the theme of our wedding.”

“The concept and style of our wedding was “simple elegance” with the theme of the olive branch intertwined throughout. Our colours were grey and white which naturally complimented the existing style of the hotel. Our guests sat next to the infinity pool overlooking the Ionian Sea.”

“The wedding decoration featured long rectangular tables, custom linens, olive garland with white flowers and candles. White orchids were the theme of the church’s exterior used with contemporary multi-sized metal framed boxes. Niko and I didn’t want to add too much colour because we wanted the greenery of the olive trees to be the focus of our wedding. Natural simplicity is very chic and stylish for us!”

“My advice to a bride-to-be is to choose a concept that represents you as a couple because it’s much easier to plan something that comes naturally!”
