This seaside celebration in Elounda Crete feels like a love story written with flowers, color and heartfelt moments, as Melody and Atef celebrate their wedding day with a romantic vision brought to life by Double A Weddings. Their journey begins in New York, where a simple dinner turns unforgettable when the waiters bring out a birthday cake, Atef hands Melody a spoon engraved with “will you marry me”, and moments later reveals the ring box, setting the tone for a wedding filled with thoughtful surprises. At the ceremony, a semicircular arch frames the sea, richly decorated with peonies, roses, hydrangeas, carnations and eucalyptus in shades of pink, red, white and soft salmon, creating a floral embrace that feels generous and expressive. The same palette flows through the reception tables, where centerpieces echo the romantic style of the day and complement the setting by the water. Melody shares that her vision focused less on specific flower types and more on the harmony of soft pastels and gentle hues, with florals guiding the decor at every moment, a choice that is beautifully reflected throughout the celebration. From the sweeping arch to the intimate table details, every element comes together in a way that feels personal and full of intention, inviting us to linger and enjoy every image from this unforgettable day!

«We met through a friend! Atet proposed to me in NYC at dinner on a trip we were in for my birthday. When dinner was done the waiters brought out my birthday cake and Atef handed me a spoon and the spoon was engraved with “will you marry me” and he then pulled out the ring box!»
«I wanted my bridal bouquet to have a variety of flowers, so I didn’t focus too much on the specific types. What really mattered to me was the color palette: soft pastels and gentle hues. The overall theme for the decor at every event was centered around florals. We had flowers everywhere and even my wedding dress was covered in over 500 hand-sewn 3D flowers.»
«I followed the site of Chic and Stylish Weddings.»
«My wedding dress was featured a strapless corset bodice made out of crepe fabric. The skirt and train were adorned with over 500 hand-sewn 3D flowers, which were then attached to the dress. It ended up being incredibly heavy but worth it!»
The advice I would give to a bride who is now planning her wedding is if something doesn’t go exactly as planned on your wedding day, don’t stress. The only people who will know something went wrong are you and the wedding planner-no one else will notice. Just focus on being in the moment, enjoying every second and let the wedding planner and their team handle everything.
