The summer wedding of Giannis and Fotini in Athens is filled with beautiful blooming details, vibrant yellow touches and unforgettable moments that take us straight to the most special day of their life together! White, ivory and vibrant yellow set the tone for the romantic wedding decoration, where roses, lisianthus, delphiniums, peonies, chamomile flowers and craspedia meet olive leaves and eucalyptus in lush, airy arrangements. Fotini’s romantic A line wedding dress by Eleni Kollarou, with its soft tulle, beautifully completes her bridal look, while the beautiful wedding bands by Tsaldaris are a timeless choice for the couple and symbolize the love that unites them. One of the most beautiful details for the bride, as she told us, was the wedding favor featuring sempreviva, the distinctive yellow flower that grows on the rocks of Kythira and is known as the «everlasting» flower, as it retains its beauty even after it dries. Its symbolism, a love that endures through time and remains alive, so beautifully expresses their own feelings, while each wedding favor was accompanied by a card that read «for the love that always blooms like sempreviva», giving their guests a small keepsake with true meaning. The beautiful moments of the day were captured by Irini Kolovou Photography, with Fotini sharing with us: «One of the best parts of our wedding was working with our photographer, Irini Kolovou, whom we can now call a friend. Irini truly loves her work and this is reflected in her flawless and artistic results.» Don’t miss all their beautiful moments!

«The color palette of the wedding decoration featured soft shades of white, ivory and peach, with small touches of vibrant yellow. The bridal bouquet had an asymmetrical shape and the main flowers were roses in peach and cream shades, lisianthus, delphiniums, peonies, chamomile flowers and the distinctive yellow craspedia. Olive leaves and eucalyptus completed the look, adding natural and airy movement.»
«The wedding decoration matched perfectly with the white chapel at Ktima Ivelia and its lush green surroundings. One of the special details of our wedding was the wedding favor, for which we chose sempreviva, a yellow flower that grows on the rocks of Kythira and is known as the «everlasting» flower, as it retains its beauty even after it dries. Its symbolism touched us from the very beginning, as it represents a love that endures through time and remains alive. We accompanied each wedding favor with a card that read «for the love that always blooms like sempreviva». In this way, we gave our guests not only a beautiful keepsake, but also a message that expresses what love means to us.»
«My wedding dress was created by Eleni Kollarou and it was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. Mrs. Eleni understood from the very first moment which style suited me and exactly what I had in mind. We created a romantic and elegant A line wedding dress with subtle sparkle. Throughout the entire process, I had complete trust in her and did not worry about the result for a single moment. When I wore the final version of the wedding dress, I felt that it was truly mine and I could not have imagined anything more suited to me.»
Our wedding photographer Irini Kolovou is an exceptional professional and has chosen the best team to work with. The result exceeded all our expectations. She guided us calmly and discreetly and made us feel comfortable from the very first moment.

«If I could give one piece of advice to a bride to be, I would tell her above all to enjoy the journey and the day with the person she loves. To live every moment 100%, because the day goes by very quickly. I would also tell her not to let anyone or anything cause her stress. It is very easy to get carried away by perfectionism and other people’s opinions. At the end of the day, though, what truly matters is that you are celebrating your love and the beginning of your life together. Even if something does not go exactly as you planned, just keep enjoying it. In the end, you will not remember whether everything was perfect, but how happy you felt and how much love you shared with the people who were by your side.»
«One of our favorite moments was the reception party. We danced, sang and enjoyed it until the very last minute. A big part of this unique atmosphere was thanks to Ktima Ivelia’s DJ, Giorgos Tolias, who was there for us from the very beginning. He listened to our music preferences, guided us with his experience and, throughout the party, constantly read the energy of the crowd. It was a party we will remember forever!»
«We chose to have our next day wedding photoshoot in Matera and Alberobello, Italy, and these photographs will forever remind us of a unique trip filled with beautiful memories. We feel grateful to have met Irini and she is someone who forever captures our most precious moments, the smiles, the tears of joy and all the emotions of the day.»
