From New York to stone villa in Crete, a romantic escape Lily & Jesus
Lily and Jesus first crossed paths as college students, their connection blossoming into a love that led them to Crete for their destination wedding.
From the moment they contacted Crete for Love, it was clear that they had a strong vision for their day. Working with them was seamless—they knew what they wanted, and we were thrilled to bring it to life.
The couple opted for a soft and elegant color palette—pastel pink, cream, ivory, and rich greenery. These shades were enhanced with a touch of autumnal color in the arch, symbolizing the close of summer as they wed in late September. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to Lily’s bouquet, the luxurious centerpieces, and the custom-designed stationery, was executed with precision and care.
Lily’s taste for art de la table was simply exquisite. She chose gold-accented cutlery, and the plates, featuring elegant rims reminiscent of pearls, added a refined touch to the overall décor.
This intimate wedding, shared with family and their closest friends, felt like a true reflection of Lily and Jesus’s deep connection. After the heartfelt ceremony, as the sun flared its golden hues, everyone gathered on the rooftop to mingle and enjoy cocktails specially chosen for the celebration.
Their wedding was a celebration of love, tucked in a beautiful village under the azure Cretan sky—a breathtaking landscape that perfectly captured the couple’s style and the beauty of the island.
As the day gave way to a starlit evening, laughter and joy filled the air, creating unforgettable memories for everyone present. It was a day where love, family, and the timeless charm of Crete came together in a perfect harmony for those two New Yorkers.
