Dressed in lemon hues. 🍋

The bridesmaids in beautiful lemon-shade dresses, the natural colours of the island, and the playful charm of paper parasols.

Inspired by the simplicity of Mediterranean nature, lemons became more than a decorative element. They were a colour, a mood, a little piece of summer woven into the celebration.

And the parasols? A delightful accessory that brought shade, spontaneity, and so much fun to the wedding photo shoot. When elegance meets a little playfulness.

Sun-kissed colours, effortless style, and a touch of Mediterranean joy.

Sadbh & Jobie and their zesty Mediterranean summer wedding 🍋
From church ceremony with string trio setting the tone, through refreshing cocktails, garden style of dinner set up with lots of olive twigs, lemons and baby breath, one statement dancing floor for Mama Mia swings and bar lounge for cigars rights after the champagne tower was filled!
Endless flow of delicious Greek food and warm sky full of stars!
My heart is full with how this day went by for this exceptional newlyweds!

Consultation fee and why in some cases the exchange of information comes with a price tag that applies to planning a wedding as well.

LUXURIOUS or SIMPLE, two words misinterpreted and overused in the wedding industry. Let’s try to be more realistic about budgets and distance ourselves from what media is displaying.

Why do we recommend certain vendors? Here is a short insight into who we work with and why randomly found profiles do not always fit the occasion.

Each planning starts with the right choice of venue and then…
The more details, the more customized elements, then the wedding feels truly yours.
For this retro sea view wedding styling, we added:
Great Gatsby Chandeliers to give a ballroom balance to the reception area
Lavish white florals of ceremony hugging white podium and touches of blush pink to the dinner table garland
Personal stationery among which were hand made ceramic coasters serving as calligraphed escort cards
Satin welcome sign on customized size golden stand
Gold rimmed chairs and glassware
Hand poured local olive oil into crystal bottles with thank you note designed for guests
Retro classy white bar with white handmade wooden cocktail tables…
And all that to prove that ambience is not a passive state. It is a process of creation and linking all parts to display one common feeling that once used to be some scattered ideas

Brittany and Luis forever for their retro wedding on film🤍
Here is what bride thinks about planning with myself and my team❤️

Anna is absolutely amazing! We live all the way in Texas in the United States and traveled with our family to Crete for our wedding, so planning a destination wedding from so far away could have easily been stressful, but Anna made the entire process so easy for us. She was professional, organized, responsive, and truly made my vision come to life. Every detail was exactly how I imagined it, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything came together perfectly. Being so far away, it meant so much to have someone we could trust completely. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. I’m so grateful for all of the time, effort, and care Anna put into making our day so special. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in Crete, especially anyone planning from abroad. Thank you so much, Anna, for helping give us the wedding of our dreams! 🤍

An amazing wedding day in the heart of a hot Cretan summer, where the couple and their guests experienced all and more. 🤍

From an intimate ceremony in front of a white minimalist chapel to cocktails on a rooftop terrace overlooking endless olive groves. The evening continued with heartwarming speeches, a champagne tower, cake cutting, and super fun breaking of plates—a beloved Greek tradition.

A Greek island inspired setting, full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. ✨

Signed with our heart and wishes of happily ever after 💙
