Demos has asked for Elle’s hand in marriage when they holidayed in the Athens as they watched the lights of monumental Parthenon lighting up the sky. So the choice of their wedding location was an easy and obvious one, and that was to return to have a destination wedding in their family’s hometown. Elle and Demos wanted a traditional wedding that pays homage to their Greek ancient ritual and tradition thus their beautiful Greece wedding at the bride’s parents estate that sits on the cliff overlooking the Nifties Bay for the reception. In the morning, the ceremony and exchange of vows were held at a 150 years old quaint and beautiful seaside church.
Elle wore an intricately beaded gown, with her six gorgeous bridesmaids by her side in simple white gowns. The naturally picturesque venue need but just soft touches of decor, so the couple oft for soft white, gold and green and fairy lights on 100-year-old olive trees surrounding the property – creating a relaxed yet glamorous atmosphere. Demos and Elle’s main desire was to put on a wonderful and memorable party for their guests, and that’s exactly what they did. The wedding was spectacular, and by evening, the venue lit up and the celebration turned magical as the couple have their closest and dearest friends and family celebrate their union and partied into the early hours of the morning.
One of the most memorable moments of their special day was making their entrance to the reception aboard a boat, “We will never forget the moment we sailed in to see all five tiers of our magnificent reception lit up, with 300 guests clapping us in. It was truly spectacular.”
