When a bride and her friends plan a wonderful rustic wedding, then we quarntee that you will lose your mind over it. Christina & Giannis met in London in 2012. “We met through his sister, Katia with whom we used to go to the same school since we were 10. We never had the chance to meet when we were kids because of the age difference”.

“He proposed in Alonnissos, on a beautiful balcony with sea vies on August 2016. He had decided to propose since February of the same year and nobody knew. While we were going on vacations that summer, he kept saying that these were about to be the best vacations of our lives!”.

“We chose for our wedding, a rustic theme with lots of eucalyptus leaves and off white peonies and roses. All the decorations, the invites, the name tags, the table plans, the welcome sign, the thank you cards, all were made by us from scratch”.

Christina chose for her wedding day an ethereal wedding dress in A line with lace. “My wedding dress was simple and chic. I wanted something simple that could easily be transformed to a dress after the wedding. When we first saw our wedding pictures it was like living the day all over again. It was amazing to see all the touching & joyful moments like we were there again!”.

Christina’s advice to all future brides to be that are now planning their weddings is this:
“Plan your wedding day the way you want and enjoy each moment of planning. Ask for help to your significant other and find things that you both love for that day. No need to stress! The most important thing is to be with people that you love and they love you!”.
