Romantic & Intimate Santorini Wedding

You are here: Home / Real Destination Weddings / Romantic & Intimate Santorini Wedding

//  by Alexandra Hillyard // Leave a Comment

It’s not every day that one gets their dream wedding – especially when it’s set atop an idyllic Greek island like Santorini.   Sasha & Morteza, rounded up their guests and jetted off to the dreamy island to say their ‘I do’s’ in early May, when the weather was perfect!

With the ceremony perfectly placed between views of the archipelagos, white-washed villages peaking through the hillside, and the Aegean sea dazzling in the distance, they embraced all that the natural beauty that the island has to offer.

Light pink roses traveled all the way from Holland and were featured on the wedding cake and in the bride’s blushing bouquet. They also made an appearance on the simple yet elegant arch where the bride and groom had their first dance at sunset.

This was the bride’s dream wedding, so they pulled all the stops!  From the diamond tiara, to the enormous fireworks, and Dolce and Gabbana shoes – it was her fairytale come to life!

Tell us about your attire.

The brides wedding gown was a special order from a famous Ukrainian designer and tailored in house in Kiev.  The shoes were hand picked from Dolce Gabbana, and a tiara with diamonds from Chaumet.

Did you include any family traditions?

Yes the special Ukrainian tradition of breaking bread and stealing the bride by bridesmaids dressed as bandits.
