Getting married at the beach provides endless inspiration

Nature is an endless source of inspiration no matter the season, and Geropotamos Beach was the sparkle that caught the designer's eye to make this shoot happen. This beach owes its name to the Geropotamos River that flows into this sea. That river was - without a doubt - the perfect ceremony backdrop for this editorial.

Glowing skin in natural bridal make-up and the ivory fabric of the dress were highlighted by the neutral, earthy, and green tones of the surrounding grasses. The groom stood out equally in this setting wearing a luxurious black and white suit.

Pink and black accents add luxury to what could be a more casual setting

The reception tablescape overlooked the breathtaking sea arches with their mysterious allure. The mirrored tables added a sense of luxury, and the clear chairs added the simplicity that comes with elegance. The black details, including the candles, plates, cutlery, and custom favors, completed the ultimate contemporary design.

Mixing fresh and dried flowers brings texture and glamour to the sandy setting

The table flowers were designed in a very natural style and - in conjunction with the pink napkins - made the wedding design contemporary, yet romantic. Simple modern calligraphy adorned the invitations, and the combination of warm tones with the edgier black created a high-contrast palette that spoke for itself.
