Color Palette Inspired By The Aegean Sea

Inspired by the Cycladic sea's colors, they opted for custom-made tablecloths in shades of the Aegean Sea from Spark Event Rentals. This created a dreamy dining experience with beautiful flower plates that reflected nature. Carefully arranged flatlays, wedding invitations, and blue menus harmonized beautifully with the floral designs on the plates.

The Inspiration

Their incredible team brought the vision to life: Giannis from Marias Flower Weddings in Santorini, Mario Restaurant Catering for the elegant ghost chairs and round tables, Lydia from Spark Event Rentals for the custom-made tablecloths, Santorini Idea Candles for the lovely candles. They used various sizes of candles to create a magical wave-shaped setup, with the candlelight during the blue hour after sunset being simply breathtaking.
