Earthy boho wedding fashion

Bride, Karine, was a timeless bohemian vision in her Hassidriss Bridal wedding gown that featured a woven rope detailing! Her dainty floral crown popped against soft, face-framing waves. To match her earthy style, the gorgeous bridesmaids were dressed in mix and match gowns in hues of green.

To match the ladies' palette of neutrals & green and the lush reception decor, the groom and groomsmen wore delicate olive branch boutonnieres.

Modern Mediterranean destination venue

Modern, yet timeless is the perfect way to describe the scenery of Island Art & Taste, situated against the pristine waters of the Athenian coastline. For destination wedding couples traveling far and wide, this venue is a Greek gem that features clean lines, manicured florals, and vibrant pottery.

The bride rode to the ceremony in a vintage car

A vintage sports car was a fabulously luxurious way for the bride the travel to the ceremony site. The dreamy golden hour light was perfect for a magical portrait moment with Jad Flayhan Photography.

Golden hour ceremony

As the sun set over the Mediterranean Sea, Iyad & Karine wed in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends. Modern and luscious floral design by Fleur Du Jour set an avant garde scene for the couple's "I do's", becoming even more lovely throughout golden hour.

Eva Presley provided a stirring violin serenade for the bride's walk down the olive tree lined aisle!

Floral, olive themed reception

Blu Vows infused the Mediterranean mood throughout the newlyweds' timeless al fresco reception with chic and organic design. As Greece is often associated with olives, the region was celebrated throughout the tablescape; olive branch motifs were present on the invitations & save-the-dates, as well as olive leaves in all floral decor including centerpieces, arches, and more!

Gorgeous rentals provided by White Lilac and TORE elevated the outdoor space of Island Art & Taste.

Loud & Clear and Event Dancers kept the epic dance floor poppin' all night long!!

100 candle wedding cake

As an entirely unique and showstopping finale to the night - the bride and groom were showered in sparkles by 100 cake candles! Their impressive five tier cake by Dipnosofistirion was adorned with olive leaves to tie in the Mediterranean vibe of the day.
