From Ginger Creative

This Greek-inspired stylized wedding shoot started as an idea of Yuriko Larson (Vintage Origami) and Carrie Mayhew (Ginger Creative). A talented team of vendors from the beautiful Okanagan Valley helped bring the idea to life and to create a Greek feel for this wedding. 

God’s Mountain Estate provided the perfect backdrop to reflect the beauty of the Greek Islands. Bold patterns and blue tones used in the stationary and accented throughout the table and lounge area, paired with simple white asymmetrical florals perfectly reflects the charm of a countryside wedding in Greece. 

The bride wore a trendsetting crop top wedding dress. Soft romantic makeup and handmade custom jewelry completed her look. The couple watched the sunset while enjoying an al fresco dinner featuring traditional Greek cuisine.
