their love story
Alyssa and Brian’s journey began with a serendipitous encounter at a coffee shop in Athens, where a simple shared smile led to a love story they never anticipated. After five years of adventures and shared dreams, they chose to celebrate their union with an intimate lakeside wedding at the enchanting Lake Vouliagmeni.
the vision: grecian romance
What truly set the day apart was the breathtaking lakeside ceremony framed by the natural beauty of Vouliagmeni. Guests were greeted with custom olive oil candle favors, a nod to Greek tradition, and dined under the magical floating candles surrounded by lush hydrangea arrangements by Petridis LV. The tranquil ambiance and heartfelt moments made it a day to remember.
the stationery
Guests received an olive envelope in the mail, a nod to the Grecian destination. Upon opening, they were greeted by timeless invitations in shades of ivory and sage. Each invitation suite was then wrapped in sage toile, cinched in rich green velvet, and finished with a gold wax seal–details that would appear throughout the wedding day. As guests took their seats on the big day, they were met with a wedding program that doubled as a fan tied with a sage silk ribbon. Not only do these little details help your guests keep track of the what and when, they also help incorporate your color palette into your ceremony space.
the fashion
The wedding party embraced timeless elegance, with Alyssa in a minimalist mermaid gown adorned with delicate lace, complemented by natural, dewy makeup and a soft updo accented with a sprig of sage. Her bridesmaids donned flowing sage green dresses, mirroring the serene palette, while Brian and his groomsmen opted for classic black suits.
the escort display
On a lovely custom-printed sage backdrop surrounded by candles, guests found their names on round printed escort cards.
floating candles
This unique venue really came alive at night with dramatic uplighting reflecting off of the unique rock formations. Be Our Guest wanted to enhance the magical feel of the evening, creating a whimsical floating candle installation above the reception table.

The couple’s advice to those planning their big day? “Stay true to your story. Incorporate personal touches, no matter how small, because those details make the day uniquely yours.” Their wedding planner, Be Our Guest, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of designing a celebration that reflects the couple’s essence while creating a warm experience for their guests.
