Brittany & Armando travelled to Crete from the USA with their closest family & friends for their dream Greek island wedding and what an amazing celebration of love it was!
When choosing a venue for their big day, they lost their hearts to a gorgeous private estate overlooking the Cretan Sea, which would serve as the venue for their romantic ceremony & reception. The estate’s sun-drenched vineyards, rolling olive groves and charming pink chapel made for a fairy-tale location for the couple’s rustic-chic wedding celebrations and every moment felt like a dream come true.
The night before the ceremony, Brittany & Armando and their guests gathered together at a sea-view city restaurant for a pre-wedding dinner of fine Mediterranean cuisine. The stylish restaurant provided the perfect setting for the guests to share their well-wishes for the future bride and groom.
On their big day, the August sun cast its golden rays over the picturesque wedding venue as Brittany & Armando took their vows against a backdrop of the estate’s breath-taking scenery, framed by a lush wedding arch with rich foliage & soft white blooms.
Every last detail had been lovingly taken care of, from the personalised wedding stationery and floral decoration to the venue decor and lighting, with each stunning element coming together to create a picture-perfect setting. Following a sparkly cocktail reception after the ceremony, the new Mr & Mrs enjoyed a couple’s photo shoot in the estate’s stunning grounds before joining their guests for a mouth-watering alfresco reception dinner, with a tempting menu of traditional dishes carefully prepared using locally sourced ingredients.
The couple chose a rustic-iced 2 two tier wedding cake in white, with a tangy lemon filling, and after the cutting of the cake to the applause of their guests, the reception party began with the romantic first dance under a twirling disco ball, sending out super-magical vibes! (In fact, Brittany & Armando adored disco lighting so much that it was top of their list of ‘Must-Haves’ for their wedding reception party!).
The dance floor was soon packed, with family and friends dancing the night away to the upbeat tunes played by the cool DJ. As the wedding celebrations came to an end, everyone agreed it had been an amazing day, one they would remember for always.
The next morning, to make the most of every minute of their wedding celebrations, the newlyweds hosted a relaxed post-wedding brunch for their guests at a beachfront restaurant known for its fine dining experience.
It was their sweet way of thanking their family & friends for making the journey to share in their very special day. They enjoyed a delicious selection of brunch dishes and happily swapped stories about the precious wedding moments they’d all been a part of.
Brittany & Armando’s flawless wedding in Crete combined traditional elements & the unique beauty of Crete in the most idyllic way and careful planning & attention to detail made it a truly unforgettable event. What a joy it was!
