There’s no better wedding inspo than summer flowers and Santorini

outdoor wedding reception

The explosive energy on Julianna and Bjorn's big day in Santorini was something that everyone felt as soon as they arrived. Their colorful elopement was truly a dream come true! This couple can best be described with the words: joy, smiles, and happiness, and the bright colors chosen as the foundational theme for their day portrayed just that. And what better location than the stunning white buildings of Santorini to feature these gorgeous summer colors. If you can believe it, they became just as - if not more - beautiful at sunset!

A venue at the heart of the island provided infinite variety, from cliffs to rooftop to seaside

El Viento Santorini is located exactly at the edge of Santorini Caldera in the heart of the island - it is an absolutely private heaven capable of also providing delicious catering for any event. Petran Art complemented the meal with a cake that was practically a work of art. The food (and everything else involved in bringing this concept to life) was accented by incredible summery floral installations and bouquets by Red Box Days.

Having a set of vendors that worked as a seamless team made all the difference

It was incredible teamwork that brought together the colorful floral arch and the magical landscape on the edge of the cliff at Santorini Caldera. The concept planning originated with Ellie Skourti from Hera's Weddings, and Vivien Huss created the idea to capture unique images in such a professional editorial style.

Purposefully pairing the flowers and lighting created beautiful sets at all times of day

Every vendor involved in bringing the concept to life had hundreds of weddings in their portfolios, from the rental equipment courtesy of Weddings & Whimsy, to the art de la table from Spark Events. Spicy Bites Catering helped source specific furniture, Santorini Events provided unique lighting, and Idea Candles came through with beautiful candles for the sweetheart table.

A dress with some sparkle shone at noon, sunset, and night

Julianna's sparkling dress from IamYours was complemented by the playful lights of the candles. Luckily the weather was on this couple's side - the low humidity and clear sunny day kept the bride's hair (by stylist Rena Skourti) and her naturally glamorous makeup (by artist Renia Bledaki) as perfect as absolutely possible. It was truly a romantic and vibrant night for this happy couple!
