Ariana & Nate, two New Yorkers with a restless spirit! A beloved couple with open mind, full of inspiration & imagination, ready to be committed to each other, in Greece! The perfect wedding destination definitely Gytheio, East Mani. The seaport of Sparta possesses a landscape that combines stone with wood, sea with rocky mountains. Friends & family travelled to Gytheio for a magical wedding like a fairytale, next to the sea. The sea after all was the main driver for everything, the selected concept! The colors, a combination of the nature in Mani: blue, green & white. The pre-wedding small parties and the preparation of the bride took place in a stone built boutique hotel, too close to the sea… Ariana looked astonishing in her icy blue Cinderella gown dress, by Galia Lahav! The bride maids, all straight from the Big Apple, wearing white & unique crowns with sea shells on their heads. Nate looked cool, nice & smart in his blue suit with special emphasis on his brand new white sneakers! The ceremony very traditional, very unconventional, very everything! A small church was selected at Cranae island, the most ideal scenery to get married in a historical tower, again next to the sea. All guests though will definitely remember the authentic Greek music band that escorted the bride and empowered everybody to dance before the ceremony causing a small delay… This was the same band with the special guest DJ from New York that made the party unforgettable! The details again inspired from the sea: centerpieces in huge sea shells, names of the guests handwritten in mussels’ shells, an impressive dessert table promoting the moto: “Let the Sea Set You Free”! Fantastic music, endless dance, unique vibes. Ariana & Nate we are looking forward to meeting you again! Until next time…
