The Fashion
For this enchanting occasion, the planners chose a dress from Ritual Unions Berlin that perfectly matched the dreamy setting. The gown from Ritual Unions and the blue and white floral tie matched perfectly with the flatlays, invitations, and flowers on the plates. The bride’s flawless makeup and hair by Fiona from Atelier Refine added the final touch. The exquisite wedding rings were provided by Marc Stich.
The groom wore a navy suit with a blue and white floral tie from Männersache Fritzlar, tying everything together perfectly.
Color Palette Inspired By The Aegean Sea
Inspired by the Cycladic sea’s colors, they opted for custom-made tablecloths in shades of the Aegean Sea from Spark Event Rentals. This created a dreamy dining experience with beautiful flower plates that reflected nature. Carefully arranged flatlays, wedding invitations, and blue menus harmonized beautifully with the floral designs on the plates.
The Inspiration
Their incredible team brought the vision to life: Giannis from Marias Flower Weddings in Santorini, Mario Restaurant Catering for the elegant ghost chairs and round tables, Lydia from Spark Event Rentals for the custom-made tablecloths, Santorini Idea Candles for the lovely candles. They used various sizes of candles to create a magical wave-shaped setup, with the candlelight during the blue hour after sunset being simply breathtaking.
The Flowers
To mirror the Cycladic sea’s palette, blue delphinium flowers and tiny marguerite flowers were incorporated, creating a natural yet luxurious table setting.
This blend of German and Greek influences is evident in their choice of vendors, seamlessly connecting German and local service providers to create truly unforgettable experiences. This shoot wasn’t just about design; it was a love letter to Cycladic Gem, a place where every moment feels like home.
