We love a styled shoot with a bold POP of color! This Greek-inspired beach wedding has the prettiest hot pink bougainvillea flowers styled all throughout. You have to see the brides bouquet which is BURSTING with pink and purple florals. The floral theme combined with the soft pale stone and neutral color palette brings all of the design elements together for an unforgettable beach styled shoot.

Known for their colourful hue, the vibrant bougainvillea blossoms are a unique flower choice for any couple who wants to add native florals to their destination wedding. The Greek island villages are filled with these pretty petals with their incredibly bright colours, and long branches crowded with fluttery blooms that create interesting and unstructured shapes.

Mixed with the soft, pale coloured, local stone used in the buildings of the Ionian Islands it provides a wonderful opportunity to use these flowers as a colourful backdrop for your portraits! The dinner table was filled with glass and neutral fabrics so the natural colour of the flowers and greenery spoke for themselves.

Gold foil translucent menus with a hexagon motif, a shape used again for the perspex place names. Each guest received a white, ceramic swallow bird as the 'helidona' arrives in the Greek islands in the spring along with the bright bougainvillea flowers and means prosperity and happiness.

In gorgeous shades ranging from blush to magenta and fuchsia, the statement rose and bougainvillea bouquet overflowed with blooms creating an asymmetrical shape and can be carried with a traditional hold or draped over one arm. Down on the sand, the neutral ceremony decor let the bride and her bouquet become centre stage in the evening sunlight.

Two-piece wedding dresses and bridal separates have had a stylish revamp, making them a seriously cool option for modern brides looking for a twist on tradition. We can't envision a more romantic choice for a seaside wedding than this two-piece set. Our full romantic skirt was paired with a bridal bodysuit for laid-back sexy meets traditional feel and the second option of a soft and silky, camisole is the perfect pairing with the skirt for a timeless, lighter-than-air look.

We completed the look with a classic ponytail and hammered gold earrings and cuff. A low ponytail just might be one of our favourite beach wedding hairstyles. It shows off your gorgeous hair and offers total security, so you’ll feel effortlessly beautiful walking hand in hand with your beloved on the sand and later dancing the night away at your beachside reception.
