A Greek themed wedding

Greece is an amazing country. Crystal clear water, endless sandy beaches, hills with numerous olive trees, and flavorful food increasingly beckon lovers from all over the world. It is impossible not to fall in love with Greece! It is not for nothing that more and more newlyweds want to organize a wedding in the Greek style.

Invitations

Invitations in the form of scrolls look very beautiful and unusual. They can be bought or ordered in a specialized store. As an option — to make your own hands. To do this, you will need artificially aged paper, a developed layout and design. The inscription is written manually or calligraphic text is used.

Color scheme

It fully corresponds to the landscapes of Greece. Shades of olive, turquoise, blue, white colors will be appropriate. To make the event look more majestic and expensive, it is worth using golden tones. Wedding in a warm color scheme will dilute the dresses of girlfriends of saturated colors — blue, turquoise, green.

Place of celebration

The ideal place for a Greek wedding is the seaside. If this is not possible, you can choose a place on the shore of a river or lake, near a fountain. It is worth asking whether there are restaurants in the city with Greek cuisine, statues of marble, colonnade.

Decoration

To create the atmosphere of Greece, it is recommended to use shells, garlands of natural materials, fresh flowers, branches of olive or laurel (they can be replaced with willow branches that grow in our latitudes). On the tables are large white tablecloths, glass candlesticks, seashells and other elements of the sea theme. Placed candles of different sizes will create an incredible atmosphere of romance at night.

The style of the bride

For many years, the land of olives has inspired designers who create gorgeous Greek-inspired wedding dresses. They are characterized by:

• Elevated waist.
• Crystal white color.
• Flattering silhouette.
• Flowing fabric.
• Corset or bodice on thin straps.
• A large amount of embroidery, gold and silver jewelry.

Azure embroidery, rhinestones of silver shade, olive threads, blue belt will make a bright accent on a white dress. The veil is not a mandatory element, but if you still want, it is better to opt for a short model. As an option, you can use a vintage wedding gown. Hairstyle laconic — wavy loose hair, light curls or a wide weave.

Music and entertainment

A Greek-style wedding will not be atmospheric and fun without musical accompaniment. Greeks love folk songs, dances, always have fun to the full. A big plus will be a theatrical performance.

An ensemble of musicians will escort the young to the place of the ceremony. As for entertainment, there is a great choice: Prometheus fire show, traditional sirtaki in a circle, finishing fireworks, which will leave unforgettable emotions. Contests for invited relatives and friends, created on the basis of the Olympic Games and feats of Hercules, will be interesting and exciting.

The style of the groom

A white suit looks very beautiful on a tanned body. You can dilute it with a bright boutonniere or a colorful tie. In order not to merge with the bride, you should opt for a classic black suit and lacquered shoes.

Dress code for guests

Invited friends and relatives should be warned in advance about the desired dress code and asked to adhere to the Greek style. To do this, it is enough to choose an outfit of blue, yellow, pistachio or white color with silver or golden embroidery. Obligatory are jewelry in the Greek style. In order not to merge against the background of the bride in a white dress, friends should wear bright dresses in the same tone.
