An Elegant Pier Wedding That Will Make You Want To Get Married In Cyprus

16.01.2018 , Real Weddings , 0 Comments

Weddings in Cyprus, between locals normally demand a church wedding, an excessive amount of guests and several other traditions that simply cannot be avoided with a religious wedding ceremony. This couple wanted to keep it simple. Celebrating their love meant sharing their special day with the closest family and friends and treating them to a feast for the eyes, the soul and the stomach as well of course.

The bride envisioned an outdoor, romantic wedding, next to the sea. Choosing the flowers and colour palette was something very personal and emotional for her. She wanted to feel a connection, and so she did when the Proteas flowers, were introduced; You see, her mother spent her entire childhood in South Africa, the home country of the Proteas flowers, which also represent hope and change.

Before the ceremony, friends and family gathered at the groom’s and bride’s houses to wish them well and pay their respects, something which is custom in Cyprus. The bride wore a stunning Adam Zohar wedding gown.

The ceremony took place at the Elias Beach Hotel in Limassol, at sunset. A musician friend played “I’m yours” by Jason Mraz, as the bride walked down the aisle. She says this was her favorite moment of the day and it was hard for her to keep happy tears from falling down. “It was always you” she said. The groom truly shined with joy. He promised to always love and cherish her, because she is worth it.

Intimate Winter Wedding

If you are thinking of a wedding in Cyprus, you are probably thinking of the sun, the sea and a summer vibe. This couple had something else on their minds. An intimate, dim-lit, indoor wedding, with views of the sea is exactly how they imagined their special day. It was the perfect celebration of their love. The bride, one of the sweetest, kindest human beings I have ever met, wanted it to be romantic, elegant with a simple touch. When the groom asked me to play the Glasgow Love Theme song from the movie Love Actually for their ceremony, I was ecstatic as it is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Love was all around on their wedding day. You could actually feel it in the air. Some of their closest friends and family traveled all the way from the US, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, just to be a part of the start to a wonderful journey together.

The Perfect Destination Wedding!

03.01.2017 , Real Weddings , 0 Comments

Any wedding that includes a pier, a great deal of flowers and the company of only a few loved ones, is a wedding that is bound to be a success! This lovely couple chose Limassol to say their “I do” and I think they couldn’t have made a better choice.

The wedding ceremony was intimate, romantic and very private. It was set on a stone-paved pier, surrounded by sea, while the sun was about to dive in. When I look back at their photos and how elegant everything was, it fits them perfectly. Their wedding dinner was pure joy, as the family sat down and took the time to honor the couple, share stories, play games and laugh.

A couple that truly motivates

Abir and Anthony are my kind of couple. I am going through the pictures of this wedding, thinking about what to write and I am instantly overwhelmed with the best feelings. I got such a positive energy from them. You can tell that they love each other just by meeting them for 5 minutes.

Close friends and family flew from Lebanon to witness their love for each other. They came with the best mood, ready to party and cheer the couple. The setting was like the bride wanted it: a beautiful outdoor setting by the beach decorated with flowers in the shades of pink and purple.

Something Blue…

For all the brides looking for the perfect destination wedding, I am going to go ahead and add Limassol to your list. Just think of the blue sea, the sandy beach, the sun and the light breeze. Don’t you think it is the perfect backdrop to say “I do”?

This couple took their destination wedding, sprinkled in a whole lot of romance and covered it in a blue hue. They decided there was no place better to get married than in Limassol, at the Amathus Beach Hotel.

What can be more romantic than a wedding ceremony in the gardens of a luxurious hotel overlooking the Mediterranean sea, under an arch of hydrangeas and roses. Classical music was playing over the murmur of waves, while the couple celebrated their love for each other.

For the dinner party, the couple chose the newly renovated ballroom with a panoramic view of the sea. The table setting was well thought-out and embraced blue specially-made napkins, glass charger plates, crystal glasses, blue and white floral arrangements, mirrors and candles. As a keepsake of the marvelous event, an animal-themed espresso cup was gifted to each guest to remember this special day. After having a bite from the eccentric animal themed wedding cake and once the music started, everyone gathered around the dance floor and partied until the early hours.
