Fun autumn wedding in Crete’s historic chapel Rebecca & Philip
In a serene corner of Crete, Rebecca and Philip, a couple from England, exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at a historic chapel, surrounded by close family and their three beautiful daughters. The early October day was still warm, with a lingering heat that felt like the last embrace of summer, but the light had softened, hinting at the arrival of autumn. It was a celebration that perfectly captured the essence of the season—warm, inviting, and deeply personal.
With a backdrop of rich, earthy tones, the chapel was adorned with artful arrangements evoking the rustic beauty of the season. Each detail was carefully curated to reflect autumn’s charm, from the natural florals to the elegant décor, creating an autumnal dreamscape.
Rebecca and Philip, known for their youthful energy and effortless style, embodied a chic, relaxed elegance throughout the day. Rebecca’s gown, with its flowing silhouette and delicate lace, moved gracefully as she was escorted down the aisle by her father toward Philip. Adding a playful twist, she wore white Converse sneakers, personalized with the couple’s initials and wedding date—a touch that perfectly captured her spirited personality.
In a heartfelt nod to their bond, Rebecca’s father wore a tie with a hidden, sentimental detail: a picture of Rebecca as a little girl, sewn into the fabric. It was a tender gesture that spoke to the deep love and pride he felt on this special day.
A Cretan grasshopper made an unexpected appearance during the ceremony. In local folklore, this graceful visitor is a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and a reminder to take leaps of faith. Its presence felt like a quiet, poetic affirmation of the couple’s journey, promising a future of joy, adventure, and enduring love.
As the sun dipped below the Cretan hills, the golden hour cast a magical glow across the scene, illuminating Rebecca’s radiant ginger hair and highlighting her natural beauty. It was a moment that felt almost ethereal, as if the light itself was offering a blessing to the couple, sealing their union with warmth and light as they embarked on a new chapter together.
