Cretan Village Wedding With Pomegranate Theme Camilla & Adam

pomegranate garland at rustic estate wedding in Crete

At the yard of a private estate stylized as Cretan village, Camilla and Adam exchanged their wedding vows in front of their closest friends and family members.

Couple used pomegranates as their wedding theme which could not be a better choice to bring luck for their married life from now on.

Pomegranates symbolize fertility, abundance and marriage in the Mediterranean culture.

Camilla and Adam could not have chosen better to embrace this part of Greek cultural symbol than having their wedding at the beginning of warm early autumn on the island of Crete.

After a long journey and years of separate paths after their prom together, Samantha and Stefan finally found each other at this right and final school reunion when they decided never let go. ❤️ They traveled all the way from USA to make their dream of an intimate elopement come true on the beautiful shores of Crete. 🏝️

As Cretan music played softly in the background, they shared a special moment cutting the handmade, artfully decorated gamokoulouro — a traditional Greek wedding bread symbolizing unity and prosperity. 🍞🎶

And just when we thought the day couldn’t be more memorable, a man walked by after the ceremony with two black dogs at his side… or so we thought! At second glance, we realized it was a dog and a sheep! 🐕🐑 This unexpected twist brought laughter and surprise to the occasion, making the day even more unforgettable. 😄💫

The Hellenic inspired day ended for our couple at the local fish tavern at one of the most historical and charming locations for the romantic dinner.

I remember calling Katie 2 hours before the ceremony telling her we need to change the location as it has been raining cats and dogs! I got as answer a happy Ok, I trust you😍

One of the reasons to have a local planner that can put together plan B and pull the strings of local connections that come with many years of business friendships!

So although Katie and Josh’s elopement day started with a rainstorm, it turned into a beautiful, cozy celebration in the most unexpected setting — a charming winery surrounded by barrels🍷🌧️

What began as a rainy morning blossomed into a perfect, intimate day filled with wine and love. 🎶🤘 The beat of their favorite rock tunes echoed through the winery as Katie and Josh eloped, infusing their special day with fun and vibrant energy. 🎸✨

When the day cleared out, we were still able to return to the initially chosen impressive stone Amphitheater for family and romantic portraits. The moments were restored!

Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that need to be rewritten!

Do you believe in signs?
Here at Crete for Love, we certainly do! During Rebecca and Philip’s ceremony, a Cretan grasshopper gracefully landed on their table as they exchanged vows. In local folklore, the appearance of a grasshopper during a ceremony is believed to bring good fortune.
This visitor symbolizes the couple’s commitment to taking risks, welcoming change, and inviting prosperity into their lives. Whether viewed as lucky omens or symbols of growth, grasshoppers enrich the cultural traditions surrounding love and marriage.
