AEGEAN BLUE for ultimate Mediterranean wedding
Aegean blue paired with pops of Cretan orange creates a table design that feels both soulful and striking. This color story captures the essence of the Mediterranean—deep, calming blues balanced by warm, sun-kissed citrus tones that bring energy and life to the table.
Set on pure white, the palette truly shines. The white becomes a canvas, allowing each element to stand out effortlessly, while lush island greenery adds texture and a sense of abundance. This Mediterranean art de la table feels relaxed yet refined, rooted in tradition but styled with intention—an invitation to gather, linger, and celebrate surrounded by the natural beauty of Crete.

A wedding is the result of true TEAMWORK.
When every vendor is focused, present, and passionate—while still enjoying the process—the magic really happens. It’s that balance between professionalism and joy that keeps the energy flowing smoothly throughout the day.
Each creative brings their own vision, experience, and artistic voice. When those independent spirits work in harmony, their efforts blend into something vivid and cohesive. The beauty of a wedding isn’t just in the details, but in how all those details come together as one unified story. When collaboration is built on trust, respect, and a shared goal, the final result feels effortless, alive, and unforgettable.

STUBBORNLY TIMELESS WITH NEW TRENDS
Chartreuse and violet are emerging as a standout color trend for 2026—and it’s one we truly love. Bold yet refined, this unexpected pairing brings a fresh sense of vivacity while remaining effortlessly elegant. Together, they strike a rare balance: expressive without being overpowering, modern while staying deeply timeless.
Set against the raw beauty of Crete’s natural environment—olive groves, stone textures, golden light, and the endless blue—chartreuse and violet feel perfectly at home. They enhance the landscape rather than compete with it, adding depth, contrast, and a sophisticated pop of color. Classy, vibrant, and confidently enduring, this palette is for couples who want their wedding to feel alive, intentional, and beautifully unforgettable.

One the most heart touching celebrations we are honoured to organise and participate in.
Thank you @jblechman, thank you @etzhayyimchania .

A small villa wedding for a beautiful couple all the way from Australia — intimate, sun-kissed, and filled with the people who matter most. 🌿✨
The olive-themed details blended perfectly with the villa’s charm, creating a soft, romantic atmosphere that felt like a world of its own.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds hopped into a vintage car for a dreamy beach drive, the ocean breeze carrying laughter and joy into the afternoon. And as the sun set, heart-spoken speeches filled the evening with stories, gratitude, and emotions that will be remembered forever.
A celebration that was simple, soulful, and unforgettable — just as love should be. 🤍

Exactly a year ago we hosted an intimate wedding for an American couple and their families, here in Chania ready to welcome the most joyful time of the year, Christmas celebration🎄
I was surprised and overwhelmed preparing plan A, B, C, D… ready for rain, winds, partial sunny, partial cloudy, give it a name of any weather condition!
Till the day arrived and I met my couple a few days before the wedding ceremony, I think I didn’t really believe things would be so majestic and one of a kind.
I didn’t miss to interview them: why Crete in winter while most couples seek their destination wedding during hot island summer months?
It turned out they had done their research: Crete is a silent but fully operating island during winter months, it provides the best food flavors, beaches are empty and uniquely welcoming, it feels authentic and truly local.
And since then, I keep standing as an Ambassador of Crete and Chania during off season months where our heart pulses slow down, we focus on essence not effect and provide the best level of hospitality we feel not work around!
Beach wedding can feel exotic and reception at Chania Old Town will create the experience and feelings finding yourself a new home.
May we never divide events by year but by four island seasons!
Here is to winter one!

MAGIC!
Every couple has their dream so seeing those images fulfills my ❤️
Yes, there was a good food, lovely flowers, lit candles and all the wedding entourage they wished for, but Josh and Beth had this special wish topping their list.
When we first talked, Beth shared some inspiration photos, we discussed their priorities, worked around proper timelines to make sure we accommodate those magic moments.
And so they left their guests to drive this vintage beauty to the lonely sandy beach! Only 2 of them (and the photographer 😁)
Breathtaking and high fashion out of a simple day.
James Bond would be jealous 🤭
