In one word, Shelley and Vassilios’s summer destination wedding at Ktima Ivelia could only be described as «fairytale», a venue where a lush, beautifully curated garden meets the charming chapel of Saint Constantine and Helen, creating the perfect backdrop for the most special day of their lives. Their story, which began as colleagues in the Netherlands and led to a romantic proposal atop a mountain in Hong Kong, brings a truly unique character to their celebration, reflected so elegantly through the stunning design and planning by Sparkling Day. Guests were welcomed by a flower-filled arch of white roses and abundant greenery, while the bride’s bouquet of roses, hydrangeas, baby’s breath and eucalyptus tied everything together with effortless harmony. At the reception, low floral arrangements in soft white tones with touches of eucalyptus paired with delicate favor boxes wrapped in pale green satin ribbons created an atmosphere full of romance, while the glowing “Just Married” sign added a festive sparkle to the evening. Food and Style delighted everyone with its refined menu, and the exceptional captures by Stelios Tsikas Photography preserved each precious moment in the most beautiful way. Love4Weddings served as a source of inspiration for the bride, helping her bring to life a wedding that truly reflected their style, and as she shares, «The advice I would give to a bride who is now planning her wedding is to enjoy every single moment of planning the wedding, even the stressful ones. Stay positive because getting married is one of the most beautiful and happiest events of your life». A day filled with heartfelt moments and radiant smiles that we cannot wait for you to experience through every image!
