"We met at school when we were both 15 years old. After our studies, we traveled the world together for three years and shared many exciting experiences and adventures. We then bought a house and built a life together. As we both love the sea and the beach, Markus proposed to me on a secluded island in Thailand! Unforgettable! "

Planning a wedding abroad is challenging. How do you find the right vendors? Who can you contact? What do other weddings on the island of Crete look like? Which venues are beautiful? Chic and Stylish Weddings was particularly helpful in the initial planning phase, but we also kept finding inspiration as the planning progressed.

"Planning a wedding abroad is stressful and challenging. That's why it's very important to have someone you can rely on onsite. That was our wedding planner, NM Events..."

"We wanted a stylish and elegant wedding. The decorations should not distract with bright colors but create an elegant setting with white accents. The green branches should create a connection to the Mediterranean flair of the beautiful island of Crete. As our locations already provided an elegant backdrop, it was easy to enhance the scenery with white flowers. In the evening, romantic lighting was particularly important to us, which we achieved with fairy lights and candles."

"It is difficult to name the favorite moment of our wedding, but the most beautiful moment was definitely the emotional ceremony on the beach, and another highlight was the party in the evening with friends and family!"

Think about your guests when planning. They need to feel welcomed and cared for throughout the day, so that you, and this is very important on the day of the wedding, can think only of yourselves! Don't worry; your guests are taken care of, so enjoy the celebration with everyone!

"I went to the wedding dress selection with my mother and my two best friends and bridesmaids. Although I normally make my own decisions, in this case, their support and opinions were very important to me. They all voted unanimously for the first dress I tried on. The lace with the flowers and leaves reminded me of the island of Crete, where our wedding will take place; the wide tulle skirt with a train provides the wow factor, and the leg slit is modern and provides cool air in the heat on the beach. It was so beautiful!"
