Romantic destination summer wedding in Crete with white florals | Stephanie & Fraser

Stephanies and Fraser’s wedding is everything we dream of when we think of a summer wedding in Crete! The lovely couple chose white flowers for their big day and Enkipo Wedding brought their vision into life with a gorgeous floral arch at the ceremony while their wedding reception at Agreco Farm had minimal chic details with a rustic flair. Their wedding was truly memorable to all and as Stephanie mentioned: «It was a week together full of laughs, love, and thousands of memories. My favorite weddings moments were walking down the aisle and seeing my new husband, the amazing food and dancing the night away on the dance floor!»

«We met in 2019 whilst backpacking through Southeast Asia at a hostel in Cambodia. We were both on solo trips and met at the latter end of our travels. We spent four days together and fell in love. We had a long-distance relationship for six months (England & Australia), before Fraser moved to Australia where we have lived since. We have now been together for nearly 5 years and still travel as much as possible! Fraser proposed to me at home. We were sitting on the couch one evening and he passed me a box. I opened it, saw the ring, and kept saying over and over “Is this real!?”. I was in complete shock. We then spent the weekend in the Yarra Valley wine region in Victoria, Australia celebrating, drinking amazing wine and having beautiful tasting menus. It was perfect. His original plan was to propose at a winery that weekend, however, the weather forecast was expecting lots of rain. He said he couldn’t wait so proposed the night before at home. », the bride shared with us.

«We had a destination wedding, which was so much fun! Our venue was absolutely beautiful, truly what dreams are made of! All the food and wine were farm to table and the service was immaculate. The venue is rustic and full of character with amazing views over the vineyards.»

Our floral decorations were romantic and classic. We had white florals only, white rose bouquets, bud vases with a variety of white florals, rose petals down the aisle and a floral feature above us at the ceremony.

«The table setting decorations included white florals, a white table runner down the center, candles, a white/gold macaroon, and personalized guest menus. We also wrote handwritten cards to each guest which they loved. Our cake was a two-tier butter cream cake decorated with roses. We included our dog, Harvey, by having a personalized cocktail bar sign made containing his illustration. During cocktail hour we had signature cocktails served. »

«Fraser’s family live in England and my family live in Australia. The week we got married was the first time our friends and family got to meet in person. It was so special to us to have everyone together. We had a destination wedding in Crete, Greece…»

The bride’s advice: «Research your vendors, having amazing vendors are key, they will make your day run so smoothly, organize a late night snack for your guests, we had chicken gyros, they were amazing, have a range of songs for all ages to ensure everyone will get up on the dance floor.»

Take a few moments to be alone with your partner on the night – soak it all in together and don’t feel inclined to invite everyone you know, keep it small and intimate.

«I wore Harry by Made with Love Bridal. My dress had a plunging, draped back, statement detachable train and figure-hugging silhouette. As the train was detachable, I was able to have two looks, a train for walking down the aisle and it removed during cocktail hour / dinner. My dress was made from French crepe. My second dress for the reception was a white strapless mini dress with a big bow and train. It was perfect to change into in the evening to wear on the dance floor. »
