Summer Wedding in Athens with Romantic Details | Victoria & George

By Eleni Balkouli @Love4Wed

The summer wedding of Giorgos and Victoria at the beautiful Ktima Nefeles was a romantic celebration of love, filled with warmth, elegance, and timeless beauty. Viktoria captivated everyone with her stunning bridal look, wearing a breathtaking gown by Eleni Kollarou — a luxurious design featuring a satin skirt and intricate French lace, perfectly reflecting her refined sense of style. As the bride shared with us: «I found so much inspiration from the real weddings featured on the Greek site Love4Weddings, and they really helped me shape the vision for my own! Even when you have a style in mind, seeing it brought to life through other weddings is so helpful. I had read all the articles about wedding dress designer Eleni Kollarou and after hearing how thrilled a friend of mine was with her experience, I knew from our very first meeting that I wanted her to create my gown. She even made my mother’s dress — exactly how she had dreamed it!» The couple’s special day unfolded under the golden summer sun, surrounded by lush gardens and an atmosphere filled with pure happiness. Every detail — from the emotional ceremony to the elegant reception — was crafted with love, creating memories that will last a lifetime!

«We met at a mutual friend’s wedding in 2021, and two years later, we tied the knot at the exact same venue! We wanted to relive that same excitement and joy from the very beginning, in the very same place. It felt meant to be! The proposal happened in August 2022 at the Chapel of the Seven Martyrs in Sifnos, just before sunset — it was magical!»

«We wanted something classic, beautiful, and relatively simple. Our floral arrangements were designed by Mr. Lefteris from Studio Vivaldi in Chalandri — a place our family has trusted for years for all our special occasions. He created stunning compositions with white flowers like large roses, hydrangeas, peonies, and lisianthus, complemented with eucalyptus. My bouquet, with a slightly boho feel, was made with white peonies — my favorite flower — and eucalyptus! I especially loved the pop of blue hydrangeas in the church decor — a last-minute idea from Mr. Lefteris, who surprised me by sourcing those beautiful blooms on the very day of the wedding!»

The wedding dress was exactly how I had dreamed it, thanks to the detailed guidance of wedding dress designer Eleni Kollarou, who made sure it flattered my figure and was comfortable too!

«I wanted something airy and light so I could dance all night without needing a second dress! We chose delicate French Chantilly lace with a soft texture and a tiny floral pattern. The dress featured a low back that dipped to the waist and a square neckline at the front. It had a satin underlayer that peeked through as I walked, and the skirt ended in a soft, flowing train…»

«Our entrance into the reception, just before dinner and the party began, was hands-down my favorite moment! We managed to relax for 5–10 minutes right before, and then we said, “Let’s go dance!” We walked in to Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” and immediately set the tone for the night! Another unforgettable moment was my dance with my brother to “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers — such a touching and beautiful surprise!»

«My advice to any bride-to-be is to stay relaxed! There’s no need to stress. As long as you trust the experts you’ve chosen to work with, the stress naturally fades. This day passes so quickly — it’s important to experience it exactly as you’ve dreamed it!»
