Georgie and Steve were together for six years before they decided to host this smokin’ destination wedding that we are currently drooling over. Keen to make their big day one to remember, these two sure didn’t hold back when it came to details. A baby blue speedboat, gown change, fireworks and a clifftop ceremony were just a few of the special touches scattered throughout. Our fave? The all-white colour scheme that extended from the bride tribe’s getting ready outfits (courtesy of Jasmine and Will) through to the bounty of florals, all set off by azure sea and sky. New-Zealand based lens-woman Charlotte Sowman was there to capture it all, so, do scroll down…
THE VENUE “We chose the venue for the ceremony because it was close to our hearts. We got engaged there and it was a family house. We did look at one venue in the UK, however, it wasn’t what we wanted and we discussed having it on the farm in New Zealand, but again, you only get married once, so why the heck not go somewhere exotic.”
FAVOURITE DETAILS “The flowers [Rizos Garden] blew me away. I have never seen such a spectacular amount of floral beauty in one place in real life before. The arch, where I walked out to start my walk down the aisle, was magical.”
LITTLE LOL “I lost my shoe walking down the aisle. There is a video of me saying ‘oh there’s Steve!’ I was so consumed in seeing all our family and friends there that I totally forgot to look up and see my soon to be husband!”
A WORD OF ADVICE “Make the day as special and stunning as you want because it will be one of the BEST days of your life. HAVE FUN WITH IT! If you want fireworks, bloody have the fireworks.”
WE WISH WE “We would do a ‘day after’ shindig if we did it again. We found that we just didn’t get enough time with people that had travelled from far and wide. It would have been lovely to have a follow-up day where we could debrief and see everyone.”
WE’RE GLAD WE ‘The idea in having our planner Lorraine [Corfu Wedding Planner] was to have everything done without the stress of being in New Zealand planning a wedding in Greece. It is a long way to travel back and forth to just check in on small details so we really wanted someone who we could leave all our trust and faith in and Lorraine was that person.”
STANDOUT VENDORS “Our saxophonist [Antony Lazos] was unreal! He really got the party going and our dance floor was filled the entire night. He was supposed to do just two songs but he loved the atmosphere so much that he stayed the entire night!”
