Personal memoirs and exciting announcements from Claire Salisbury, luxury wedding planner and owner of Lefkas Weddings

2019 – A New Year And A New Look

After a wonderfully busy 2018 wedding season in Lefkada, I have finally found the time to update my website, and I am so excited to get blogging and sharing Lefkas Weddings news and wedding planning tips with you.

One of the first things I am delighted to show you is my new logo. As my business has evolved over the last seven years I wanted something that reflected what I do now. What could be more apt to represent all your beautiful wedding stories than an homage to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. This ancient flower pattern is associated with her and is a symbol of creation, love, balance and equilibrium.

I started as a wedding planner for Lefkada and each year looked for ways to introduce elegant weddings to the other areas nearby that I have lived and are close to my heart too. These include the tiny paradise of Meganisi and the pretty Epirus coastline which includes Parga and Sivota. Recently I have organised beautiful events in Palairos, which is a new destination for me, and the surrounding islands of Kastos and Ithaca.

Although my blog will be mostly wedding themed, I want to add in some posts about the great areas I cover to inspire you for your wedding stay, honeymoon ideas and next visit to Greece.   Plus a few more personal and advice posts including behind the scenes, what I get up to throughout all the planning stages, from the first venue visits with clients right up to the wedding morning itself.

None of my work would be possible without the amazing team that is behind each and every wedding day, I work with some of the very best venues, caterers, photographers, videographers, stylists, florists and many more suppliers of pretty much any wedding related service you can imagine! I look forward to introducing you to some of them here and you’ll get to meet them on my Lefkas Weddings Instagram stories too!

And of course… sharing the prettiest pictures and details from the gorgeous weddings I get to plan.

Best wishes, Claire x

Let's talk about that view! From our villa terrace Let's talk about that view! From our villa terrace we had a panorama of three islands; Lefkada, Skorpios, Madouri and the Greek mainland. 

There are gorgeous views from every coast on Meganisi and @exclusivemeganisi has a superb selection of luxury villas for you and your guests.

We love peonies, big romantic ruffles, hues that We love peonies, big romantic ruffles, hues that range from the soft and pretty to the bold and seductive, add peonies to your floral arch or bouquet and you’ll instantly take it to the next level. 

A symbol of happiness and prosperity, peonies are many of my brides first choice of flower for their bouquet and Greek island wedding flowers.

Vathy is a picturesque village on Meganisi island. Vathy is a picturesque village on Meganisi island. Stroll around the promenade, taste the local delicacies at one of the many fish tavernas… Adapt yourself to the slow rhythm of the island!

Meganisi is a beautiful little island located between Lefkada and the west coast of the Greek mainland.  Meganisi island boasts an unspoiled beauty, so it is perfect for relaxing holidays! 

Keen to protect the island's charm, the Municipality has allowed tourism to touch the island carefully and accommodation is mainly found in luxury villas nestled amongst the olive tree hillsides. 

The island’s beaches are secluded and unspoilt. Some of them can be reached on foot while others can be accessed only by boat. For those seeking chilled vibes the island has two beach bars where you can while away the day on a comfortable sunbed with a cocktail and your book...

A lot of emphasis is placed on the bride’s perf A lot of emphasis is placed on the bride’s perfume, but let's talk about the groom today! Finding the perfect grooms fragrance will help to add to the atmosphere of your big day.

ᴀ ғᴇᴡ ᴛᴏᴘ ᴅᴇsᴛɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛɪᴘs 

• ᴡᴇᴀʀ ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴍᴇ sᴄᴇɴᴛ
It may sound unusual but there are some gorgeous unisex fragrances available, and by wearing the same scent you will enhance your sense of unity and avoid the possibility of clashes. #hisandhers
☆ Try Jo Malone - Calvin Klein - Tom Ford - D&G

• ᴄʜᴏᴏsᴇ sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ʟɪɢʜᴛ 
A light fresh fragrance will usually work better than something heavier or musky, especially in the warm Greek sunshine. A heavier scent can be too overpowering as there will be a variety of wedding day smells to clash with; notably the flowers! #scentsofsummer

• ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ɪᴛ ᴄʟᴀsɪᴄ
Try to avoid fragrence trends.If everyone is wearing the latest fragrance from a well known designer, you probably don’t want your groom to wear it on your wedding day. The chances are the best man or some of the male guests, will be wearing it too, which means you won’t automatically associate it with your new husband. Look for something classic that you will still love in twenty years ♡ #classicistimeless

• ᴄᴏᴏʀᴅɪɴᴀᴛᴇ ʜɪs ᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛs
Applying fragrance in layers will make it more enduring, so try to find the shower gel, aftershave balm, or cleansing lotion to match. If that isn’t possible make sure that he uses unscented products on the morning of the wedding so that his fragrance can take centre stage.
