Lovely Lefkada island wedding – Max & Georgia

21/10/201704/05/2020

The neoclassical masion that is home to the Municipal Library was the historic backdrop for the Lefkada island wedding of Max & Georgia, captured by destination photographer, Lefteris Kalampokas.

Their destination wedding dream was not the typical beach wedding you may be used to. They wanted their family and friends to really experience the island and have their wedding ceremony in a special, historically important location.

From the bride: “Max and I have been together for twelve years, childhood sweethearts. I always thought we would have a huge white wedding extravaganza, but after we finished two years traveling in Australia our little boy came along and like every mother, my priorities changed and so did my dreams. Time passed so quickly and before we knew it, we had our first family holiday abroad. A little Greek island we stumbled across online. We instantly felt at home in Lefkas when we arrived. The locals were so welcoming and family friendly! They couldn’t help enough, even holding Archer whilst we ate our meals.

My newfound dream became a little hidden gem in the Ionian islands; bursting with culture, beautiful scenery, fresh salty air and the warmth of the sun. We knew instantly that this is where we wanted to finally say our vows to each other. It wasn’t debatable…it was a yes!

It took us a while to find someone to help us planning from a different country but thankfully, we were recommended Claire at Lefkas Weddings. The whole journey was exciting, fun, organised and surprisingly calm. We knew that we wanted a venue with history rather than a beach wedding and Claire sent us numerous ideas. Nothing felt quite right, then she mentioned her favourite building was the Library building and it had a large garden that could be perfect for us. We saw the pictures and we truly felt this is ‘The One’, it had everything we were looking for. It was a tense wait whilst she applied for permission, as the garden had not be used previously for a ceremony and we were so excited when we received the yes to go ahead! “

Max & Georgia chose to combine their civil ceremony with a marriage blessing by Holy Trinity Church. This is personal ceremony which can be tailored by the Chaplain with hymns and readings to suit your wishes.

Following a champagne toast in the gardens, the guests strolled back through Lefkada old town. At the port, the captain and crew of the Ionian Star waited to welcome everyone on board for a wedding cruise down the Lefkada coastline to the reception venue. Their unique day ended with beautiful sunset and party under the stars late into the night!

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!

ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ᴍᴇɢᴀɴɪsɪ?
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.
