Harriet & Tristram loved our suggestion of beautiful Villa Kira for their wedding ceremony in Parga. The terrace and gardens overlook Valtos Beach and the modern villa design coupled with the surrounding olive trees blended harmoniously with their choice of pastel florals.

Harriet wore a lace Madi Lane Bridal wedding dress with wings that draped elegantly from her shoulders. The groom and groomsmen chose lightweight summer tailoring in stone, with brown leather accessories and each finishing the look with a Panama hat.

The hand-tied bouquet was made with a variety of spring flowers in pastel shades of blue, pink, peach, mauve and ivory blended with the soft green of eucalyptus. Her bridesmaids wore sage green dresses accessorised with a delicate wrist corsage and a hand fan to keep elegantly cool in the warm sunshine.

Leaving the drinks reception with photographer Maxeen Kim, the couple took one of the traditional boats across to Panagia island. This iconic church in Parga harbour is utterly charming and our couple explored hand in hand, taking in the view of Parga old town and relishing this private time to enjoy being newlyweds alone after their wonderful wedding ceremony at Villa Kira They rejoined the guests at the reception venue on Valtos beach, for dinner and dancing under the star-filled sky to their live band.

Wedding at MED Parga with Panoramic View

In May we created a dream Greek wedding day for British couple Alex and Joanna at MED Parga with a panoramic backdrop of the Venetian castle and Valtos beach. The location was close to both their hearts as Alex’s father was born there and he and his sister had spent many family holidays in this authentic Greek town on Greece’s Epirus coast. Based in the events industry himself in London, Alex knew he could do the basics but need the finishing touches of our expertise and local knowledge to have the perfectly planned and stress-free day they wanted. My team included the award-winning photographer Maxeen Kim Duncan who captured both their engagement shoot and wedding day in beautiful Parga.

Bride, Joanna had a relaxing morning with her girls getting ready at Apolis Villas, Parga and the warm stone and olive tree filled grounds were the location for an emotional First Look for the couple. Her bridesmaids wore flute sleeve dresses with green embroidery. Bouquets of soft pastels and pampas were carried by the bride and the bridesmaids.

The couple told us their dream would be to have both their ceremony and reception at MED Parga but as the venue had never hosted a ceremony previously they were unsure how to achieve this. We love a logistical challenge and given the opportunity to have a ceremony with that amazing view, my team made it happen with some careful measuring and preparations. The ceremony included elements that reflected both their cultural heritages and ended with a traditional rice throw by the Greek family!

The cocktail hour took place on the balcony overlooking Valtos beach with refreshing summer cocktails and Greek-inspired canapes. A wedding at MED Parga offers you an unforgettable Mediterranean vibe with delicious modern Greek cuisine and those views your guests will talk about for a long time afterwards!

The wedding theme was green and blue reminiscent of the colours of the Ionian Sea. The tables were laid with garlands of eucalyptus and willow with touches of olive on the napkins. Gold accent details were added with candlesticks and the pretty table stationery which finished the design of this elegant wedding reception. Alex and Joanna started the evening party by dancing the Hasapiko, a traditional Greek dance which they had learnt as a surprise for the guests before being joined by all the guests for a music-filled evening as they danced the night away.

Lilac & Pink Cactus Wedding Inspiration in Parga

Cape North West is located on the sandy beach at Valtos with the Venetian castle as a back drop and the sun setting over Paxos island in the distance.

For your destination wedding in Parga, Cape North West is the perfect venue for a small, intimate celebration of barefoot luxury or a bigger celebration with all your family and friends. The relaxed atmosphere with stylish, white, minimalist decoration offers you a wonderful blank canvas to work with. The ideal starting point from which my team and I will create your wedding theme and styling.

I came up with the concept for this styled shoot with photographer, Maxeen of Maxeen Kim Photography, who mentioned she wanted to design a table setting based around her love of cacti and succulents.

We infused romance into the décor of this chic beach club with a lilac, pink and green theme, in keeping with the current trend of potted cactus wedding centrepieces. Succulents and cacti are a great option for your wedding décor because they last long after the wedding and each of your guests can take a cute mini cacti home with them as a keepsake.

The table featured natural décor elements that we chose to fit with the beautiful beach location such as hand painted terracotta pots and ecru weave table-mats. To highlight the extra special feel of the occasion we added little extra touches with pink glassware and dove-grey wedding stationery.

If you are considering your own luxury destination wedding in Parga and looking for a planner who can bring your elegant vision to life send me an email here with all the details of your day. I would love to help bring your wedding dreams to life.

Thank you to my wonderful team of suppliers who helped bring this vision to life.

Coral Villa Rossa Wedding in Parga – Georgina & Alex

Alex and Georgina have always holidayed in Greece and love the culture. Parga on the stunning Epirus coast is a hidden gem and ticks every box for the setting, traditional charm and hustle and bustle they love. They fell in love with the colourful town after visiting it together and it became the natural choice for their perfect wedding destination. 

Listening to the couple’s requirements we suggested the striking Villa Rossa, a beautiful red building, set amongst the pine trees on the tip of Parga sea front. One of the oldest buildings in the area it has had a rich past in many guises and continually owned by the same family who have now lovingly turned it into a boutique guest house and restaurant.

“The food and staff were outstanding. As we looked out to sea from our table and up to the castle on the hill we knew it was a special place to host our wedding dinner.” Bride, Georgina

The styling of the wedding had Greek inspired touches with both the bride and bridesmaids carrying hand tied bouquets of peonies and olive. The couple exchanged vows at an intimate and romantic spot lined with hanging lanterns dressed with clusters of flowers.

Stella York gowns are known for their spectacular beading, glamorous laces and enchanting fabrics and Georgina’s fitted gown did not disappoint and suited her perfectly. She chose a sage green dress with a beaded neckline for her five bridesmaids; a colour which cleverly complimented each girl’s different colouring yet beautifully blended them together.

Alex and his groomsmen kept their cool in English heritage tailoring and bow ties for a formal touch.

The restaurant we filled with yet more peonies in mixed vases with gypsophila and olive on the table and gorgeous little bunches on the chairs. Each guest’s place was marked by a hand tied rosemary garland with their name tag.

Villa Rossa served a dinner full of delicious modern Greek dishes using locally sourced ingredients such as Black pork with matured Feta and Corfu beer sauce. Dessert was a runaway hit of baklava with ice cream shot that left us all wanting more!

All that was left to do was enjoy the first dance, romantically lit by a backdrop of guests holding sparklers aloft for the newlyweds, and dance the night away by the edge of the sea.

Truly a wedding from Parga with love…
