Villa wedding at The View Lefkada

09/08/202324/09/2023

Looking for a private setting with an unbelievable panoramic view for your celebration? Katrina and Rich’s May wedding at The View Lefkada was the perfect start to our summer and is firmly now one of our favourite villa weddings on Lefkada island. Our British couple fell in love with the views from this East Coast villa online and booked it immediately for their intimate micro wedding in May. They reached out to us for help and guidance in bringing their dream to life and we happily accepted!

The villa has been thoughtfully furnished by its owners with Italian furniture and design details. The details of the villa such as the wooden door in the garden, hand-made from fastenings from an old monastery and the tiled table top using blue pattern tiles from an Italian castle were all featured in the photography of their day by Maxeen Kim Photography.

The couple exchanged vows in the villa garden, with all the guests amazed by the view. Following the traditional walk down the aisle at the end of the ceremony to Elvis ‘Can’t help falling in love’ the couple continued into a dance together enjoying the just married mood, to the delight of their parents and guests, who stepped in to join them for this romantic moment.

Guests were entertained by Kosmas Pafitis with his violin and piano duo playing modern covers as the cocktails were shaken and refreshing Greek bubbles were poured in the May sunshine from our ‘Drunk in love’ pop-up bar.

In keeping with the garden wedding setting, the couple decided on white and green flowers as decoration. To add a modern touch to this timeless wedding palette we suggested adding a pop of soft yellow Craspedia. These three colours are nature’s spring palette when the green hillsides and olive groves of Lefkada are covered with carpets of white daisies. The tables had pedestal vases filled with arrangements of roses, lisianthus, ruscus and eucalyptus paired with yellow napkins and mercury glass candles.

For a relaxed evening affair, our private catering partners set up a grazing table with a variety of Greek and Mediterranean tastes. The evening continued with a party and cocktail bar as the guests danced the night away under the star-filled sky to live music by our guitarist Sakis.

Lefkada villa wedding with romantic olive grove ceremony – Ollie & Rebecca

03/12/202205/08/2023

Ollie and Rebecca chose a private villa estate with its own olive grove and chapel as the backdrop to their special day. The British couple invited guests from London, Greece and the USA to celebrate with them at their September wedding in Lefkada.

Rebecca wore a gown from Halo and Wren Bridal with an art deco lace pattern and chose wings rather than a classic veil. Her bridesmaids wore champagne-coloured midi dresses with a classic chignon hairstyle. Bouquets of soft pastels and pampas were carried by the bride and the bridesmaids.

Their wedding ceremony was in front of the little chapel, set in the olive grove of this Lefkada villa with arrangements of white flowers and pampas. Afterwards, the couple led the guests through the estate to the terrace of Villa Gaia to enjoy the panoramic views of the Greek coastline and the north of Lefkada island below. Guests were entertained by British musician Andy Lewis with his melodic cocktail hour vibes and celebrated with refreshing Greek bubbles from the Domaine Glinavos winery.

We lit a magical walkway of lanterns for the guests to follow the path to the dinner reception in the olive grove held under a canopy of garland lights. The tables had arrangments of pastel flowers and pampas and flickering glass candles. Ollie’s Greek relatives added some Opa! to the dinner period by spontaneously dancing to the Greek band in between courses. The evening continued with a party and cocktail bar as the guests danced the night away under the star-filled sky.

Akvile had a bespoke dress made in Lithuania which she accessorised with a birdcage veil. The groom wore a pale green suit with floral lining and a personalised embodied message. Their guests were all asked to wear shades of green to compliment the wedding colour theme.

Their chic villa wedding ceremony was by the swimming pool in front of a tumbling white bougainvillea and a backdrop of the olive-filled hillsides. The floral decor consisted of clouds of gypsophila with white roses in columns for the ceremony and in tall centrepieces on the tables.

Wedding at Villa Veneziano in Lefkada with pampas details – Sarah & Jay

27/08/202224/09/2023
Villa Veneziano wedding ceremony

We planned Sarah and Jay’s June wedding in Lefkada at Villa Veneziano in Lefkada, hosting the ceremony in the vaulted pool house and the reception on the garden lawn surrounded by the warm sienna-coloured walls and borders overflowing with fragrant rosemary.

Rich burgundy and pink florals decorated their day from Sarah’s stunning bouquet of peonies, roses, protea, eucalyptus and pampas grass to the ornate urns and statement pampas globe at the ceremony.

The British couple wanted to offer the guests a gourmet food and drink experience, so we arranged for them to have a pre-wedding wine tasting at de blanck wine and champagne in Nidri. They chose Greek estate wines for the dinner and Estate Tselopos Amalia Brut for the drinks reception accompanied by the sounds of a piano/violin duo. After dinner, the evening party kicked off with a surprise live version of ‘Mrs Robinson’ for the bride as recognition of her new surname. Lots of dancing followed and for those needing a sugar boost, we laid out a delicious selection of mini tarts from the Lemon patisserie.

Historic Wedding Venue Lefkada

08/01/202206/08/2023

Perhaps the only factor that can make a wedding venue in Lefkada even more impressive than one with great views or beach access, is if it has historical significance too!

Without-a-doubt, historical significance adds a deeper meaning to an already meaningful day, not to mention the impressive architecture and the feeling of nostalgia!

Lefkada library historic wedding venue

The beautiful capital of the island, Lefkada town, constitutes a characteristic architecture developed during the years of Venetian occupation. The architecture of Lefkada is different in the capital and the villages.

One of the most exquisite buildings of Lefkada old town is the Municipal Library. Tucked away in Plateia Markou this beautiful neoclassical building has an illustrious history. Built in the late 19th century as the residence of the Zoulinos family it later housed the National Bank, before being aquired by the Greek State and becoming the home of the library in 1953.

Max and Georgia chose a marriage blessing alongside their civil ceremony and we arranged this with the very genial Rev Jules of Holy Trinity Church, Corfu. The blessing took place in the gardens of the historic library building and allowed them to have the significance they wanted for the wedding ceremony with a relaxed formality.

Looking for a historic Lefkada venue for your wedding preparations?
Why not treat yourself for your bridal preparation with a little luxury at one of the small boutique hotels in Lefkada’s beautifully restored old town. The historic Lefkada architecture and buildings will be woven into the backdrop of your photography as part of your wedding story.
Where to stay? I personally love the Rose Suite at The Aigli 1850 for a mansion house vibe and the Rock n Roll Suite at Secret Boutique Hotel for a contemporary feel. In Katouna village enjoy the vintage vibes at Pavezzo Country Retreat, a boutique hotel cleverly hidden in the old streets of the village.

If you are looking for a historic venue for your wedding day in the Greek islands, get in touch to find out more about Lefkada and how I can help you create the perfect day.

White and Green Wedding at Seaside Lefkada

06/06/202031/12/2021
confetti throw over bride and groom at seaside restaurant lefkada greece

Greece just got even more gorgeous with this intimate destination wedding at Seaside Restaurant in Lefkada with green and white flowers! The picturesque location was the perfect outdoor venue for a seafront ceremony and reception for British couple Mark and Lauren.

Delighted with their beautiful photographs by Maxeen Kim Photography, the couple were keen to chat about the wedding day so scroll down to find out more.

Why we chose a destination wedding in Greece

“We both love Greek food! Also, Lauren spent many family holidays in Greece and has lots of great memories of the different places she has visited with her family. We stumbled across Maxeen’s photography of Lefkada on Instagram and instantly fell in love with the scenery. The idea of getting married on a Greek island that wasn’t well known to ourselves or our family and friends felt like more of a unique choice.

We wanted it to be a relaxed day with lots of laughter as well as an opportunity to be on holiday surrounded by our family and friends, at one time in one place.

I found Lefkas Weddings via our photographer’s recommendation and I am so pleased we did! Claire is well organised, speaks the language and knows the area well. This means she can make recommendations and resolve any local problems that may occur. Claire not only helped with the day itself but also with the accommodation for ourselves and our guests, airport transfers as well as arranging our pre-wedding dinner during the holiday!”

The white and green wedding decor

To create Lauren’s vision of an elegant white and green wedding in Greece, we used olive and willow island greenery with a mix of seasonal white flowers. The bridal bouquet included white peonies, wax, lisianthus and was scented with eucalyptus.

The ceremony had an arch by the sea and a sweetheart table with a flower garland for our signatures.

The reception tables were filled with a delicate mix of flower-filled grey ceramic and glass vases and cut glass candlesticks. As the evening fell the venue was lit by flickering candlelight.

Finding the perfect venue

“We booked Seaside as our wedding venue two years in advance on the recommendation of our planner without visiting in advance. A few days before our wedding day we went for lunch and we’re all instantly blown away by the setting. When lunch arrived, we were even more impressed… beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Any doubts or worries we had about the day were gone and we were filled with excitement.

The day went so smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for more. Owner Kostas is certainly the host with the most! This place will forever be special in our hearts and we will certainly be back!”

Sɪxᴘᴇɴᴄᴇ Iɴ Hᴇʀ Sʜᴏᴇ In Great B Sɪxᴘᴇɴᴄᴇ Iɴ Hᴇʀ Sʜᴏᴇ
In Great Britain, the bride traditionally wears ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.’ But what is less well known is that the rhyme ends ‘and a silver sixpence in her shoe.’ 

For many years, the father of the bride would slip a sixpence into his daughter’s shoe before she walked down the aisle. The sixpence stood for good luck, and to show that the father wished his daughter prosperity in her marriage.

Oᴜʀ Tᴏᴘ Tɪᴘ
• Though traditional, a coin in your shoe is pretty uncomfortable so use a dot of eyelash glue to afix it to the bottom of your shoe. 
• It'll stay safe whilst you dance the night away and you've kept with the tradition! ♡

Roseanne's bouquet was a lush, natural mix of pretty pastel flowers and eucalyptus. 
We love adding flowers to every element of your big day, from the ceremony to the reception tables to the cake, but the bouquet is perhaps the most important. Why? Because your bouquet will have a prime spot in all of your beautiful bridal portraits, and, most importantly, it's what you will carry down the aisle to meet your partner.
