How to Have a Destination Wedding
Inspiration
Whether you’re a fan of Mamma Mia or not, this stunning private villa wedding in Paros will have you singing all day long. Irene & Eamonn invited 10 of their friends and family to Greece for an intimate elopement at, The. Most. Perfect white Grecian chapel we have ever seen. Follow this with an al fresco dinner at a private villa overlooking stunning views and a gorgeous white floral tablescape, and you have the destination wedding of dreams.
Intimate elopement at private villa wedding in Paros, Greece
Go for it and enjoy every second! Don’t overthink too much. Leave the day in the hands of your coordinator and have the destination wedding of dreams.
Private Villa Wedding
Irene & Eamonn described their private villa wedding as a dream, and said it was so well-balanced. They personalised it with colours they love, including blush, white and green tones - so classic! Who needs colours when you have the stunning blue Grecian sky as a backdrop?! For their al fresco dinner, their guests all sat on one table overlooking the Grecian hills and an inviting-looking swimming pool (anyone fancy a dip?). The tablescape featured blush-tapered candles with white berries, Italian ranunculus and eucalyptus floral decor, and each place setting had a single fig to match the simple white iced wedding cake topped with figs.
Romantic Style
Irene described the day as having a Romantic Style, but we think she must have been talking about herself. Her white satin dress from Love Honour Bridal featured a plunging neckline and puff sleeves. It screams classic romance. She paired her dress with some killer accessories too. Including a gold leaf bridal crown, pearl earrings and royal blue Manolo Blahnik heels that we are seriously lusting after. Irene's stunning wedding dress was the first gown she saw - talk about meant to be! Eamonn also rocked a green groom suit and orange tie. He looked fabulous against all the neutral colours of the day.
Irene’s gold leaf crown and royal blue Manolo Blahnik heels are a bridal fashion match made in heaven
One of my favourite moments was when my dad walked me to the church. We were both giggling because he kept singing Happy Birthday instead of the wedding nuptials song. I guess he was nervous!

From ‘Super Trouper’ style to the gorgeous reception views, this wedding leaves us singing ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' a destination wedding in Greece. Apologies, we obviously had to get some Abba/Mamma Mia puns in here somewhere... It is a Greek wedding, after all!
