Who needs a veil when you can have an amazingly chic feather crown? Inspired by the couple’s personal affinity for black and white patterns, this wedding is full of the most stunning textures! Alida and Arturs were devoted to including handmade elements in every facet of this chic DIY wedding, such as the perfectly styled vignettes and the 1,000 origami paper cranes Alida folded. To the delight of their closest friends and family, the stylish newlyweds rode away from their Persian rug-lined ceremony in a retro Mini Cooper. Liene Petersone Photography captured every romantic second of this wedding, from the moment the bride secured her feather crown to the emotional balloon release at the end of the reception.

The Couple:

Alida and Arturs

The Wedding:

Anna’s Garden, Riga, Latvia

The most important detail to us was to have a party with friends and our closest relatives. We really wanted just to drink ’til the suns goes up and spend time with our friends.

Classic Crete, Greece Wedding at Agreco Farm

June 7, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Stylish-Greek-Village-Wedding-at-Agreco-Farm-Elias-Kordelakos-6

When a Polish bride marries an Iranian groom in a village in Greece, the result is nothing short of magical. Marta and Sal said “I do” at Agreco Farm, where they balanced traditional wedding customs with a breezy, laid-back attitude true to the Grecian atmosphere. Marta looked stunning in her Sophia Tolli lace gown, with her cropped blonde hair pinned back with a delicate birdcage veil. Elias Kordelakos‘ photographs of the day didn’t disappoint, leaving the newlyweds with too many favorites to choose from as they reminisce on their wedding for years to come.

The Couple:

Marta and Sal

The Wedding:

Agreco Farm, Crete, Greece

Sal is Iranian and Marta is Polish, so our day was a combination of both.

Sal is a photographer, so photos were his top priority. He interviewed many photographers until he was confident of his decision. We couldn’t be happier with the work Elias Kordelakos did. Professional from beginning to end. Our guests loved him, and final product speaks for itself!
