Glamorous-Santorini-Wedding-at-the-Anastasi-Church-Thanasis-Kaiafas-26

Jadelin and Petro’s Santorini wedding is exactly the breath of fresh air you need this morning! The pair said “I do” in a traditional Greek ceremony at Anastasi Church. The beauty of Rocabella Hotel was only enhanced by a color palette of gold, fuchsia, white, and green designed by White Ribbon. Photographer Thanasis Kaiafas captured some of the most stunning bridal portraits we’ve ever seen as Jadelin climbed around the notable white structures of Santorini in a flowing white gown with gold accessories.

The Couple:

Jadelin and Petro

The Wedding:

Rocabella Hotel, Santorini, Greece

We loved getting married the traditional Greek way at the Anastasi Church in Santorini. Our priest was kind and approachable, he kept our wedding very light. It was a spiritual moment that felt light hearted. Also during the ceremony, standing in front of the priest, white sparkling dusts were falling off the ceiling onto us, it was a very magical moment. It felt like God had put his blessing on us.

Our colors were gold and fuchsia pink with white flowers and green leaves. Initially we wanted only gold with white flowers and green leaves, but since we were getting married in Santorini, we thought that we needed to add a pop of colour against the white backdrop.

I had two dresses. One for the ceremony and one for the reception. I wore gold accessories and shoes for both dresses. My ceremony dress was more traditional and my reception dress was more flowy goddess look for the Greek island.

French Quarter Garden Wedding at Hermann Grima House

February 1, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

French-Quarter-Garden-Wedding-at-Hermann-Grima-House-Dark-Roux-12

Hermann Grima House could hardly contain the abundance of love at Teale and Nic’s garden wedding in New Orleans. After exchanging personal vows in front of friends and family, the whole gang took to the streets of the French Quarter to celebrate in true New Orleans fashion, parasols in hand with tourists wishing them the best as they passed by. Dark Roux beautifully captured the festivities, from the couple’s first look to their fabulous dance party at Broussards.

The Couple:

Teale and Nic

The Wedding:

Hermann Grima House, New Orleans, Louisiana

I had sort of an unheard of experience with finding my wedding dress. I found it online, on the first website I ever looked at, ordered it, and it fit perfectly! It was one and done and I was so lucky. I’m not a very traditional person, so I liked how it was knee-length and found an incredible headpiece from Deloris Petunia that complimented the dress without overshadowing it.

We looked at about 10 venues before we found Broussards/Hermann Grima House. The moment we walked in we knew it was perfect because it was everything we wanted: an outdoor garden space in the French Quarter, a warm and inviting ambiance, AMAZING food, and a classic old New Orleans charm.

Heather and Jamie of Dark Roux could not have been more amazing. We picked them not only for their super talented portfolio, but also because they’re really easy-going people who made us feel so comfortable and stress free during the entire process. They were also able to wrangle our large families for group shots with ease, which was quite an impressive accomplishment.

The most memorable part of the day was definitely the traditional second line parade right after the ceremony. It was so special to be able to do that in the French Quarter and we couldn’t have asked for a more joyous and exciting way to begin our life as a married couple. Also, being little people we do get a lot of attention in general, so you can only imagine what an event it was for us to turn the corner onto Bourbon Street leading a wedding parade of over 100 people! Everyone on the street was wishing us well and it was such a surreal and epic experience that we will never forget.
