This Boho Chic Elopement in Santorini Will Give You All the Feels

Will we ever get tired of destination elopements? Probably not. And who can blame us when they look like this? After legally tying the knot in Barcelona three years prior, Martha and Eider jet-setted to Sant Antonio Vineyard in Santorini for a boho chic elopement. The two wedding videographers have seen their fair share of weddings so they knew exactly what they were looking for. With the help of Divine Weddings Santorini, the two renewed their vows on the hillside of the island before enjoying a small picnic overlooking the water. Eye Witness Stories beautifully captured the love between Martha and Eider and videographer–and Junebug member–Cinema of Poetry created a gorgeous wedding video that has us in tears.

Here’s what Cinema of Poetry’s Kostas had to say about their love:

“This film presents the beautiful and emotional story of a couple of equals. Marta & Eider are an LGBTQ couple of two brides that came all the way from Barcelona, Spain to exchange their vows in Pyrgos, Santorini. The elopement video of Marta & Eider is a story of true love but also a symbolic message for equality. Because love is always love. Sometimes when LGBTQ individuals have the courage to come out, they may face rejection from their families and the people around them. It then takes a lot of strength and support to go through these difficult moments. But, eventually, true love never fails. Marta has experienced this rejection in her life and it felt almost liberating for her to talk about it in this film. Hence, this elopement film is also about these struggles and how true love prevails eventually.”

Now if you’ll excuse us. We’ll be all in our feels for the rest of the day with this one!

Industrial Meets Botanical Wedding Inspiration at Loft 1023

We love when our vendors team up with other talented wedding pros to create magical wedding inspiration! This floral industrial styled shoot at Loft 1023 was just the inspo our creative hearts were looking for. Beautifully planned by Kylie Farmer Photography, we’re swooning over the bold floral arrangements by Petal to the Metal that pop against the deep red brick walls, the delicate yet geometric cake by Sweets and Treats by Victoria, and the bride’s tasseled gown from Flutter Dress. Every little detail ties together to create the perfectly boho edgy celebration!

Kylie’s Industrious Botanical Vision and Inspiration

I had this styled shoot planned for months prior to covid-19 rearing its ugly head. Thankfully, the shoot was scheduled right before the pandemic swept across the US in full force. Ironically enough, I was supposed to photograph the models’ actual wedding in April, but wasn’t able to do so thanks to the coronavirus. They elected to get married in their living room instead, and ended up with so many amazing photos from this styled shoot as a memory to look back on.

My inspiration for this shoot came from wanting a pop of color after the long (seemingly endless) dreary winter season that we just had. Hannah with Petal to the Metal brought my floral dreams to life, and Victoria with Sweets and Treats by Victoria made the most amazing cake.

Junebug Wedding Tip

If your venue or decor is on the minimal side, going bold with your cake design or adding an interesting topper to your cake can be a great way to add a little pop of color and fun!
