Perfecting Your Greek Wedding – The Essentials 3/3

Welcome back, lovebirds! We’re in the home stretch of planning your dream Greek wedding. We’ve covered the basics—planning, logistics, and guest happiness. Now, it’s time to delve into the fun stuff: design, food, and drinks. Let’s put the final touches to your celebration!

Themes and Inspiration: Your Unique Atmosphere

Greece’s breathtaking landscapes will naturally set the vibe for your wedding. Your design choices should highlight these views and showcase your personalities. Whether you’re bohemian, colorful, or minimalist, there’s a perfect setting for you.

At Sirtaki Events, our design catalogue is packed with styles we love. We research trends, get creative, and find unique pieces to bring each vision to life. Some couples stick to these designs, others mix and match, and some create entirely new concepts. We’re here to help no matter your vision.

Many Greek venues, or "kitma," already have stunning decor, lighting, and florals. Think about how to enhance these features to make them uniquely yours.

Flower Power

Flowers and love are timelessly linked. Your floral choices will set the tone for your wedding—whimsical, wild, or elegant. When planning abroad, consider the availability and cost of local flowers. Seasonal blooms like peonies, roses, and lilies add an authentic touch. Working with local vendors ensures your decor is fresh and vibrant.

Lighting and Ambiance: Setting the Mood

Lighting is crucial for creating the right atmosphere. Fairy lights, lanterns, and candles can make your evening ceremony magical. Check the sunset times for your wedding day to perfect the lighting.

Menu Planning: A Greek Feast

Greek cuisine is a sensory delight. Include traditional and seasonal dishes like Greek salads, meze, seafood, and grilled meats in your menu. Cater to dietary needs and have a tasting session to finalize choices. Food is a highlight for guests, so make it memorable.

Ice cream, sorbets, and fresh fruit are perfect for summer weddings. Serving them from a truck or stand adds an interactive element.

Toasting to Your Love

Pair local Greek wines with your menu for a delightful dining experience. We have tried a lot of Greek wines and are only too happy to share our favourites – of course we have to taste test these when you arrive! 

A cocktail bar is a must. Give it a Greek twist with Ouzo-based drinks or cocktails featuring local fruits and herbs. Personalized cocktails are a fun way to add your touch to the celebration. Don’t forget a variety of non-alcoholic drinks like Greek iced tea, lemonade, and mocktails to keep everyone refreshed.
