When you think of a romantic destination wedding, one of the first places that come to mind is a Greek Island ceremony. The whitewashed structures with iconic blue accents are a key visual that beautifully compliments the Aegean Sea. Plus, with a pleasant climate, any day can be the perfect day to say ‘I Do.’ So embrace the gorgeous Greek culture with these attractive ideas you can incorporate into your big fat (Greek) wedding.

Embody the spirit of Greece with little details as part of your decor. You can do this by opting for blue, white, and gold tones for your table decor, wedding flowers, decorative vases, and even incorporate Medditarian cuisine into your menu.
Aesthetic Wedding Cakes

A delicious wedding dessert also needs to look pretty. Customize your cake to match the theme of your Greek-style wedding with the classic blue, white, and gold. You can either use Greek designs to paint your cake or add elements like olive leaves and decadent flowers to enhance its visual appeal further.
Meaningful Wedding Favors

If you’re looking to give your wedding attendees some gift favors, opt for something practical that you know the guests will use and appreciate. Bottles of olive oil are great ideas, and you can attach a personal note to make it all the more special. And, of course, a Greek theme isn’t complete without you incorporating the evil eye. These blue goodie bags are not just aesthetically pleasing, but the bombonieres (candy-covered almonds) inside are traditional party favors that are given out at almost every Greek wedding.
Design details like these evoke the Spirit of Santorini with a minimalistic approach, reminiscent of a simple luxury European island. Get inspired by these wedding ideas and live the Greek dream on your big day!
