A ROMANTIC MYKONOS ELOPEMENT

Mykonos has everything you could want for a Greek destination wedding - warm sea air, golden light and a gorgeous earthy palette dotted with those famously white buildings.

The Greek Islands have always been close to my heart so I was thrilled to be able to photograph this stunning Mykonos elopement at Mykonos town luxury hotel, the stylish and tranquil Bohème Mykonos. Up on the hill, beyond the whitewashed maze of bars and boutiques, Bohème Mykonos is the perfect location for a Greek elopement if you love the idea of marrying somewhere that brings you peace and balance and where style connects with nature.

What should the morning of a Mykonos Wedding look like?

I'm a firm believer in slow mornings and even more so on wedding days. A wedding is so fast paced, I truly believe the best way to begin your day is in the most relaxed way possible. Waking up with coffee and a stunning view of the Ionian Sea, followed by a dip in a private jacuzzi with a glass of champagne? It doesn't get more perfect.

What do you wear for a Mykonos Elopement?

There are no rules, but the best details are the ones that are intrinsically you. Modern celestial grecian was the theme with nods to the stars and ancient greek style. Personalised constellations hand sewn into the bridal wings by the incredible Rebecca Anne Designs, a handcrafted Gibson Bespoke headpiece and earrings, intricate rings by RU.ST Jewellery and the brides favoured fragrance contributed to the elegant theme of the day. And just wait 'til you see the gowns!

A Greek Destination Wedding in Esty Style

Continuing with the elegant theme, the bride wore the stunning Melanie gown by Esty Style. This ivory corseted dress is decorated with lace and crystals and is a beautiful choice if you are looking for something classic with modern detail. The groom wore a tailored linen suit, which was perfect for the warm Mykonos weather.

The gorgeous couple broke all tradition and had the most perfect modern day elopement. After enjoying the morning together, they each got ready separately and met for a first look in this natural cabana filled with billowing drapes. Followed by a sweepingly romantic greek elopement at the little chapel on the hill, just when the sun was starting its journey into golden hour.

Romantic Mykonos Wedding Styling

Before the evening celebrations, a romantic table setting for two was laid. Created by wedding planner and stylist The Stars Inside, a beautiful palette of pink, brown and peach tones decorated this exotic fairy lit canopy. Petridis lent a tropical vibe to the romance with bold flowers and dried palms and grasses and modern stationery by Love Me Do kept things stylish.

A Sparkling Mykonos Sunset, Made With Love

As ever, Greece graced us with a beautiful sunset for the wedding portraits and it was magical. The bride changed into her second dress for the evening, the glittering Mila dress by Made With Love Bridal, and she was perfectly sexy and elegant. This is also where Rebecca Anne's bridal wings came alive! With just the slightest of breezes (a wedding photographer's dream!), the wings lifted into the air to give a modern take on classic wedding romance.

A Private Destination Wedding Celebration

One of the best things about this Mykonos elopement venue was how private it was. Even though it wasn't exclusive, there were so many secret places you could celebrate for just the two of you or your small wedding party. The raised garden has beautiful views across the bay and is another option to have your elopement ceremony. For this Mykonos elopement, it provided the perfect setting for the evening. Whilst the remnants of sunset colours were disappearing from the sky, the evening celebrations began under the stars...
