The wedding styling workshop at Madame Sousou in Santorini showcased both a beautifully arranged ceremony venue and a reception area, each designed with creativity and elegance.

Ceremony Decoration: The ceremony space, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Santorini’s sprawling landscape, featured a minimalist yet romantic design. Rows of delicate, vintage-style metal chairs were arranged neatly, with their heart-shaped backs adding a whimsical charm to the venue. The chairs faced a picturesque altar framed by lush floral arrangements made predominantly of soft pastel roses and baby’s breath. These floral pillars provided a stunning focal point without overwhelming the natural beauty of the surroundings.

The clear, expansive sky and the golden hour lighting added a serene and magical ambiance to the ceremony, making it the perfect setting for an intimate wedding celebration. The workshop demonstrated how to balance the use of florals and outdoor scenery, emphasizing how minimal decor can still have a powerful impact.

Reception Styling: Moving to the reception area, the workshop continued its theme of ethereal elegance, with the majority of the floral decorations consisting of abundant baby’s breath. The long reception table was draped in white linens, with white metal chairs aligning perfectly with the ceremony setup, creating continuity between the spaces. Baby’s breath, used as the primary flower, cascaded gracefully from the table to the ground, softening the overall look and adding a sense of natural beauty.

The table itself was adorned with silver & golden tableware and candles, which enhanced the romantic atmosphere as the sunlight faded. The use of natural lighting during the golden hour gave the entire reception area a warm, glowing ambiance, while candles scattered along the floral garlands added intimacy for the evening. The simplicity of the décor allowed the beauty of Santorini’s landscape to remain the main highlight, providing an unforgettable backdrop for any wedding.

This workshop at Madame Sousou offered an opportunity to learn how to style both ceremony and reception spaces using minimalist elements, predominantly baby’s breath, to create a romantic and cohesive wedding atmosphere.
