From Caucasus with love…
Lighthouse
Nikos Gogas
On a sunny Monday during fall in Santorini, the refreshing breeze wrapped Akrotiri village, creating the ultimate dynamic atmosphere that boosted our energy to the fullest.
The chosen ambience was simply unique. Everything was settled on the huge cliffs surrounding the famous lighthouse located in the West end of Santorini. All the right elements were present, working in our best interest, for the ideal open air photo shooting!
The theme could not be other than the Greek wedding, but not only that…
The spirit that the Diamond Rock Wedding team is famous for, portrayed in this magical experience. In accordance with the desire to satisfy every kind of request, and -above all- uplifting the barriers for every kind of happiness, like the same sex marriage, we offered our best services and devoted all our passion into creating a special day for our couple.
Frantseska Tsebelis, the head planner of this event along with her professional team, wanted to create this particular event by setting up ornamental structures of considerable importance in reference to the Greek culture and aura, just like the couple had dreamt.
The ornaments and decorations offered a graphic scenery which presented a combination between past and present times, ancient and modern age, along with a mixture of elements that characterized the strong Greek spirit.
A white temple with three arches held the background’s structure. Next to it, two big mirrors were reflecting Aphrodite’s statues that stood tall on the rocks of the caldera, an ancient symbol of spring, beauty and endless love. Six semicircle designed chairs were placed in front of the big temple. Included in the decoration was a trolley table decorated with white vases containing fresh flowers, books about the ancient Greek history, a pot with lemon, a bowl with loukoumia and the traditional liqueurs, all of which are elements that truly represent the Greek flavors and heritage.
A great moment was dedicated to the typical dances that powered the ceremony with a folkloristic taste, transmitting happiness and joy, passing on the message to “live life to the fullest every moment”.
When the ritual ceremony ended, the couple had their own moments in privacy, resting on the Cliffside of the lighthouse in order to admire the colorful sunset in a total romantic and peaceful atmosphere. The photo-shooting ended with cheers, joy and a deep sense of satisfaction, thanks to the fulfillment of all potentials.
Having creativity beyond any imagination and being true to one’s self in standing out and making a difference is the message that this wedding passed on, a message that each of us should live by.
