Traditional With A Modern Touch

Modern Wedding Posted: November 3, 2017

A traditional Greek wedding incorporating a modern touch…

OVERSEAS ENGAGEMENT…

Christopher asked Francine to be his forever on their first overseas trip together at Waimea Waterfalls in Hawaii.

“We walked through the beautiful botanical gardens up to the waterfall. When we finished our swim Chris asked to take a photo together in front of the waterfall. As, I stood waiting… I looked down and Chris was on his knee asking me to marry him. I was so proud of him and after all the tears of joy I was so excited to say a big YES!”, Francine says.

A MODERN TOUCH ON A TIMELESS CLASSIC…

Christopher and Francine wanted a traditional, Greek wedding reflecting their Cypriot heritage but with a modern twist. They opted for an understated and classic wedding. White colours, with small touches of gold decorated Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, with fresh florals running through the days theming.

GRACEFUL AND SOFT…

Looking for a traditional and graceful gown, Francine sought out designer Leah Da Gloria to design the dress of her dreams. She opted for a sweetheart style gown, complete with lace detailing and the most breathtaking of trains.

Francine’s bridesmaids each wore powder blue gowns by Shona Joy and the groom and his groomsmen all wore classic black by Calibre.

ALL WHITE EVERYTHING…

Each of Francine’s bride tribe walked down the aisle white a bouquet of white Peonies and David Austin Roses. A mix of fresh white florals and greenery adorned the reception venue, made complete with chandeliers and dainty glowing candles dotted throughout.

A SWEET TREAT…

Each of the couples guests left their wedding day with some handmade chocolates individually packed with love by the bride and her mother.
