Real Wedding Inspiration CARA GILLMAN & NICK CHARD 23.08.14 “Our ceremony was held in a 100 year old log cabin/ wagon storage shed at Adora Downs Farm. The owners have recently converted the space into a ‘chapel’ with hand made wooden pews. The reception was held in the Barn, which was the perfect space for a big party. It fit our 110 guests easily with plenty of room to dance! I was dressed by FIORENZA and the bridesmaids wore gold cap sleeve dresses from White Runway. The boys were dressed by Roger David. Our first dance was to ‘Unchained Melody’ by the Righteous Brothers. While I had done most of the picking and choosing for the wedding, I really wanted Nick to make the decisions on some of the meaningful aspects, so he chose this song. It’s a song he has liked for a long time and its so beautiful, I was very impressed with his choice!”

“My gorgeous dress was by FIORENZA in Brisbane. I was lucky enough to have my dress fitting with the designer, Pina, herself. She made the experience so enjoyable. Pina has dressed over 20,000 brides and has a private showroom close to the city which makes for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s definitely a privilege to meet the designer of your dress and get her advice on accessorising. Our wedding had a 1920s glam feel to it and the veil that Pina designed for me added glamour and sparkle and was the talking point of the entire day! Everyone is still talking about how much they loved my veil and how they have never seen anything like it before! Pina launched her BEDECK range of custom fashion embellishments in 2014 and I was very proud to be one of the first to wear one of these gorgeous pieces on my wedding day.”

“Arriving on the doorstep of Paddington Weddings, to be greeted by cheerful staff and led warmly into the pretty interior of the shop was just the beginning of a fantastic experience. Gill and Anne were patient and generous with their time throughout my fittings, offering the right amount of advice and encouragement. They so clearly love their work. The dress made for me was a blend of clean, modern lines and pretty old-fashioned bows and buttons. It was so comfortable to move in and I felt natural and lovely all day.” Madeleine Rothwell (married Will Hancock 10.05.14)

“I love you right up to the moon — and back.”

SAM McBRATNEY - GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”

ERNEST H. SHEPHARD

“When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY

“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.

They’re in each other all along.”

THE ESSENTIAL RUMI

“Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.”

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE “I have for the first time found what I can truly love.

I have found you.”

CHARLOTTE BRONTE - JANE EYRE “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

ROBERT FULGHUM “I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.”

NICHOLAS SPARKS - THE NOTEBOOK

“I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.”

ROY CROFT “Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without.”

MEET JOE BLACK “It seems to me that love is everywhere.”

LOVE ACTUALLY “It could be nice, growing old with you.”

THE WEDDING SINGER

“I would rather share one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.”

ARWEN - LORD OF THE RINGS “And think not that you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”

KHALIL GIBRAN - THE PROPHET “I love your feet because they have wandered over the earth and through the wind and water until they brought you to me.”

PABLO NERUDA

Real Wedding Inspiration JILL TRUDGIAN & RICHARD BUCKLEY 30.08.14 “We met through RSVP. The proposal was funny and romantic...

Jill said: What’s this? Richard replied: Well it’s an engagement ring!

We chose Riverlakes Golf Club as the venue for our ceremony and reception. Our Celebrant was Shane Kells CMC. Tracey-Lee and the talented team from ZANADU EVENTS AND MORE styled our entire wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. They worked closely with Gennie from Riverlakes Golf Club to create our beautiful day. The theme was black, white and red... classically styled with a hint of fun! My dress and my Bridesmaid’s dress were by Kahootz Clothing and Richard and his Best Man wore Tom Sawyer waistcoats from the UK. The flowers were by Buds on Buranda and cake by Bella Cakes. Our wedding was a fun day for all... everything was beautiful and the room styling was beyond our expectations.”

“Our ceremony was held lake-side at Camp Moogerah, Lake Moogerah and was followed by a ‘Musical Festival’ themed reception. The festival theme extended to the dress code of our guests – they were requested to wear festival style gumboots and no-one disappointed, including our Celebrant, Bette Munz. We wanted to get married in front of family and friends and enjoy the spontaneity of what the day would bring... thunderstorms, lashing winds and all!” Photos courtesy Vellum Studios

“ Our unique wedding cake was custom made and designed by CAKE THAT! It was a sign post cake in keeping with the festival theme.

The locations on the sign post included cities of significance to us as well as locations around the wedding venue. The cake was made entirely of white and dark chocolate rocky road. ”

Real Wedding Inspiration ELENI PIPPOS & NATHAN KOZIONAS 14.06.14 Eleni & Nathan’s wedding was a picture-perfect affair... from the ceremony at the Greek Orthodox Church of St George to the reception at THE GREEK CLUB. Mrs Caterina Antonini, a very close family friend, made Eleni’s beautiful dress... “Special thanks to this very special lady who, at 70 years old, created a hand-beaded and sewn piece of art - my wedding dress.” Styled Events and Brisbane Market Flowers transformed the reception room into what Eleni describes as ‘rustic with a touch of glitter and sparkle’. Here are just some of the highlights from their stunning wedding day, captured perfectly by Andrew at PORFYRI PHOTOGRAPHY.

“ We were fortuna it would be a step of the way.

Real Wedding Inspiration NICOLE HARRISON & BRIDGET ROSE 23.11.13 “Our ceremony and reception were held at VUE DE LUMIERES, Maleny. They also organised the theming and decorating and sourced the flowers and the cake from their recommended local suppliers. The bride’s dress and bridesmaids’ dresses were from Cue. Our theme was ‘French Garden Party’ with croquet and cocktails while our guests waited for our photos to be taken before dinner. We went with a very clean, neutral colour scheme that included crisp white, dusty blue, and browns. This complemented the outdoor setting and marquee reception. We asked our guests to wear bright colours instead of any bold decorative colours. We asked our guests to write a message on Jenga blocks instead of having a traditional wedding book. We hired a sky blue and white vintage VW Kombi van from Deluxe Kombi Service. For our first dance, we performed a group choreographed dance to a mash-up of songs including (among others) ‘I’ve Got You Babe’ by Sonny & Cher, ‘Jump On It’ by The Sugar Hill Gang and ‘Take a Chance’ by Abba. A special mention to Royesy’s Dance Academy for the choreography.”

ate enough to stumble across Donnamaree and Kerry at Vue De Lumieres in Maleny. Since we reside in the ACT, we understood difficult task to organise a wedding. From just a few short meetings they understood exactly what we wanted and helped us every It was quite a simpatico relationship that worked so perfectly and effortlessly. And by the time our day rolled around, it was such a pleasant and stress-free experience knowing that they were behind the scenes. We simply couldn't thank them enough. ”

“ We have always wanted to celebrate our marriage at The Cathedral of St Stephen.The architecture is so grand and we knew that it would make for a memorable ceremony. We wanted a string quartet at our ceremony and Four Strings were absolutely perfect on the day. ”

Customs House LLENORE O’SULLIVAN & DAVID MORGANS were married on 26 July 2014 at St Stephen’s Cathedral.

Their reception was held at CUSTOMS HOUSE. Llenore was dressed by Darb Bridal and Divine Flowers provided the beautiful bouquets and reception flowers. Their first dance was to ‘‘You’ve Got The Love’ by Florence + The Machine. “We decided on this song a couple of years before our wedding when we saw it performed in concert. The words are very simple yet so meaningful to us.” Llenore and David chose STUDIO IMPRESSIONS to photograph their wedding day.

“ The Brisbane Club staff set up the reception venue decorations working closely with Phoebe Stephens Flowers. Phoebe understood my wedding vision and created stunning floral bouquets and table centrepieces.

Glengariff Historic Estate ALDA MONTEIRO & OSCAR NINASIVINCHE were married on 25 January 2013 at Our Lady Of Victories Church. “We chose this gorgeous church because of its architecture which reminded us both of churches we love in Peru and Portugal. It tied in with our ‘classic, old world’ theme perfectly and captured our cultural backgrounds. I wore a gown by Mori Lee New York from WHITE LILY COUTURE and hair styling and makeup was by THE POWDER ROOM. These ladies were wonderful from start to finish. They took their time with me at my trial to create the look that I loved. On the day they ensured that we were ready for photos and even stayed behind for finishing touches and to fix my makeup after I shed a few tears! Our reception was held at GLENGARIFF HISTORIC ESTATE. This gorgeous family estate perfectly suited our classically romantic wedding theme. The wonderful Channing took such care of us and our guests and made sure our day ran smoothly! We didn’t have to worry about a thing which allowed us to really sit back and enjoy every second with our family and friends. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful, they really went above and beyond to ensure we had a beautiful day. We love this venue and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts!” Photos courtesy Milque Photography & Films.

The Landing at Dockside MELISSA PERRY & JEREMY PHILPOTT were married on 29 March 2014. They had a beautiful riverside ceremony followed by a reception at The Landing at Dockside, Kangaroo Point. at Our Lady Of Victories Church. “We chose an aqua and white colour theme as aqua is my (Melissa’s) favourite colour and it perfectly suited the waterfront setting.

I made the bonbonniere myself... coconut and lime soy candles. Our first dance was to ‘Beautiful in My Eyes’ by Joshua Kadison... the words couldn’t be more perfect! The girls were all dressed by Princess Collections Adelaide and the boys by Roger David. Our gorgeous flowers were created by Agnes from ANGIE’S FLORAL DESIGN... I just love her work!” Photos by Shona Henderson Photography.

The Greek Club ELENI PIPPOS & NATHAN KOZIONAS were married on 14 June 2014. The ceremony was held at the Greek Orthodox Church of St George at West End and the reception was at THE GREEK CLUB. “Mrs Caterina Antonini, a very close family friend, made my wedding dress as well as my mother’s and Anna’s dresses. Special thanks to this very special lady who, at 70 years old, created a hand beaded and sewn piece of art - my wedding dress. I love the look of an outdoor wedding with hanging flowers and a fairy-light canopy and worked with Styled Events to recreate the look indoors... ‘rustic with a touch of glitter and sparkle’. The cars were from Kenz Classic (bridal car) and LIMOSO AUSTRALIA. Our wedding favours were little jars of olive oil with a sprig of rosemary from my grandmother’s garden. Our hobby is eating and we also love cooking together and thought it reflected us both as well as being a practical gift for our guests! Our first dance was to ‘All of Me’

by John Legend. We chose PORFYRI PHOTOGRAPHY to capture our wedding day.”

Flaxton Gardens did such an amazing job, from start to finish. Georgina, Alan and the team were so professional and helpful, offering advice and being very flexible. Their venue is so stunning and we are looking forward to returning to celebrate many anniversaries.

We couldn’t speak highly enough of Flaxton Gardens.

Highlights Rachael: “There was absolutely nothing I could complain about, every service I used did their job so perfectly. It was just so special that everyone had such a lovely time. The biggest highlights would be marrying Chris, dancing with my father, and capturing amazing photos with my photographer and bridal party.”

Chris: “Using my remote-controlled truck to transport the rings down the aisle!”

Our exquisite grounds lend themselves to

Highlights

“

Our ceremony was held at Maleny Botanic Gardens and the reception was at VUE DE LUMIERES. We had a lot of really great vendors who helped us out along the way. The person we liaised with the most, and who helped us organise the largest number of things was Kerry Cosgrove of Vue de Lumieres.

Even though our ceremony was at a different location, Kerry still wanted to check that things were going to go smoothly over there and organised a marquee for us at the ceremony site as a wet weather option. Photos courtesy Helen McConnell Photography.

Nicole: “The highlight of the day for me was the unveiling of the dance floor and the dancing. Now, the rain had made my dress a bit of a mess and my satin shoes had gotten a little soggy, so I changed into another dress I had brought. This made our first dance so much easier.

Nathaniel and I couldn’t take our eyes off each other. The fog from the dry ice smoke machine made the moment feel magical! The song we picked was quite dramatic and beautiful.”

Nathaniel: “After the ceremony it started to rain so we were trapped under the marquee. However, after the rain had passed, there was a rainbow which made for some beautiful shots and made me feel incredibly lucky!”

Something

blue

“

WEDDING CAKE INSPIRATION from Gillian Bell

There are many customs and traditions around weddings and when the borage flower blooms in my garden, I’m reminded of the custom of a bride wearing something blue on her wedding day. So I thought another way to incorporate this custom could be through the wedding cake. I called Emma Healy of Seraphine Floral and Cultivate Collective to ask her if she would design a floral arrangement that could accompany my cake. Emma created a posy that harkened back to the origins of traditional nosegays heavily scented with basil flower, freesia, lavender and rosemary.

MORE INSPIRATION FROM THIS SHOOT CAN BE FOUND IN THE 2015 EDITIONS OF BRISBANE BRIDE MAGAZINE AND ONTREND BRIDAL MAGAZINE.

Destination Wedding Inspiration Winter Weddings... Queenstown style ELIZABETH CUSICK & DAVID BARKER 26.07.14 Story by Courtney Barker Photos courtesy Alpine Image Company www.alpineimages.co.nz The biggest question I faced was: “What on earth do I wear to a wedding in the snow… in minus four degrees?” Like many of my fellow Queenslanders, my idea of a dream wedding included sun, surf and sand. That was until I visited Queenstown in New Zealand for a winter wedding!

It was truly eye opening and has set the standard for my own wedding (fingers crossed not too far away... Curtis!!!) Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital, greeted us with minus four degrees and rugged snow-capped mountains... and we couldn’t wait for our five days of wedding festivities to begin!

This wedding was extra special to me. One of my closest cousins, Dave (I have 39 first cousins and I love them all very much) was about to marry a wild girl from Cairns, the gorgeous Libby Cusick. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect setting for a white winter wedding. It was something from a fairytale. Celebrating in such chilly conditions... with the temperature pushing zero degrees at times... gave us a sense of togetherness and adventure and these gorgeous photos will give you just a hint of the atmosphere of this wonderful winter wedding.

How can I even start to describe the scenery? It was like we were standing in a postcard! We all quickly gathered inside the church... not only to keep warm, but also because we couldn’t wait to see the bride walk down the aisle. Dave looked so cute standing at the front with his best mates. His hair perfectly combed and gelled (as Libby requested) and that smile I will never forget! And then, with a burst of fresh Amisfield air, in walked the gorgeous bridesmaids (two of my cousins among the beauty) and the man of honour – that’s right, MAN of honour! And... in true ‘Libby style’... she tried to kiss Dave when she reached the altar, forgetting she had to go through the nuptials first and then wait for the announcement of the kiss. After tears of joy from the entire congregation, we made our way to the cottage for mulled wine, oysters and s’mores. We gathered by the fireplace while the wedding party was taken by double decker bus to capture some breathtaking photos. I was having such a wonderful time when I noticed everyone was being moved back onto the bus. I thought it was the end of the celebrations, but my Uncle announced we were heading to Amisfield for dinner. And just five minutes down the country road, we stopped at another spectacular location. It felt like we had arrived at the old family home for a traditional roast dinner around the fireplace. It was simple, yet stunning and the idea of sharing and passing around the food was so welcoming. We enjoyed the food, photo booth, speeches and cake... until 8pm when we were strongly advised by the venue to head back to town in case of an unexpected blizzard which would mean we could get stuck there! I couldn’t think of a better place in the world to get ‘stuck.’ There was certainly enough mulled wine and food to get us through a few days.

Back on the red double decker bus, Libby announced we were headed to the FINAL location for the evening – Bardeaux, a little wine bar in the heart of Queenstown. Bardeaux played host to those who wanted to kick on and dance and of course start on the celebratory shots! By this time Libby had tied the bottom of her gown in a knot so she could really get her dance moves going. Libby, your beauty shines through your smile and I cannot welcome you enough to the Barker clan... you really are just one of us...

Happy ever after Dave and Libby xxx Courtney

Ania Pokora & Maciek Slusarczyk 20.09.13 photo KWINTOWSKI PHOTOGRAPHY “ We chose ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You’ by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons for our first dance... we enjoy going to musical shows, and one of our favourite shows was Jersey Boys. That song just stuck! We had organised Polish music to play between the band sets. The dance floor was always full. We even organised a traditional Polish after party the next day... so the wedding could keep on going! ”

Real Wedding Inspiration JESSICA RIBOT-DE-BRESAC & BRUNO DELLA VALLE 05.04.14 “Our ceremony was held at St Brigid’s Catholic Church, Red Hill and was followed by a reception at TATTERSALL’S CLUB. My dress was by Vera Wang and Bruno was dressed

by Ermenegildo Zegna. We wanted to take a bit of the spotlight off of us and make our wedding more about our families and all of our friends who were celebrating with us. Our ring bearer and flowergirl (our niece and nephew) played major roles in our day. We both wanted to forego the tradition of having a large bridal table at the front of the room and instead sit in the middle surrounded by our friends and family. We chose Marcus Bell of STUDIO IMPRESSIONS to capture our wedding day.”

“We decided to go with an ‘INDOOR FOREST’ theme, and Tattersall’s could not have been more perfect and complementary to this style. We felt the amazing features of the venue, the green carpets, grand chandeliers and dark wood, really came to life with our mostly foliage-based centrepieces and trees scattered around the room.”

“ The ceremony was set up on the headland of a private property overlooking the ocean and the beach where we got engaged. This spot was extra meaningful to us both as my mum got married there and Michael’s parents had their vow renewal there too. We had rows of white timber chairs facing the ocean and Bali flags directing guests from the car park. During the ceremony we had our siblings read quotes and we said our own vows as well as the traditional vows. ” Alaina ALAINA ALROE & MICHAEL KENNEDY 11.01.14

BARCELONA... ESPANA HALF-DAY BIKE TOUR A great way to see the highlights of this cosmopolitan city in a short time is on a guided half-day bike tour. You will be constantly stopping at traffic lights and to take in points of interest along the way. The pace is relaxed and there are no hills to conquer. The excellent Englishspeaking tour guides will show you the main attractions of Barcelona - including a stop outside Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia. There are no hills and the pace is easy. Stopping to have lunch (and a well-deserved drink at an outdoor beach bar overlooking the Mediterranean) is an absolute highlight.

TAP Portugal flies direct from Lisbon to Barcelona (approx AUD $141 per person inc taxes) www.flytap.com

ONLINE

La Sagrada Familia finally has an approximate completion date... 2026 (or 2028)... more than 140 years after the first stone was laid. What would Gaudi think!!!

Park Güell Another architectural masterpiece by the uber-talented Gaudi is Park Güell, located in the hills overlooking the city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean.

Access to the Monumental Zone of Park Güell is limited to 400 tickets every half hour so it is best to purchase tickets (approx 7 EURO) in advance at www.parkguell.cat. A ticket will allow you to visit the most iconic parts of the park at the reserved times and go directly to the entrance checking point if you have a printed ticket or have the QR code on your smart phone or tablet. The views of the city and sea are spectacular. www.parkguell.cat

SAN SEBASTIAN... ESPANA A fast and comfortable train ride north of Barcelona will take you through the Plains of Spain to the northern coastal city of San Sebastian. The city lies at the northwest end of the Pyrenees mountain range and is close to the French border. The climate is mild all year round, with steady rainfall throughout the seasons. San Sebastian’s weather isn’t as sought after as other Spanish coastal destinations as the days are often dull and dreary with rainy periods and sunny interludes. Don’t let the weather deter you from visiting this picturesque city. Its stunning coastline makes it one of the most popular beach resorts in all of northern Spain. San Sebastian is the favourite destination for wealthy Spaniards who want to escape the tourism masses in the south of Spain. The city is sheltered by Isla de Santa Clara and bordered on one side by Mount Urgull and on the other side by Mount Igeldo and is built around the beautiful Bay de La Concha, a crescent-shaped beach in the Basque Country. The open-top bus tour is a great way to see this beautiful city, but do take a brolly and a sun hat and you will probably need both before the ride is over!

The tapas bars in San Sebastian are legendary and are the best way to sit, relax and enjoy the local wines while tasting the many flavours which Spain is famous for.

VIVA ITALIA... FIRENZE Florence is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and is the most populated city in Tuscany. Famous for its history, Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and known to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. It is easy to spend days wandering around this historic and very romantic city. And when you can drag yourself away from all this shopping and culture, there are many tours which depart from Florence to take you into the amazingly beautiful Tuscan countryside. We stayed in the heart of downtown Florence in a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment with all the modern conveniences of home. Located above a fabulous Italian Restaurant, the apartment is air-conditioned and quiet with an ensuited main bedroom. “Grazie Alessandro for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous apartment” Condotta Suite 14, Piazza Signoria,Via della Condotta, Florence www.airbnb.com.au alessandro@alessandrogiuliattini.com.

TUSCANY IN ONE DAY WALKABOUT TOURS www.walkaboutflorence.com/italy-tuscany-florence-tours Famous for a wealth of art, history, striking landscapes and outstanding produce, Tuscany really does have the best of all worlds! If you don’t have a lot of time to spare, this tour will allow you to experience the best Tuscany has to offer on a full-day guided coach trip from Florence. There will be time to explore the Gothic city of Siena (famous for its medieval streets) on a guided walking tour which includes a visit to the Gothic cathedral. Next is a visit to an organic wine estate to enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch and wine tasting among the Sienese Hills, where Chianti wine is produced.You will be seated at long tables on the shaded verandah overlooking the vineyards (just like the movies). After lunch you will visit San Gimignano where you can roam the maze of cobbled streets and small squares, grab a gelato and walk between San Gimignano’s famous 14 towers.Your final stop is Pisa, where you can make an up-close inspection of the Leaning Tower, view the Cathedral, the Baptistery and monumental Cemetery in Pisa before returning to Florence.

A visit to Siena will transport you back to the Middle Ages.

The grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvellous marble floors.

The Piazza del Campo, the main town square (above) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horse race in the world. This is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones. Siena is an easy day trip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away. order PRINT EDITIONS of ONTREND BRIDAL and BRISBANE BRIDE M

MILANO... MAGNIFICO !!!

Anyone who has been to Milan will tell you not to miss visiting the Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) which was described

by Mark Twain as ‘a poem in marble’. You won’t be able to miss it as all roads virtually lead to this Gothic masterpiece which took nearly six centuries (1386 to 1813) to complete and is the fifth largest cathedral in the world (and the largest in Italy). There is a lift outside which takes you up to the Duomo rooftops where, on a clear day, you can see the Alps. Another way to see Milan is to hop on one of the red open top tourist buses for a guided tour of downtown. Milan is one of the world’s fashion capitals, and home to both Leonardo’s Last Supper and the world’s premier opera house, La Scala. This commercial hub also boasts art galleries, excellent restaurants, hotels and designer shops. Milan is currently undergoing upgrades to prepare to host the EXPO World Fair in 2015.

We stayed at a luxury serviced apartment in downtown Milan and were thrilled to be upgraded to their best suite, with the main bedroom window directly facing the magnificent Duomo... spectacular !!!

GLAMOUR APARTMENTS Passaggio Duomo, 2, Piazza del Duomo, Milano www.glamour-apartments.com www.booking.com

Our ‘Room With a View’ at Glamour Apartments.

The large equestrian statue in the Piazza del Duomo honours Italy’s first king, Victor Emmanuel.

LAKE COMO... SPLENDIDO !!!

The northern Italian resort town of Como sits at the tip of Lake Como in Lombardy. Ringed with palatial villas, manicured gardens and snow-capped Alps, Lake Como is one of the most popular day-trip destinations from Milan. Wander through the town’s arcaded streets and very stylish shops, and relax under the trees in the lakefront gardens before taking a cruise on the lake. Other scenic towns dotted around the 146 square kilometre lake include Bellagio, Bellano, Menaggio and Lecco. Take a ferry ride on the lake to Bellagio, which is the prettiest of these towns, and have lunch at one of the outdoor restaurants overlooking the lake. After lunch you can catch a ferry back to Como, or take a local bus. The bus ride gives you a different perspective and there are some amazing views as the bus winds its way around the glacial lake to the train station for your return trip to Milan. Our tip: Catch the first train in the morning and the last train back to Milan because once you get to Lake Como, just like George and Madonna, you won’t want to leave! Trains depart from Milano Centrale and it takes around one hour to arrive at the Como Lago station.

Even though Mykonos has a reputation for being the ‘party island’, we stayed at this beautiful resort and went to Little Venice and dined in the restaurants, drank at the bars, walked the shopping streets at night... and everything was idyllic and very romantic.

Mykonos and Santorini are both ideal for destination weddings and honeymoons and each island offers something unique.

A great way to ‘island hop’ from Mykonos to Santorini is to catch the hydrofoil and sit back in air-conditioned comfort while you are transported from one island paradise to the next. When you arrive at the port on Santorini, there will be buses, taxis and chauffeurs holding signs up everywhere. We chose to stay at OIA which is known as the best place on Santorini to see the sun setting over the Mediterranean. Caldera Villas offer traditional cliff house accommodation and are centrally located below the main street which runs through Oia. They do have a ‘plunge pool’ which is really small but is great if you don’t want to do laps, especially as many of the cliffside villas don’t have pools... and it is a long way down the steep hill to the sea.

There are so many restaurants dotted around the town of Oia and many have spectacular views over the volcano and the ocean. The sunsets are truly spectacular and people flock from everywhere on the island to experience at least one ‘Oia sunset’ during their stay. If you are lucky enough to stay at Oia, you will be spoilt with a sunset every day and you can walk to see it. While on Santorini, you have to experience a donkey ride. The donkeys are quite large (more like horses) and very well looked after. A highlight of staying at Caldera Villas is the donkeys walk right past the pool on their way down to the port to collect tourists. They can also take you to the restaurants along the water’s edge where you can eat delicious local seafood with the Mediterranean virtually lapping at your feet. If you don’t want to take a donkey ride back up the steep hill, there are taxis available, but it is definitely an experience you won’t forget... hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Santorini Sunsets

Another must-do is a sunset sailing trip out to the volcano on a catamaran.

The boat stops for everyone to swim to a couple of beaches along the majestic cliffs of Santorini and then enjoy a BBQ cooked on the boat by the staff (and washed down with Ouzo) before setting sail towards the volcano for an amazing sunset.

Weddings Greek Style YIANNIS TEPETSIKLIS is a fine art photographer in Greece who also works as a destination wedding photographer. In his wedding photography, he is in search of the realistic point of view... “the spontaneous moment” but in an artistic way. The final result of each wedding project depends on the people, the place, the light... he doesn’t follow the same form or rules of photographing and editing his work. Here are three weddings to inspire anyone planning their own “Big Fat Greek Wedding”.

Vaida & Kostas “Kostas is from Greece and had been living on Mykonos for the past 15 years.Vaida came to the island for a holiday with some friends who had chosen Mykonos as the place to visit. On the day before she was due to leave, she met Kostas and fell in love.”

GREEK WEDDINGS by Sia Sia Aristidou writes a blog about Greek Weddings and Traditions and she sells beautiful wedding products at the GREEK WEDDING SHOP. Smashing plates and ‘big fat Greek weddings’ have always been a part of Sia’s life. She has been a bridesmaid more than a dozen times, a koumbara twice... and now she helps couples to plan their own ‘big fat Greek weddings’. Contact Sia if you are thinking about a destination wedding in Greece or if you would like more information about wedding crowns (stefana), candles (lambathas) or sugared almonds (koufeta). www.GreekWeddingTraditions.com www.GreekWeddingShop.com

Tying the knot... Crete Style story Sia Aristidou photos HannaMonika Wedding Photography (Crete) s1.hannamonika.com

Raquel and Evan had their destination wedding on the island of Crete. Evan's family are from Sisani and Omalo (both in the northern part of Greece).

The couple chose Crete because none of their guests had been there and they felt there would be more things to see and do compared to the popular choices like Santorini or Mykonos.

“Wedding Crowns (Stefana) have been purchased by the best man (the koumbaros) to crown the bride and groom.

These crowns have been hand made by Maria Trovas from Story of Stefania (also available on the Greek Wedding Shop) and they are personalised with the bride and groom's names and wedding date.”

Raquel &

Raquel: “These two super cool Greek manges (swag guys) were a last minute addition (surprise gift) from Audrey and Christos from Luxury Weddings on Crete.They were amazing, I was so lucky to be accompanied up the hill by them and their magical tunes! The Church (on the hill at Milatos) is surrounded by olive groves and overlooks the ocean.”

The church where Evan and Raquel were married...

Aghios Nektarios. It's an unmanned Church, the Priest was from the closest operational Ekklesia.

The view from the back of the church.

Sia: “The wedding ceremony is taking place at the back of the Church. In Australia, we are not allowed to have Greek weddings outside.They must always be inside the Church.

However in Greece, weddings (and christenings) are often performed outside of the Church because they are built too small to fit all of the people. However, the wedding cannot be performed in a garden or on the beach. It must be directly next to the Church.The guests stand up for most of the ceremony.They sit when they are told to sit by the Priest.The koumbaros (best man) is standing next to the groom behind the priest.”

Evan

Raquel and Evan had just been crowned with the stefana. It is at this moment that they are connected to each other through Christ and officially man and wife. The guests throw rice to celebrate this special moment just before they begin the walk around the table - their first steps as a married couple - the beginning of their journey together.

There is always Greek Dancing at a Greek Wedding... and after a couple of bottles of scotch, the guests will get up on the tables to dance. Usually the men will dance around in a circle with a bottle of scotch and a shot glass. One by one the men will drink shots without using their hands. Sometimes, they balance the glass on their heads and sometimes they will just drink from the bottle. This is “Kefi” - the spirit of joy, enthusiasm, high spirits and frenzy, in which good times, and passion for life are expressed with an abundance of excitement, happiness and fun. Smashing plates (representing all that is material)... nothing else matters when you are in love!
