Elegant summer wedding at Island Private House on the Athenian Riviera | Yasmine & Ousama

Yasmine and Ousama chose Athens to celebrate their love, against a backdrop of the sea and the soft summer light. The ceremony and reception took place at the Island Private House, a spot that embraces the shoreline and showcases the minimal elegance they had envisioned: white blooms with abundant greenery, lanterns on the steps and delicate strings of lights that came on as the sun set. The atmosphere was cosmopolitan, with guests who had traveled from afar and with the cool Athenian Riviera breeze accompanying every moment.

Yasmine chose a fitted off-the-shoulder dress with an embroidered lace train and a long veil, wearing her hair in loose waves; Ousama appeared in a classic black tuxedo. The morning preparations were all about satin robes, a playful mood and refreshing welcome drinks, while a row of straw Panama hats awaited the guests to shield them from the sun. The clean white-and-green palette continued in the graphic identity with elegant invitations and thank-you cards. Moments To Keep Photography captured the couple in warm tones and black-and-white frames that highlight the quiet strength of the landscape and their tender glances.

The ceremony was set on the stone steps overlooking the blue, amid floral arrangements of white roses and eucalyptus. Yasmine arrived accompanied by her father, and there, with the sound of the waves in the background, they exchanged vows amid spontaneous smiles and warm embraces. The venue’s understated scenography allowed their relationship itself to take center stage, while the twilight light wrapped the guests in a calm, elegant mood.

At the reception the round tables were dressed with ivory linens, woven Chiavari chairs and low white arrangements, while place settings with geometric chargers lent a touch of modern luxury. An impressive white multi-tiered cake with embossed details was cut in front of neon initials, with live saxophone and fireworks marking the start of the party under the string lights. For anyone dreaming of an elegant summer wedding in Athens, the inspiration here is clear: a natural palette, clean lines, a seaside setting and small, thoughtful details that linger in the memory.
