Elegant summer wedding at an estate in Athens | Vasia & Kostis

Vasia and Kostis chose Athens for an elegant, summer wedding in an atmosphere of joy and freedom. The white chapel at Ivelia Estate, amid the greenery, became the setting for a ceremony flooded with sunshine and friends’ applause. Their palette moved in beloved tones of white and green, with baby’s breath and olive branches embracing the candles and the curves of the chapel, adding a fresh, Mediterranean touch.

The bride appeared in a fitted wedding dress with a subtle shimmer, a deep V and an open back, paired with a delicate, sparkling veil. Her bouquet of white roses, baby’s breath and olive leaves tied in with the minimal floral décor. The groom in a classic black suit with a black tie and a white pocket square completed the elegant ensemble. Invitations in sage green with a botanical motif and ties with twine and dried flowers set the tone of the day early on: simplicity, naturalness and finesse.

After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed refreshing drinks on the lawn, with live saxophone notes at the welcome and, later, dynamic DJ sets under a sky full of fairy lights. For their first dance, everything sparkled – from Vasia’s dress to their friends’ smiles – while shortly after she changed into a short, glittering second dress and sneakers, turning the dance floor into an endless party. The photos by kv_wedding_story wonderfully capture the warmth of Athens’ summer light, alternating color and black-and-white frames that “hold” the movement, the rice in the air and the most spontaneous glances.

A wedding-idea for anyone dreaming of a summer ceremony at an estate in Athens with an elegant style: clean lines, natural greenery, white hues and a philosophy that leaves room for joy. From the discreet design by papery to the second dress for the party, Vasia and Kostis’ wedding proves that it is the details that give character and make the evening unforgettable.
