What happens when you mix strong Greek cultural elements with Italian finesse and New York style?
You get a mega party in Mykonos with New York vibes and a super stylish guest list who burnt a few shoe soles that night on the dancefloor!
Some say luxury can be found in elegant simplicity and Alex and Vanessa could not agree more with this statement. Flying all the way from New York to Mykonos they gathered a jet setter group of family and friends who celebrated under the Myconian sun for two back to back days.
The first day found them partying in and out of the waves on one of the famous Mykonos beaches and it was the perfect warmup for what would follow the next day at the Myconian Collection Royal Myconian.
An all white wedding theme with subtle elements of the groom’s Greek heritage, such as the white marble looking pillars at the ceremony aisle and the stationary and wedding favors, created a very clean and elegant scenery for the stunning couple whose emotions showed on their faces every moment.
Vanessa, wearing a Galia Lahav wedding dress harmoniously stood by the side of her beloved Alex in moments of calmness and joy, before their sunset view wedding dinner started. A dinner that did not even make it to the dessert course, as all guests, with the groom leading, could not wait to make it to the dancefloor!
When the actual wedding party started, DJ Nick Russo, straight from the NY night club decks, set the dancefloor on fire! Amongst candlelit tables, vibrant lights, a magnificent Greek summer moon, and uplifting party music, Alex and Vanessa enjoyed every moment of their Greek wedding in Mykonos and the Royal Myconian and created unforgettable moments with their families and loved ones.
