Wedding Mood: "Mamma Mia" | Traditional Wedding in Santorini

An authentic traditional in all senses of the word place, it gives you the feeling of a “Mamma Mia” wedding. The most charming traditional settlement of the island located on the central plains of Santorini with arched or cave houses, narrow streets and whitewashed chapels.

The beautiful village of Megalochori makes a welcome and peaceful alternative to the busy tourist attractions of Fira, Oia and the jostling of the summer crowds. Protected from the strong Cycladic winds, the traffic free winding lanes lead directly to the village square with its pretty churches and picturesque Venetian bell towers.

Your Wedding Ceremony can be contacted in one of the lovingly restored to their original splendour villas and mansions, retaining the original layout and traditional features light and simple, antique yet very much in keeping with contemporary taste. Combinations of the old with the new, these traditional villas provide all that is luxurious and beautiful.

Your wedding reception in a yard overlooking the main square of the village, the tables sit under the cooling shade of charming colourful pergolas accompanied with live traditional music.

Superbly presented, authentic Greek recipes from all over Greece, in addition to Santorinian specialties, are prepared with the freshest, seasonally abundant ingredients from local markets.

Royal wedding in Greece

Have you been dreaming of a royal wedding?

Just three hours from Athens and close to Porto Heli, the little island of Spetses is no stranger to the Greek royal family who often spend their holidays enjoying its charming scenery. But there's been more than holidays in the minds of the island's residents as they've prepared for the wedding of Nikolaos of Greece and Tatiana Blatnik. The beautiful old monstery of Ayios Nikolaos has been chosen for the ceremony itself, the guests are staying in the elegant and exclusive Poseidonion Hotel, and no doubt there will be plenty of celebrating going on in the cafes along the promenade at Ntapia, where the romantic royal couple have been spotted on more than one occasion. The pace of life here flows at a different rate, with bikes and horse-drawn carriages being popular means of transport to get around and discover the great mansions, the pine woods that reach down to the shores of the clear sea and the beautiful pebbled beaches. Take a look at some of the scenes the royal guests  enjoyed during their visit to this idyllic Greek island.

The wedding took place  on Aug. 25, 2010, in Spetses, Greece.

Crowns: During the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom are adorned with crowns that are connected by a single strand of ribbon. This signifies the union of the couple as well as indicates the pair's "rule" over their household.

Another tradition is a “rain” of rice and flowers from the guests to the couple after the ceremony that symbolizes prosperity and happiness.
