Our first thought, when we saw this fabulous wedding, was simply … wow! International couple, Annette from Belgium and Jamie from Brazil, held their extravagant wedding on the Greek island of Crete. Splendid beaches, impressive mountains, and lush greenery provided a glorious backdrop for their Greek destination wedding!

With various shades of bright sea blues against the stark white architectural features so prevalent in the Mediterranean region, their day was modern, elegant, and even a bit rustic. Annette and Jamie’s ceremony was held near the shore of the Aegean Sea in an exquisite private palm bay, surrounded by so many immaculate details. It had a bit of a tropical tone, with palm trees and white sand surrounding them. Their ceremony was held at a rustic farm estate in the countryside. Overall, their fairy tale modern Greek destination wedding is truly what dreams are made of.

Annette and Jamie’s photos, by HannMonika Photography, are truly teeming with love, beautiful color, and a magical tapestry of stunning landscapes and seascapes.  Gush over {and be inspired by} their wedding day with us!

The bride’s “something old” was a silver six pence given to her by a bridesmaid. She also wore a special brooch in her hair that had been passed down through generations, and most recently from her grandmother had had passed away.

Timeless and modern, gold and white were actually the main colors of the day—with the landscape adding in natural bright hues, along with the bridesmaids dresses, too.

The shades of sea blue tie in perfectly with the Mediterranean feel of the wedding. While definitely stunning, they’re also fun and flowy!

A bit of a rustic feel was added to their modern ceremony, with a flourishing vine arch filled with beautiful white hydrangeas.

Their reception was held at a stunning rustic estate in the hills, with 360-degree stunning views of the Cretan countryside.

Intricate gold frames were displayed on every table and portrayed  different countries that held significance for the couple. Little gold boxes with gifts for guests sat next to each place setting.
