A Greek Wedding Theme ...
A stylish mediterranean celebration

If you love the breathtaking scenery of movies like "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" or "Mamma Mia," this is the theme for you.

Setting the scene

Think of fishing villages, sun kissed bodies and a relaxed lifestyle.

Work mainly with whites and blues and accentuate them with silver.

Use these colors for your linens and chairs. You should use white tablecloths and blue napkins. White chair covers and blue sashes—you get the idea.

Your centerpiece could be a very simple yet delicate candle arrangement, or go with the classy and timeless flower arrangement.

If you don't find a venue with pillars or columns, buy some Greek columns decorations to set the atmosphere. Also decorate the venue with gauze-like fabric such as gossamer to give the illusion of ancient curtains.

While I am describing this theme as a destination theme, I know there are many brides out there who choose this theme to honor their roots and/or culture. There are many Greek wedding traditions you can embrace if you are one these brides. And if you are not, you can still check some of them and incorporate them to make your theme a little more culture-oriented.

For example, one easy tradition to incorporate is followed by many brides in Crete. They bake breads in a circular shape that they share with their guests at the wedding. This is a lot of fun. Maybe you can give it your own spin, for example don't bake bread, but maybe cupcakes, cookies, etc., whatever your specialty is, to share with your guests.

Dressing the Part

Keep in mind the theme when choosing your dress. A beautiful Greek wedding dress that is reminiscent of ancient Greece is perfect for the occasion.

Your Wedding Cake

For the most daring, go with a majestic one that displays the Holy Trinity if you have and orthodox Greek wedding.

A little something for your guests

Choose a wedding favor bag or box that represents your style to give it a personal touch, but candy coated almonds are a must for this theme!

Or reflect the love for fruits that Greeks have with an a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/5s105mu2-u1HLKPMNOPHJILRLJIM?sid=apcan&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myweddingfavors.com%2Fcjclick%2Fapple.html&cjsku=KA20039NA" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.myweddingfavors.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"> Apple shaped Mini-Candle in gift box or scented pear soap
