Welcome to {A Weekend Wedding} in Greece!

Welcome to Greece!  For this wedding, the couple was inspired by the blue, yellow, and white combination used in the evil eye, which is a good luck talisman of the mediterranean.  A flowing wedding dress with draped bodice from the Destinations by Maggie Sottero line is accented by a bridesmaid dress from Dessy in a custom blue and white.  A breathtaking seaside venue is used for the reception and the tables are draped with crisscrossing blue, white, and yellow linens.  The guests indulge in a simple white three tiered cake with gold and blue accents that reflet the water of the venue.  At the end of the evening everyone gives their best wishes to the bride and groom and the guests are sent home with their own lucky evil eye talisman to bring their own good fortune and remind them of their wonderful time in Greece. 

{It's the Little Touches ...}

Set the Grecian theme for your guests by sending them invitations or thank you cards that are decorated with a Greek key pattern or some famous Greek art.  Both card sets by etsy seller petitepaperie.

Want to feel like a Grecian goddess at your wedding?  Top off your long flowing locks or a messy updo with a golden laurel headband.  Gold leaf headed on left by etsy seller quirkybeauty and gold leaf headband on right by etsy seller mylavaliere.

This sweet beaded bracelet would make a unique wedding day accent or gift for your girls.  Bracelet by etsy seller caraway.

Next week we will be travelling to Hawaii for the next installment of {February is Destination Month}!  Also, {Table Top Tuesday} will be moving to Thursday just for next week (I'm on my own holiday ...)

{Accessories}

I love the idea of wearing a cardigan for a winter wedding! A warm and cute accessory, how could you possibly go wrong?

Your something blue can be something really chic, too! You will be sure to turn heads as you walk down the aisle wearing a veil in a blue hue.

Wearing your hair up? Accent pretty curls and loose styles with snowflake bobby pins like these clear ones on the left by etsy seller howbeadyful or these silver and rhinestone ones on the right by etsy seller tilleyjewels.

Wearing your hair down? Accent a soft flowing style with a simple yet elegant snowflake headband like this one by etsy seller blacksatinshoes.

Why not try an updated pearl necklace like these for your wintery wedding? They'd look great on you or your bridesmaids. And they're so pretty, how could you resist wearing it again and again?
