A BOHO CHIC CHRISTENING IN RHODES

Emeleia

Emeleia's baptism took place in a beautiful, hidden chapel in the Medieval town of St. Panteleimona, providing a perfect intimate setting for close family and friends. The family’s vision of a chic-boho celebration was brought to life with pampas grass, protea bouquets, ivy, and handcrafted macramé elements. The invitation suite, created by Manousenia Designs, featured elegant calligraphy and sketches inspired by the pampas grass theme. At the chapel entrance, guests were greeted with a handwritten welcome sign and delicate macramé decorations. Chandeliers with macramé tassels and a custom backdrop added personal and artistic touches, while handmade macramé keychain keepsakes offered a charming memento.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued at a private villa. A plexiglass welcome sign with macramé details greeted guests, who were offered cones filled with almonds. Tables and the open bar were adorned with floral arrangements by Kay Creations, while Golden Apple Weddings handled the event planning and styling. A wooden backdrop with hanging macramé curtains and the letter “E” created a themed corner for photos, with a bench decorated in blooms where guests could take pictures in different poses. The combination of thoughtful details, floral design, and personalized elements made Emeleia’s baptism a warm, elegant, and memorable celebration.
