This destination wedding celebrated the rich Greek heritage of bride Tania and the Ecuadorian roots of groom Anthony, bringing together family and friends from the United States on the stunning island of Rhodes. Originally planned in 2019, the couple’s vision was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but they approached every challenge with positivity, ultimately creating a deeply meaningful and joyous event.
The wedding took place on July 22, 2022, at St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church in Lindos, a breathtaking location overlooking the Aegean Sea and the Acropolis. The couple envisioned an elegant all-white celebration with accents of emerald green, silver, and black, reflecting their shared creativity and refined style. Guests were welcomed at the Princess Adriana Hotel, where preparations included personalized touches that highlighted attention to detail and luxury, from embroidered bridal pajamas to bespoke attire for the couple.
The ceremony and reception were carefully curated to combine cultural symbolism, sophistication, and memorable experiences. The reception at Mea Terra, a beachfront luxury venue, featured a bespoke 11-course tasting menu, elegant table designs, and personalized guest gifts, all set against the backdrop of the sea. The evening was marked by a flowing champagne tower, a minimalist wedding cake adorned with handmade sugar flowers, and fireworks, creating a truly celebratory and unforgettable atmosphere.
Captured by top photographers and cinematographers, the wedding reflected the couple’s vision, cultural pride, and attention to detail, showcasing Golden Apple Weddings and Kay Creations’ ability to execute an elegant, personalized, and world-class event.
