Per & Konstantinos’ elopement included apart from unconditional love, a whimsical design with a festive mood and an adventurous set up to exchange vows in the middle of waterfalls, while nature gave lavishly all her beauty through the season’s winter colors.
Their elopement took place at historical Papingo of Zagorohoria in North Greece. It’s a complex of villages that consist one of the greatest winter destinations with a breathtaking landscape. The village of Papingo is located very near the northern end of the Vikos Gorge and is inside the Vikos–Aoös National Park, the largest canyon in Greece and arguably in all of Europe. It is surrounded by deciduous forests and topped by the snowcapped Astraka peak of Mt Tymphe, that towers over the village.
The story took place in the interior of Avragonio resort, a traditional and picturesque resort with a high-leveled architectural design and a magnificent view, located in the edge of Astraka peak.
The concept for the design was to create a fanciful set up with a festive mood giving prominence to harmonious contrasts. Opposite to the grey of the buildings slates, the winter colors of the surroundings as well the traditional culture of the location, we created a whimsical, out of the box stationery suite based on paisley pattern, with a vivid and modern color combo based on emerald green, magenta, rust orange, yellow and fuchsia.
In one the most distinctive backyards in Greece, topped by the snowcapped peaks, with a festive mood, an eclectic decorative styling, we set up an outside, dreamy table for two, designing a sweet brunch consisted of sophisticated florals and objects and an exquisite variety of tarts and fruits.
Konstantinos and Per indulged their privacy enjoying the scenery, drinking hot chocolate and champagne while the prepared themselves the desserts through the interactive set up of materials. Brownies, tarts , melted chocolate in fondue, fresh fruits and a variety of little pastry goods waited for them to be tasted. Highlight of the tableware! The custom printed tablecloth, the mini discoballs as personal Christmas gifts for each one and the impressive pop colors derived from the sophisticated floral arrangements .
Before the brunch, they had the chance to spent some time in front of the fireplace and walk around the picturesque paths, while a silk scarf printed with their own custom stationery design, consisted the surprise gift and the invitation to exchange vows.
After the brunch, they moved to the rocky waterfall to realise their private ceremony in an impressive scenery with a rainbow floral arch to be suspended over the river. Wilderness of the landscape gave place to strong emotions of pure and unconditional love and the result is mesmerizing!
