GINA ALEXIS

Romantic Floral Wedding in Portaria, Pelion | Γάμος στο Πήλιο

Nestled into the mountainous hidden gem of Greece, magical Pelion! A place where nature and tradition blend effortlessly, and every stone-paved path seems to whisper stories of the past. In the heart of this lush landscape, the wedding of Gina & Alexis in the picturesque village of Portaria was a breathtaking celebration of elegance, romance, and floral artistry. This destination wedding in Greece brought to life the nostalgic charm of old Pelion mansions, with refined vintage elements, soft hues, and a floral design that felt like a living fairytale. Returning from Cyprus to a place that held deep meaning for them, Gina and Alexis honored both heritage and heart in a setting that felt timeless.

The wedding ceremony took place at the fairytale-like church of Agii Anargyroi in Portaria. Built with authentic Pelion stone and timeless architecture, the church stood like a relic from a forgotten era, framed by blooming florals and the crisp mountain air. As Gina descended the stone steps, surrounded by loved ones, the scene felt as though it had been pulled from the pages of a romantic novel. Guests were welcomed by a dreamy flower arch, handcrafted with care and abundance, using a palette of romantic blush tones, soft peaches, antique rose, and dusty pinks. The arrangement featured a lush mix of David Austin roses, garden roses, sweet peas, and spray roses, harmoniously blended with seasonal greenery and delicate climbing jasmine. It framed the church entrance like a secret garden elegant, lush, and unforgettable.

This celebration perfectly captured the essence of a romantic wedding in Greece, blending local heritage with international sophistication. Guests from all over the world gathered for a three-day escape in the mountains, enjoying pre-wedding dinners, scenic walks, and moments of connection in the heart of the traditional village.

Every detail of their wedding was infused with emotion and thoughtful symbolism. The watercolor-inspired stationery featured illustrations of traditional Pelion mansions and a custom sketch of the very church where the ceremony took place. Florals in soft blush pink, peach and dusty rose created a romantic, vintage palette that reflected the bride’s vision perfectly.

The celebration continued at La Veranda, a beautiful stone terrace overlooking both mountains and sea an idyllic setting that perfectly reflected Gina and Alexis’ vision of elegance and authenticity.

As the sun began to set, the stone-paved venue transformed into a glowing wonderland wrapped in meters of fairylights setting the tone for a truly magical evening. Long wooden tables were styled with a refined art de la table concept: lush centerpieces of garden roses, lisianthus, cappuccino roses, and seasonal greenery arranged in antique-style and glass vases. The candlelight danced on the tableware and created an ambiance of softness and timeless charm. Tall golden candleholders and cascading amaranthus added depth and opulence, while candlelight danced across the tableware, creating an atmosphere of softness and timeless charm.
