Secluded Paradise: Andreea and Vlad's Dream Wedding on Ios Island


So much goes into planning a wedding, it's a shame it only lasts a day...well, it doesn't have to! More and more couples are turning their destination weddings into mini-vacations for themselves and their guests, and we love the idea! Not only will it make the trip worth your while, but you'll feel better about spending the money on the experience as a whole. It's always easier to spend money on a vacation than it is to spend the same amount on a party.

Andreea and Vlad's destination micro-wedding in Greece, designed by the talented team at FS Events, will convince you that a multi-day vacay is the way to go! This couple rented the Cycladic Gem Villa, a stunning villa nestled on the secluded paradise of Ios Island, where they and their guests could stay. Together they explored the day before the wedding, immersing themselves in the island's breathtaking beauty.

When the big day arrived, everyone was already relaxing in paradise and merely had to step outside to the stunning ceremony setup. Moustakis Flower Company worked their magic, incorporating the boho theme into all of the floral arrangements, including the half-moon ceremony arch that beautifully framed the smooth blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
