Athenian Riviera Romance: Intimate Micro Wedding at The Margi Hotel
Visualizing a modern-day love story, Ivy Event Design dreamed up an ultra-romantic micro wedding set in one of Athens’ most stylish hideaways, The Margi Hotel. Nestled in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, this iconic boutique hotel sets the perfect stage for an intimate wedding celebration. Infused with personal touches, evolving aesthetics, and endless style.
This editorial captures the essence of a destination micro wedding as a weekend getaway for two. A private celebration of love, connection, and timeless romance. As the day unfolds, so does the narrative: from light and playful moments under the sun to the glamorous magic of a candlelit dinner. Each chapter of this love story is set against the hotel’s charming, lesser-known corners that lend a cinematic air to the couple’s stylish escape.
The alfresco wedding lunch: Modern Romance Meets Mediterranean Style
For the al fresco wedding lunch, Ivy Event Design embraced the hotel’s earthy tones and tranquil terrace vibes to craft a laid-back yet elevated boho chic atmosphere. The table styling is a visual feast. Mismatched ceramics, soft and bold pastels, hand-tied napkin rings, and vintage horn-rimmed silverware create an artistic tablescape full of texture and personality. The pastel florals echo the hotel’s sun-kissed façade. While the blue patterned china and nautical-striped tablecloth add a splash of Mediterranean charm.
Our bride is glowing in a romantic bridal gown by Greek designer Anem. Formed by a dainty romper and sheer skirt that sways with the breeze. While our dashing groom complements her look with a sleek gris argent tux. Bringing a touch of cool sophistication to the scene.
As the sun dips lower, the vibe shifts to aperitivo hour, flirty, fun, and utterly stylish. The bride slips into a bold satin yellow mini with an oversized bow, a look that feels playful and fashion-forward. Together, they toast with champagne and indulge in oysters and caviar, soaking in the golden hour glow.
Formal Dinner Celebration: Old-Money Glamour Under the Stars
For the grand finale, the celebration turns formal with an old-money inspired dinner under the stars. Ivy Event Design weaves together draped textures, soft candlelight, and opulent details for a dreamy, high-style setting. The table is adorned with statuesque floral arrangements that mix traditional blooms, like anthuriums, hydrangeas, and roses, with unexpected bursts of bright green fruits and delicate pearls. Fine stationery, luxurious linens, and an ethereal glow complete the mood.
The bride stuns once again, this time in a slinky, backless silk gown reminiscent of vintage lingerie. And for the afterparty moment? A bold transformation into a green tulle mini dress signals it’s time for the martini tower finale. A sparkling, joy-filled end to a day that was nothing short of magical.
This micro wedding inspiration at The Margi Athenian Hotel is a masterclass in stylish intimacy. Proving that when love takes center stage, even the smallest celebrations can feel grand.
