“Her eyes are pure stars, and her fingers, if they touch you, freeze you to the bone”
– Virginia Woolf, Orlando

“The concept of love is something universal. More so, the people we choose to love and create memories with, do not understand borders, forms and social conventions. Love is love.

Fondo Special Occasions underlines how the choices and manifestations of love can be elegant and certainly beautiful and memorable. Moreover, this editorial photoshoot takes inspiration from the love story of two historic women, Virginia Woolf and her lover Vita Sackville-West. The whole set up and art direction has a vintage feeling or in other words, a ghost-like aesthetic. Therefore, it’s an ode to the romantic past with a modern twist.

The beautiful building, constructed in 1919, is the best backdrop for an exceptionally realized love and marriage story. Furthermore, the neutral color pallets, with shades of beige, off whites and greys, accentuate the down to earth, simple yet elegant aesthetics of the event.

However, true to the spirit of this historic love story, the invitations use the lunaria flower on weathered paper. A reference to the love letters the two women sent to each other for years. That is to create a romantic, almost ritualistic tone for all the wedding guests.

Natural materials like ceramic vases and plates set the table, with linen cloths, crystal glasses and pure white candles complimenting and completing the whole concept. Above all, the mindset of everything elegant, beautiful and naturalistic.

Beautiful branches are a reference to the “still life” art form. Furthermore, the shocking white lunaria flower and the majestic pampas grass, compose the flower arrangements that decorate the eventful evening. However, lunaria and the scene-stealing berenklauw, an oversized dandelion, were chosen for the bridal bouquets.

In addition, the two beautiful brides were wear flowing ethereal chiffon and silk gowns. The dresses show the natural curves of the appealing female physique, consequently highlighting the charming and seductive nature of women. Which is certainly celebrated in this specific wedding inspiration.

Above all, an event that underlines love and the intertwining of femininity, elegance and naturalism.”

“Love, the poet said, is woman’s whole existence”

FROM THE BRIDE:

“Brad and I knew each other through a group of mutual friends. But the sparks didn’t fully register until a group trip to Santa Cruz for New Year’s 2016. The day after the trip he emailed me and asked if I’d like to go on a date. And we’ve been together ever since. He proposed last February. He told me to pack my bags and we went on a long hike along the Point Reyes Coastal Trail. We checked into our BnB overlooking the ocean. It was on that porch he got down on one knee and said: “Before we do anything else I just need to know one thing – will you marry me?”. After many happy tears and hugs, we went down to the beach and made a bonfire. We finished the night with a romantic dinner at the Pelican Inn nearby.

The best moment of our elegant chic elopement was exchanging our vows. We had done a small ceremony in San Francisco just days before we flew to Greece. Then we incorporated the traditional vows. Santorini was the first time we had a chance to express our personal vows to one another. And doing so in this breathtaking setting was such an impactful moment.

About this Hellenic Chic Elopement

Largely inspired by the stunning Greek Cyclades, I wanted to embrace the natural surroundings, so we stuck to a palate of white, off-white, light blue, grey and green. I wanted my outfit to draw from ancient or traditional Greek styles and chose a dress with delicate drapery and gold-toned accessories.

Once we decided to do the wedding in Greece, we only had about 2 months to get everything in order. I simultaneously started shopping online, made one appointment with a local dress shop and a tailoring appointment. After trying on a few options, the one that I purchased online was it. It’s by Maria Lucia Hohan and with a few tailoring modifications, ended up being the perfect dress. I love how it flowed in the wind.”
