When we got the good news from Bridal Expo to organize an after-show bridal party at their VIP hall, we were over the moon and couldn’t believe our ears!
What about this Neon Heart Arch by The Letter Co. for your wedding or party?
The planning and the search for the perfect theme began immediately and thankfully we had the right creative minds on board!
The idea was to combine elements of marriage, love and bridal fashion to create a fun yet glamorous experience for all brides, celebrities, influencers, designers and wedding professionals alike!
This was a huge project and we did it with flair and style!
First and foremost we would like to thank from the bottom of our hearts to all who joined the team and help us create this party!
We always say that the party is only as good as the entertainment! And our DJ George Kouzas, one of the top DJs in Athens made sure that we are all enjoying his beats. He was keeping the good music going till the early hours! But surely, without the team of Mix Mix Sound and Light we would not have any party! They came and set up the whole construction, provided us with all the sound, lights and structure for our fantastic #tunneloflove. This party was true teamwork at its finest and nothing was too difficult for them!
After the good news, we quickly started working to develop the concept. The idea for the whole party theme from head to toe was designed and styled by Anna-Jill of Kiss from Fleur. Working closely with us, was also Bobbie from Sand and Lace Events. We had to organize the whole thing from scratch in just a few months while dealing with the holiday and Christmas season. However, we felt so much creative energy which kept us going! And whit the help of all the amazing vendors who joined our team, we believe we managed to create the best party of the year! See the full list with links, at the end of this page.
Party time!
Our Ellwed party was on the first day of the Bridal Expo, and after the Atelier Zolotas show at the Athens Bridal Fashion Week in the historic building of Zappeion and it went on throughout the night! While our DJ kept the spirits high, The Moving Spirits made sure the gorgeous and fun cocktails keep flowing. Decorated with customized printables by Party and Co, cotton candy, flowers, fruits and molecular gastronomy caviar made on the spot, these customized cocktails were the hit! Valia from Party and Co also created our love-themed cocktail signs, all printables, such as party crew badges, and wonderful unique gifts for all guests!
We were lucky to have found our wonderful hostesses or entertainers with flair and so much personality (you can see them almost in every photo). They made sure everyone gets to taste gorgeous love-themed delicious cupcakes, strawberry meringue “kisses” and “kiss me” cakes all handmade specially for our party by wonderful Tonia from Buttermilk Patisserie. We are not exaggerating to say that these were some of the best quality cakes and sweets we have ever tasted! If you are getting married and need a quality, delicious and beautiful cake or sweets, then Buttermilk Patisserie are your best choice! Go for a trial and be the judge.
Our Decor
The whole idea came together because of teamwork. Some of the top professionals who worked for months on making the vision come to light! The Letter Co created the doorway heart to our Tunnel of Love and all the signs of the party to keep it lit up and shiny. And what honor was to see our custom-made Ellwed sign for the first time in hot pink neon!
On top, The Balloon Idea worked hard to do all our balloon constructions. They provided all the fun pink and silver shiny metal balloons that were incorporated with the enchanted silver party forest created by RedBoxDays Florals. Kostas, the head florist, made sure the trees were lush and shiny. Painted in mirror silver and lametta hanging decor. A crucial part of the full image and the look of the party. Inside our tunnel of love, you could find iPhotoBooth. Perfect to strike a pose with props and take memorable printouts to cherish the moments. And for comfort, Loizos House Rentals provided us with tables and wedding rentals.
When Bobbie from Sand and Lace Events had the idea of a cover booth press wall, we immediately fell in love with it and just had to make it happen at all cost! We wanted this to be a fun experience for all. Everyone had so much fun posing inside this Cover Star Photo Boot, which made everyone feel like they are on the cover or Ellwed magazine. With Anna’s help, of Kiss from Fleur, we managed to make it glamorous with lots of silver shiny foil and all the lametta to have fun!
You should always think of an interactive element when designing your party!
At the End
We cannot forget the amazing team of Christina Vardali Photography. They were on every corner to capture all the sides, moments and details of this party! And of course our fashion photographer and videographer George Stratigis with Mariflor! They covered all the catwalks and created this high fashion artistic video of our party to remember forever!
