Leslie and Eve, May 2019

“We met in 2016 in Sunderland and have been together since. We want our wedding to capture the views of Santorini and to be very laid back…”

Living over 300 miles apart, distance was not a burden to slow down Eve and Leslie’s romance. Since they met, they soon settled down in the northeast of England and after a romantic proposal at The Dome in Edinburgh, began to plan their life together.

For both, the most vital factor for their wedding day was a breath-taking backdrop, and a party of very close family and friends to celebrate together. Influenced by social media, Dana Villas Santorini and Divine Weddings, brought all of Eve’s wanderlust wedding dreams to life.

Their dream came true on 22/5/2019, when Leslie had tears in his eyes as he watched Eve come down the aisle to join him under a floral canopy in pastel blue colors, in her Ronald Joyce gown.

Ceremony time was so emotional for the couple and their guests, especially in vows time. After that, a toasting time with champagne took part at the lovely wedding terrace, accompanied with finger foods.

Later, the couple left for a photo shooting around the island, during sunset time.

After couples’ entrance to the reception area, their amazing day finished with a very romantic dinner, prepared by the executive experts of Dana Villas & an unforgettable party, dancing till late in the night.
