Designing A Colorful Wedding

From Soo Events -Sossan is from Afghanistan, and Nikos is from Greece, so we had a lot of cultural background to incorporate into their special day. We decided to blend the bright colors of an Afghan wedding, with the beautiful blues of the Aegean Sea and bougainvillea's bright fuchsia. Bougainvillea is considered a trademark of the Greek islands.

Since first impressions always count, we incorporated this colorful palette into the invitation suite. All the guests would get an idea of the wedding style as soon as they received them. Bold colors and brush strokes used by the talented stationery designer, Love Me Do. They created a very artistic and modern wedding invitation suite, vow booklets, menu cards and all the print material you see at the wedding.

Colorful Wedding Reception Ideas

The reception venue was held at the iconic restaurant, los Club. This Greece wedding reception venue has an amazing view of the island, which is popularly known for its gorgeous sunsets.

Bright colors were also incorporated into the wedding reception decor. Each table had a custom plexiglass table number on it.

WEDDING FAVORS

Sossan and Niko's guests found worry beads or kompoloi at their seats. These string of beads are a traditional Greek item and are used to pass time in Greek and Cypriot culture.

Magical Wedding Reception

The couple entered the reception venue around sunset time and was welcomed by a very enthusiastic crowd. After having dinner under the fairy light sky that we created for them, they cut their orange and coral brush stroke decorated wedding cake and danced until the morning hours with their friends.
