Kerstin & Erik

When Kerstin first reached out, her request seemed straightforward: she wanted to get married on the beach where she spent her childhood summers. However, this turned out to be quite an undertaking, as the beach was a remote spot on the southern coast of Crete with very challenging access.

Despite suggesting some more easily managed locations, Kerstin was resolute. This place held deep personal significance for her. Knowing how much a truly personalized wedding means, I embarked on planning what would be one of my most demanding events yet.

The wedding was a beautiful testament to Kerstin and Erik's love, and also to Kerstin's lifelong connection to Crete. Here are a few highlights from their stunning day:

The Venue: Iliggas Beach, a secluded jewel in Crete, provided an incredibly natural and awe-inspiring setting for their beachfront ceremony, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and pristine waters.
The Aesthetic: A boho-rustic style, incorporating earthy colors and organic materials, was chosen to enhance the raw beauty of Crete. This included a lovely wooden arch decorated with olive branches and neutral-toned flowers.
Greek Tradition: The reception featured a delicious, authentic spread of traditional Cretan and Greek dishes, hosted at a charming, family-owned taverna right on the beach. The couple and their guests enjoyed dancing under the soft glow of string lights.
The Personal Touch: This location held extra significance for Kerstin and Erik, as it was the very beach where Eric had proposed to her, a place filled with childhood memories for Kerstin.
