A bride in a lace-paneled ivory gown and a groom in a black velvet tuxedo embrace and smile at each other in front of a wooden double door, framed by towering floral arches of deep red roses, burgundy hydrangeas, cream roses and green hydrangeas. The bride holds a bouquet of red peonies and dark foliage. This is a wedding flower display at Agreco Farm in Greece, with a warm, romantic mood.

A couple shares a kiss beneath a sweeping wedding arch at Lake Vouliagmeni in Greece, framed by flowers that fade from blush pink roses and dusky lilac hydrangeas on the left to burnt orange roses and soft yellow blooms on the right. Trailing eucalyptus and greenery wind through the curve, and white roses and hydrangeas fill the base. The bride, in a fitted lace gown with a long veil, leans in while the groom in a navy suit holds her close, and a smiling man in a light blue suit claps beside them against a soft pink rocky backdrop.

A bride and groom stand smiling together in front of a pair of tall flower arches of red and orange roses, dahlias and gladioli, with pink blooms, green hydrangeas and white dahlias woven through trailing branches. Two white Doric columns frame the scene, with a stone balustrade and the blue Mediterranean sea behind them under a pale sky. The wedding flowers, arranged for a garden ceremony at Wine Dark Sea Villas in Rodia, Crete, Greece, glow warmly in the sunlight.

A bride in a long, backless white satin gown with full sleeves stands with her hand resting on the back of a bentwood chair, gazing down a narrow, industrial hall in Rethimno, Crete, Greece. Beside her, a long table is dressed in white linen and set with rows of pillar candles in glass hurricanes and white flowers, including roses and hydrangeas. Overhead, tubes of cool white light and a soft blue wash contrast with the warm candlelight and the weathered concrete walls.

A bride in a softly structured ivory gown with a long, flowing train stands with her back to the camera in a vast, shadowy industrial hall, gazing down a long table lit by clusters of tall white candles and clear glass vases of pale blooms. Above the table hangs a large pink-peach paper lantern shaped like an open flower, and clear ghost chairs line the table. This wedding table styling is set in Rethimno, Crete, Greece.

Seen from above, a bride in a strapless satin gown with a long train and a row of covered buttons down the back walks across a wide green lawn towards a round dark-green platform. On it stand tall, draped white forms and mounds of hydrangeas in pale green, cream and burgundy, while olive trees and misty mountains rise behind her at Ktima Roxani Estate in Crete, Greece, a wedding installation of green-toned flowers.

A bride and groom share a kiss in a wash of pink smoke in front of a rose-coloured wall with a wooden door and lanterns, at a wedding in Greece. The bride, in a lace gown with a deep V neckline, holds a bouquet of blush garden roses, white blooms and trailing green eucalyptus. The groom wears a navy suit with a white boutonniere, and a smiling bridesmaid in a pale blue dress watches from the left.

A bride and groom share a tender forehead-to-forehead embrace in front of a pale wooden door in a peach-washed building in Greece, framed by tall floral installations of pink roses, pale blue hydrangeas, white dahlias and delphiniums with candles in glass cylinders at their feet. The groom wears a dark suit and the bride a white gown with a lace-sleeved, off-the-shoulder bodice and a pearl-studded headband, styled as a wedding photograph.

A bride in a white strapless gown walks away from the camera along a long, candlelit wedding table under a glass-roofed marquee strung with fairy lights. Beneath her, low wedding flowers run the length of the table: clusters of pink garden roses, tall lavender delphinium spires, and deep red blooms, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the arched frame overhead. The wedding flowers are arranged at Island Club & Restaurant in Vari, Athens, Greece.

A bride in a white gown with a ruffled skirt and sheer puffed sleeves leans into a groom in a cream suit, the two embracing in front of a tall white draped arch. The white fabric stands on a raised white platform, framed by feathery grasses, dark green foliage and clusters of white blooms in the foreground, with a wide blue sky behind.

A circular orange-toned stage set on a green lawn at Crete Golf Club in Chersonisos, Greece, holds four dense clusters of pink and deep rose flowers, most likely hydrangeas and garden roses. Two tall mounds rise at the back on either side of a small gold table bearing candles and ceremonial items, while two lower clusters sit at the front corners. Hills dry and golden in the late light rise behind, under a clear blue sky, making this a sculptural wedding ceremony setting in Greece.

A bride in a white satin gown with a deep side slit raises a white rose and foliage bouquet high in one hand, while her groom in a white dinner jacket with black lapels holds her other hand and smiles beside her. They walk down a white aisle lined with tall white delphinium and stock-like blooms and dark greenery, with rows of clear acrylic chairs beyond. This wedding aisle on a clifftop terrace at Cavo Ventus Luxury Villa in Santorini, Greece, opens onto a soft grey sky and the calm sea.

A bride in a flowing white ballgown with a long train and her hair in a soft low bun stands close to a groom in a dark suit, foreheads almost touching, on a glass walkway above an infinity pool at Aenaon Villas in Santorini, Greece. Clusters of white hydrangeas sit along the edges of the glass path, and the pool water reflects the pale sky. Behind them the sea fades into hazy hills in warm golden sunset light, making this a wedding moment of quiet intimacy.

A groom in a dark suit and glasses dips his bride backwards as they kiss beneath a pale blue sky, her raised arm holding a bouquet of cream roses, white blooms and sprigs of green foliage. Behind them a tall column of white and pale yellow flowers rises beside a grey stone arch, part of the wedding ceremony decor at Dream Art Villa in Schisma Elountas, Crete, Greece. Her long white veil drifts in the breeze, and more yellow flowers sit along the glossy floor.

A man in a crimson satin coat with white lace cuffs reaches up to adjust a sprig of branches in a styled wedding table setting at a workshop in Russia. Around him, tall gold frames hold cascades of garden roses in red, peach and apricot, mauve hydrangea, dark grapes, and yellow forsythia and mimosa, with bright tulips and daffodils on the right. A melon, green grapes, a glass decanter and candles sit on the table below in warm, golden-toned light.
