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.

The arches are packed with red and coral garden roses, orange ranunculus, pink hydrangeas, pale dahlias and sprays of green foliage. The groom wears a grey suit and the bride a flowing white gown, holding a bouquet of red and cream blooms, with the sea glimmering behind a stone balustrade under a clear sky.

A bride in a long white satin gown with sculpted sleeves and an open back stands beside a long table in a converted industrial hall, her hair in a low bun and her hand resting on a bentwood chair. The table is dressed in white linens and set with clusters of white roses, hydrangeas, calla lilies and fern, with rows of candles glowing in glass holders. This is a wedding table in Rethimno, Crete, Greece, lit by tube lights overhead and a soft blue wash on the tall metal tanks behind her.

A bride with a short dark bob, seen from behind in an off-shoulder ivory gown with a long flowing train, gazes toward a rugged concrete hall lit by warm spotlights. On the left, a long table laid for a wedding dinner runs beneath a large glowing peach-coloured flower-shaped lantern, with clusters of white blooms and tall candles in glass vases and clear chairs.

A bride in a strapless white satin gown with covered buttons down her back walks across a sweep of green lawn toward a round dark-green platform. On it stand tall sculptural arrangements of white draped fabric and clusters of green-and-burgundy hydrangeas, with a spiky green foliage piece and two young trees beside them. This wedding flower installation at Roxani Estate in Greece has a calm, garden-like mood, shot from above.

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 strapless white satin gown with a full skirt walks away from the camera, past a long outdoor wedding table set beneath three crystal chandeliers. Along its edge, tall purple delphinium spires rise above drifts of pink garden roses, and clusters of deep red bougainvillea and tall grasses frame her path on the green lawn. This is a wedding table at Island Athens Riviera in Greece, with glassware and candles glowing in the dusk.

A bride and groom embrace closely on a white draped platform beneath a tall, white fabric arch at a wedding at Gramvousa Restaurant in Greece. He wears a cream suit and suede shoes, and she wears a white gown with ruffled organza skirts and a soft puffed sleeve, her eyes closed as she leans into him. Surrounding them are green foliage, feathery grasses, and cream dahlias in the foreground, with a hillside and distant sea under a soft blue sky.

Two tall, cascading mounds of pink hydrangeas and deep rose-red blooms flank a small gold-legged table holding a cross, candles and a glass carafe, all set on a tiered orange stage on a green lawn at Crete Golf Club in Crete, Greece. Smaller low clusters of hot pink roses and pale pink hydrangeas sit at the stage's front corners, and in the warm late-afternoon light, the whole wedding ceremony setup glows against the dry brown hills behind.

A bride in a voluminous satin ballgown with a long train and a low chignon stands forehead to forehead with her groom in a dark suit, on a glass platform above an infinity pool at sunset.

A couple shares a dramatic dip-and-kiss beneath a clear blue sky, the bride's arm raised high and still holding her bouquet of greenery and pale stems.

A bride and groom stand hand in hand facing each other beneath a wedding arch at Nuez Villa in Greece, their gazes locked in a quiet moment. The arch is woven with white phalaenopsis orchids, peach-toned roses, deep burgundy foliage and wispy sprigs, and the sea glows pale behind them.
