Sophia and Joe, a couple from the UK, had a truly magical destination wedding in Corfu, embracing the island’s natural beauty with a chic and elegant celebration.

The couple’s ceremony took place at the picturesque Pontikonissi Church, a quaint, whitewashed chapel located on a small, lush island - Mouse Island. Guests were ferried to the church by boat, adding to the sense of adventure and romance. The ceremony’s décor was kept natural and elegant, with a color palette of olive green, white, and neutral tones, blending perfectly with the surrounding nature. The olive branches symbolized peace and longevity, while white florals added timeless sophistication.

After the ceremony, the guests sailed to Kalami Bay for the reception at Thomas Place, a traditional Greek taverna set right by the sea. The taverna, known for its authentic charm, was transformed into an elegant yet relaxed reception venue. Long tables were set up outdoors, overlooking the bay, adorned with neutral-toned linens, olive branch centerpieces, and soft white florals. The couple and their guests enjoyed a luxurious dinner featuring the best of Greek cuisine, including fresh seafood, local olive oil, and Mediterranean delicacies, giving the reception a warm, communal feel.

As the sun set, the party came alive by the sea. Guests danced under the stars, with the waves gently lapping in the background. To top off the evening, an incredible fireworks display lit up the sky, reflecting off the water and providing a breathtaking finale to the night’s celebrations.

The entire event was flawlessly coordinated by Rosmarin Weddings and we perfectly blended the couple’s vision of chic elegance with Corfu’s natural beauty. From the intimate ceremony at Pontikonissi Church to the relaxed yet sophisticated reception at Thomas Place, every detail was thoughtfully designed to reflect Sophia and Joe’s style.

Their wedding was a harmonious mix of natural elegance and luxury, offering an unforgettable experience that celebrated both their love and the enchanting charm of Corfu.
