Stacey & Colleen’s Bold & Romantic Wedding at El Viento
Some weddings whisper elegance. Others are bold and romantic to their core. Stacey and Colleen’s same-sex destination wedding in Santorini was the latter. Bold, stylish, deeply romantic and crafted with care by Marvellous Wedding. The couple had a clear vision from the start. They wanted a celebration that showed their personalities and love. They also wanted to highlight the beautiful setting of Santorini. From the first email to when they said “I do,” every detail was managed with care.
Stylish, Striking and Unapologetically Themselves
Stacey and Colleen made a statement that mirrored their bond. Both brides chose to wear black, defying tradition with modern elegance. Colleen stunned in a sleek, all-black jumpsuit that radiated confidence. Her crisp white pumps added a playful, effortless twist that caught the eye. Stacey wore a graceful black dress adorned with silver details, sparkling softly under the Santorini sun. Together, their look was bold, contemporary and utterly romantic. As they stood side by side, against the whitewashed backdrop of El Viento and the endless blue beyond, the contrast was breathtaking.
El Viento as the most Romantic Wedding Venue
Set high above the Aegean Sea, El Viento offers one of the most iconic views in Santorini. It’s a venue that speaks to the soul—with its charming windmill, soft stone walls and panoramic caldera vistas. Marvellous Wedding, with over a decade of wedding planning experience in Santorini, knew this venue would be perfect for them. And it was. It became the center of their celebration. Almost 30 dear guests came together to see their love grow in a setting as timeless as their bond.
Blooms That Brought Joy to Every Corner
The wedding was truly brought to life by the floral arrangements. Bloom de Fleur crafted a vibrant and joyful combination of spring and summer colors, with rich greens mingling with warm oranges, vivid yellows, and bold magentas. The ceremony arch burst with colour, framing the couple with nature’s warmth and energy. Their bouquets echoed the same hues. It was playful but sophisticated, lively & romantic. A floral dream that created an atmosphere of joy and celebration that wrapped around the couple and their guests like sunshine.
A Reception Under the Stars
As day turned to dusk, the celebration moved to a beautifully set reception table that felt like a midsummer night’s dream. Marvellous Wedding styled the table with warm orange colors. They added delicate flower arrangements for a nice pop of color.
Above the table, fairy lights danced gently in the breeze. They twinkled softly as if the stars had come early just to bless the evening. Behind the newlyweds, glowing marquee letters spelled out a single word: LOVE. It sparkled in the background, a perfect reminder of what the day was all about. The atmosphere was intimate and heartwarming. Guests toasted under the lights, shared stories and embraced in the golden glow of Santorini’s evening light.
Sweet Moments and Sweeter Cake
The wedding cake was a showstopper. Crafted by Petranart, it was both a visual and culinary delight. With tiers of chocolate and vanilla, it offered a treat for every palate. The piece had two small floral bouquets in the same happy colors as the wedding. It was just as important to the design as the decor. When Stacey and Colleen cut the cake, laughter and cheers echoed through the night. A moment of sweetness existed, in feeling and in taste.
The Art of Capturing Emotion in a Romantic Wedding
Kimonas, the photographer entrusted with capturing the day, did so with a quiet brilliance. With a natural yet editorial eye, he immortalized the raw, unfiltered moments. Stacey and Colleen holding hands during the vows, smiles exchanged mid-toast, quiet glances beneath the lights. Though there was no videographer, the photographs told a vivid story on their own. Each image feels like a love letter to the day.
