Inside a Spectacular Wedding at Dana Villas in Santorini: 10th Anniversary Celebration
On a quiet evening in Santorini, with the caldera glowing and waves murmuring below, a love story ten years in the making came alive. Emmanuel and Emma Kamonou chose to celebrate their 10th anniversary in the most enchanting way: a wedding at Dana Villas in Santorini. Nestled in the charming village of Firostefani, their vow renewal was intimate, heartfelt, and full of meaning.
From the very first conversation, it was clear their love story deserved a day that felt truly theirs. Surrounded by gorgeous caldera views and the warm glow of the evening sun, every moment was carefully woven to capture joy, laughter, and quiet connection.
What made it even more special was sharing this milestone with their children, who stood by their side and filled the day with an extra layer of warmth and love. Emmanuel and Emma’s wedding wasn’t just an event. It was a celebration of a decade of love, wrapped in the beauty and magic of Santorini.
Intimate, Elegant, and Iconic: Dana Villas Wedding
Perched above Firostefani, Dana Villas offered Emma and Emmanuel the perfect backdrop for their 10th-anniversary vow renewal. The caldera stretched beneath them, the Aegean Sea glimmered, and the sun began its golden descent. Every glance and every laugh was framed by the villa’s whitewashed walls and soft, romantic terraces.
The couple chose an 18:00 ceremony, ensuring the golden hour would cast warm, unforgettable light over the celebration. For the couple, the venue’s quiet elegance allowed the focus to remain on their family and loved ones. Seeing their children so involved brought an added layer of closeness, enriching the celebration naturally. From the small details —the bridal room moments before the ceremony, or the cozy corners of the terrace— to the sweeping panoramic views, every element quietly elevated their day without stealing attention from the love they were celebrating.
In this setting, their wedding at Dana Villas in Santorini felt deeply personal, serene, and utterly magical. Proof that sometimes the right venue is not about grandeur, but about how it allows a couple’s story to shine.
10 Years Together: The Heartfelt Ceremony at Dana Villas
As the golden light bathed the caldera, Emmanuel and Emma stood beneath an arch of delicate white blooms, crowned with a chandelier that glistened in the evening sun. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple renewed their vows in a heartfelt ceremony that celebrated not only a decade of love but also the family they had built together.
The ceremony began with a tender procession. Their children walked side-by-side down the aisle, scattering petals and bringing a gentle, intimate energy to the moment. Following them, Emmanuel entered with quiet elegance, and Emma’s arrival radiated ethereal beauty, perfectly complementing the magical setting.
The terrace reflected the couple’s refined vision. White chairs with pristine cushions, provided by Maison Trilogy, lined the aisle, framed by soft rose petals leading to a romantic floral arrangement by Montago. Clusters of white roses and baby’s breath, combined with flowing white drapes and subtle string lights arranged by Santorini Wonderland, created an airy, timeless, and intimate atmosphere. Every detail —from Caper Catering’s elegant touches to the careful seating and décor— enhanced the elegance without overshadowing the love at the center of the celebration.
The ceremony unfolded during golden hour, when the light enhances photographs and adds warmth to the day. From the couple’s quiet moments in the bridal suite to the soft music drifting across the terrace, every element came together seamlessly. A Santorini vow renewal can be both elegant and deeply personal when crafted with care.
Preserving Love Stories Through Lens and Light
No wedding in Santorini is complete without the artistry of timeless photography and film. Phosart, one of the island’s leading Santorini wedding photographers and videographers, captured tender glances, bursts of laughter, and those unforgettable sunset embraces and family moments. Their lens turned fleeting moments into lifelong memories, from the delicate flowers in Emma’s bouquet to the harmonious elegance of the champagne tower, a symbol of abundance, togetherness, and joy.
Entertainment also played a graceful role. As music blended with the glow of twilight, guests felt both joy and intimacy. The married couple opened the dance floor with a first dance that was equal parts elegant and full of energy, a dip that drew cheers and smiles from everyone around. Multimedia, in charge of DJ and lighting, ensured the perfect balance between rhythm, mood, and ambiance.
Sparkling chandeliers, fairy lights, and the glow of the pool created a cinematic atmosphere that felt both modern and timeless. Later, Skylight’s ground fireworks created a spectacular eye-catching display, adding a touch of grandeur without stealing focus from the couple’s love.
For couples planning their celebration, timing the music with sunset or fireworks is a subtle yet powerful way to enhance the emotional flow of the day.
Elegance Redefined: Bridal and Groom Attire at Dana Villas
A wedding at Dana Villas is not complete without style that reflects timeless romance. Emma’s bridal look combined ethereal beauty with sophistication. Her strapless lace gown, adorned with delicate floral appliqués, flowed into a full tulle skirt, creating a silhouette both dreamy and elegant. A bouquet of crisp white blooms added softness, while her voluminous waves, styled by Jozefina, framed her face with effortless grace. A sparkling hairpiece completed the look, catching the Santorini light with every movement.
Emmanuel’s attire was equally refined. He wore a satin-textured white jacket, paired with tailored black trousers and a classic bow tie. Glossy shoes and polished details gave his outfit a modern yet timeless edge. Together, the couple’s coordinated style echoed their love story, romantic, chic, and perfectly in tune with the serene elegance of Santorini.
For couples planning their own celebration, remember: simplicity in accessories often enhances, rather than distracts, from the overall bridal look.
