For an elegant and romantic air to your wedding, a Grecian-style day might be the way to go. You can feel like a Greek goddess in airy, flowing fabrics, with delicate gold adornments and accessories.
For a Greek goddess look, there are countless styles of wedding dress to choose from, from the simple to the intricate. Every year, designers introduce their latest collections and if it’s not a fully Grecian collection, it has certain styles that allude to the Ancient world with light fabrics that catch the air and column shapes that highlight your figure. Consider Theia’s gowns, the design how literally named after the Greek goddess of light. And with established Irish designer, Don O’Neill at the helm, you can’t go far wrong. Jenny Packham also doesn’t shy away from the flowing fabrics for that Greek goddess look, but not without adding a touch of adornment.
If you’re looking for the hair of a Greek goddess, then loose, soft curls and plaits are the way to go. If you want to swap out your veil for some other hair accessories, headbands are the perfect accessory for any Greek goddess on her wedding day. Opt for an olive leaf wreath, or go for a gold headband for a touch of luxury.
To pull off a Greek themed wedding, it’s a good idea to inject a lot of olive leaves into your flowers, and your décor. They can even feature in the design of your stationery for that instant Greek feel. A good colour scheme to go by is white, olive green and of course, gold. The Greeks were known for their luxury and gold adornments, and why should your wedding be any different?
