The day began at the Grande Bretagne, where Ria prepared for her wedding while central Athens was heavily affected by a citywide strike that had closed major roads. Despite the unusual conditions, Anna-Maria Rogdaki coordinated the schedule with precision so that every part of the day could progress as planned.
Ria, originally from Lemnos, chose a refined and simple preparation style, with her personal bridal details arranged carefully and photographed in the hotel’s interior and balcony areas.

Ceremony at Agia Triada in Kifisia

The ceremony took place at Agia Triada in Kifisia, a church whose clean structure complemented the formal character of a military pilot wedding. Rogdaki Events designed a Christmas-inspired entrance in deep red and gold tones, giving the exterior a clear seasonal direction.
Tasos, a fighter pilot of the Hellenic Air Force, arrived in full uniform. The couple was welcomed by a coordinated honor detail, specifically organized for this wedding and aligned with the military protocol.

Logistics and Coordination Under Challenging Conditions

Due to the strike and restrictions across the city, every transfer required accurate timing. Anna-Maria Rogdaki planned all movements for the couple, the photography team and the vendors so that everyone arrived on schedule at both the church and LAED.
This level of coordination was essential for maintaining a stable flow throughout the day.

Christmas Styling at the Armed Forces Officers Club (LAED)

The reception at LAED followed a structured Christmas direction. Rogdaki Events created designs in deep red and gold, using red roses, gold candelabras and carefully organized table layouts that matched the venue’s formal identity.
The styling was built on clear lines, seasonal color consistency and measured decorative choices that supported the overall concept of the wedding.

Details Reflecting the Groom’s Military Career

Elements related to Tasos’s profession as a fighter pilot were included with discretion. Uniform pieces, symbolic military details and specific ceremonial moments were incorporated in a way that respected both the Christmas theme and the formal character of the venue.

A Wedding Built on Defined Structure and Practical Execution

From the morning preparations at the Grande Bretagne to the final arrival at LAED, the wedding followed a well-defined structure supported by practical decisions and accurate coordination. With the particular conditions of the day and the operational character of LAED, Rogdaki Events, under the guidance of Anna-Maria Rogdaki, organized each stage with accuracy, reflecting the couple’s needs and the specific requirements of a military wedding across both locations.
