In a celebration that merged the charm of Australia with the enchantment of Greece, Rania and Kristian embarked on their journey of love with a destination wedding in the picturesque city of Patra.
The majestic Saint Andrew’s Church, the third-largest church in Europe, served as the sacred backdrop for their Orthodox ceremony. Rania and Kristian exchanged vows, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Greek architecture.
Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at the Omega Yacht Club, where the shimmering waters of the Ionian Sea provided a breathtaking setting for their dinner and reception. Amidst the sea breeze and starlit sky, guests indulged in sumptuous Greek cuisine and raised their glasses to the newlyweds.
Central to the décor were white hydrangeas and orchids, meticulously chosen by the bride to complement the coastal charm of the venue. Under the skilled hands of Mrs. Anna-Maria Rogdaki, these blooms adorned the space with understated elegance, reflecting the couple’s refined taste and attention to detail.
A symbolic touch of Greece’s azure hues graced the guest book table, with a striking blue window evoking the colors of the Mediterranean. It served as a reminder of the couple’s love for both their heritage and the enchanting landscapes that surrounded them on their special day.
