The enchanting Pyrgos Petreza in Athens recently became the setting for a truly magical baptism celebration. Dedicated to a beautiful little girl, this event perfectly balanced elegance, fantasy, and festive cheer.
With a theme inspired by the Ballerina and the Nutcracker, the celebration was filled with artistry, joy, and emotion. Every element — from décor to entertainment — was thoughtfully curated to capture the magic of the season and the grace of a ballerina’s world.
Anna-Maria: The Visionary Designer Behind the Magic
At the heart of this dreamy event was Anna-Maria Rogdaki, the creative force and designer behind Rogdaki Events. Known for her ability to transform spaces into emotional experiences, she curated an atmosphere that felt like stepping into a winter fairytale.
Her vision combined storytelling and elegance, weaving together ballet’s delicate beauty with the festive charm of Christmas. With meticulous attention to detail, Anna-Maria and her team crafted a celebration where grace, light, and emotion danced in harmony.
The Venue: Pyrgos Petreza
With its timeless architecture and warm, romantic atmosphere, Pyrgos Petreza offered the perfect backdrop for this Christmas christening. Its stone walls, soft lighting, and lush gardens created a natural sense of grandeur, while the indoor space was dressed in pastel tones, florals, and sparkling accents.
The venue’s elegance elevated the theme even further, becoming a stage where every moment felt cinematic. The team adorned the space with ballet-inspired details and Nutcracker motifs, blending tradition with modern artistry in perfect balance.
A Ballerina’s Dream Come True
The theme revolved around the delicate beauty of ballet and the charm of the Nutcracker story — a timeless Christmas classic that evokes wonder and nostalgia.
A palette of soft pink, white, and gold set a graceful tone, radiating warmth and joy throughout the space.
Highlights of the design included a spectacular dessert table adorned with ballerina figurines, Nutcracker soldiers, and pastel-colored sweets that looked like tiny works of art. Floral arrangements in blush and cream tones added a romantic touch, while custom-made backdrops and props invited guests into a magical ballet-inspired setting.
Every detail felt choreographed — an artistic dance between celebration and storytelling.
