CHRISTIANA & JASON

A Coastal, Romantic Wedding Celebration at Island Resort Athens Riviera –
Gallery & Residence

If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels like pure summer romance with a chic twist — Christiana and Jason’s celebration at Island Resort Athens Riviera was it. With the dreamy Athenian Riviera as their backdrop, this destination wedding brought together sleek style, heartfelt moments, and one heck of a party.

The day kicked off at the Four Seasons, where Christiana got ready in a sun-drenched suite with her closest people. Laughter, happy tears, and the kind of excitement you can feel in your bones filled the air as she slipped into her princess-cut Oscar de la Renta gown. The corset fit to perfection, with delicate floral embroidery reminiscent of Greek olive branches and subtle sequins that shimmered in the sun. Diamond petal earrings borrowed from her mother and a diamond bracelet inherited from her late grandmother completed the look — a perfect balance of modern elegance and sentimental beauty. Meanwhile, Jason was just down the hall, looking effortlessly sharp in a midnight blue custom tuxedo from Cad & Dandy, paired with vintage Tiffany cufflinks gifted by his new father-in-law, and suspenders for a more relaxed, “fun” party look later in the night.

Their ceremony at The Gallery Island Resort Athens Riviera couldn’t have been more gorgeous. An aisle of natural light brown wooden chairs led to a white stage draped in a halo of abundant green and white flowers, perfectly framing the sparkling Mediterranean beyond. With soft sunlight streaming in and the Aegean breeze floating through, Christiana walked down the aisle beaming, while Jason’s eyes did that slow, dreamy blink you only see in love stories. They exchanged vows surrounded by nature, family, and that soft golden glow that only Greek summers know how to deliver.

Then it was off to The Residence Island Resort Athens Riviera for a reception reveal that took everyone’s breath away. Guests walked into an elegant garden party setting — small round and rectangular tables dressed in layers of white flowers, sage green foliage, and dusty pink undertones, with a mix of heights and textures. Short and tall candles added warmth, while rattan lanterns hung above, casting a golden glow as the sun set. Aperol spritzes flowed under the olive trees while laughter and conversation filled the air.

On the dance floor, Christiana and Jason’s one request was met in dazzling style — disco balls alternating with clouds of green baby’s breath swayed overhead, while LED walls behind the stage kept the party energy high. As the night went on, Christiana swapped her gown for a short, sparkly Galia Lahav party dress, made for twirling under the lights, and the band brought the house down. The couple cut into the biggest Italian millefoglie-style cake you’ve ever seen, fireworks exploded above the sea, and a drone performance spelled out sweet messages in the sky.

From the first dance to the last shot (yes, there were trays of them), the energy was electric. Heels came off, ties came undone, and everyone hit the dance floor like it was the last party on earth. Glitter, singing, photobooth madness, and laughter echoed well into the early morning.

Christiana and Jason’s wedding was more than beautiful — it was a story layered with personal touches, luxury details, and spontaneous magic. From the elegant coastal ceremony to the lantern-lit garden party, the designer gowns to the disco-lit dance floor, every moment was filled with heart, style, and joy. A celebration where laughter echoed, hearts were full, and no one wanted the night to end.

From an Oscar de la Renta gown to disco balls and fireworks, Christiana & Jason’s Athens Riviera wedding was a perfect mix of elegance, energy, and pure joy.
