June in Corfu is one of the most vibrant times on our glorious emerald island - we are in full summer swing, the evenings are wonderfully long, the days are blissfully hot and everything feels just a little bit more magical when you're celebrating love surrounded by the Ionian sunshine. And Paige & Harry’s beautiful wedding at Trilogia was exactly that — a gorgeous summer celebration filled with thoughtful details, beautiful music and plenty of Mediterranean charm.
From the very beginning, our role was to help bring their vision together and make sure all those little details came together beautifully on the day. One of the things we love most about planning weddings is being able to recommend suppliers and ideas that not only suit our couples, but can sometimes give them a little bit more for their budget too!
For Paige & Harry, we linked them with their florist and suggested some alternative flower options that would give them the look they wanted, whilst making their floral budget go even further. It’s something we always love doing — finding those little swaps and creative solutions that still feel beautiful and luxurious, without spending money simply for the sake of it. And the final florals were absolutely gorgeous! From the bridal bouquets, the flowers at the ceremony, to the florals on the reception dinner tables, these florals looked exquisite whilst making their florals budget work.
We organised our lovely celebrant to bless and marry our couple, and we (and our previous brides and grooms!) couldn't recommend her enough. Her gentle tone when reading her unique wedding scripture sets just the perfect tone for weddings, and that's exactly why we use her time and time again - and what a beautiful job she made of this Paige and Harry's wedding day too!
For the reception, Paige and Harry both really wanted a lively atmosphere for their guests, and so we arranged both our trusty and widely loved DJ to hit the decks, and a saxophonist to bring plenty of energy to the celebrations. Live sax alongside a DJ is always such a fun combination for a destination wedding, and it created exactly the kind of atmosphere you want once the formalities are over and everyone is ready to let their hair down!
Before the celebrations got into full swing, we also worked hand in hand with the restaurant to organise welcome cocktails for all the guests. It was such a lovely way to greet everyone and get the evening started, giving friends and family the chance to mingle, enjoy a drink and settle into the relaxed atmosphere of the day.
And of course, we couldn't forget the tables! We dressed everything as Paige had envisioned, making sure all of those finishing touches were in place and the reception looked exactly as she had imagined it. These details might seem small, but they really do make such a difference when you walk into your reception space and see everything you've planned come to life.
From coordinating the suppliers and entertainment to working with the restaurant, helping with the flowers and styling the tables, our job was to take care of all the behind-the-scenes details so Paige & Harry could simply enjoy the glory of their beautiful wedding day here on Corfu island, and that's exactly what we love most about destination wedding planning in Corfu — taking all those little moving parts and bringing them together into one beautiful, relaxed celebration.
Congratulations Paige and Harry!
