A Greek and Italian Wedding With A Little DIY

A Greek and Italian Wedding With A Little DIY

Elly was taken by surprise when on her birthday, boyfriend Jason got down on one knee and popped the big question.

“We were in New York, and he just surprised me and proposed in the middle of snowy Central Park.”

Being each other’s best friend, and with the trust, loyalty and love they shared, taking their relationship to this new level came easy.

For the wedding, Elly wanted something simple, with a black and white theme to tie everything in.

“There were white flowers and lots of greenery. I even did a little DIY and made the bonbonniere myself. I wanted something traditional from our Greek and Italian backgrounds, so I bought the organza bags and white sugared almonds, and put it all together.”

The night was perfect for this gorgeous couple, and it was certainly a night to remember.

“Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing about it.”

Congratulations to Elly and Jason!
