BRIDE'S PREPARATION - THE BACKSTAGE

All big moments happen after other big moments. And in every one of them, my dearest friends are unconditionally included. I would be lost without them in every possible sense.
I organized the wedding in less than 2 months, but without my girlfriends, the whole preparation wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be as magical, as true, as girly, as lovely as it actually was. My maid of honor, Pavlina, stood by me, not only at the church, but she was my inspiration, my precious help, my bff during the whole period. My other half is my man, but if we would have a second other half, Pavlina would be mine.
And now, the backstage.
A huge THANKS to 2 people, 2 true artists, who played the most important role in the whole preparation, and with their heart and their true smile, they took care of my hair and make up in this biggest day. Elena Chatzinikolidou created this amazing makeup look (i really believe she is the best mua ever) and Petros Tsampoukos gave me the most chic hair style i have ever witnessed.
And as for the bridal gown.. After i designed the basic idea, along with Pavlina we looked for the perfect fabrics and materials around the industries. We finally decided to go with a hand made lace of pure silk, carefully hand embroidered with little stones all over. We, also, made a romantic veil with the same embellished lace and silk tulle - so so soft like a dream. Like we stole the fuzzy clouds and masterly put them on my hair. (i am being poetic in posts like this, i know..)
But i leave the rest on the photographers to draw the picture.

MAKING A STATEMENT FOR ACCESSORIZE

FW13 Accessorize Collection makes you feel like a princess. Baroque style pieces never stop making royal statements. Luxury and Opulence surround the Baroque Collection with heroic jewellery and lavish clutches encrusted in the most dazzling of gemstones. Quite rightly indulgent with the utmost attention to detail.
Well, here I am, all dressed up in amazing Monsoon dress and Accessorize jewellery, photoshot by fav photographer Maria Maraki. This impressive makeup is an artwork by the Inglot MUA team. Hair by Petros Tsampoukos. Shooting took place in Faust Bar theatre.
