Sustainable Love: How We Plan Eco-Friendly Weddings in Crete.

Why We Call Ourselves an Eco-Conscious Wedding Planner in Crete?

When planning destination weddings in Crete, we believe it’s not only about creating unforgettable moments — it’s also about honouring the place that hosts them. Crete still holds many unspoiled corners, making it a truly unique destination at the southern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Our eco-conscious wedding philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for nature, local culture, and sustainable practices.

Nature as the Perfect Backdrop

One of the reasons Crete is such a dream location for a destination wedding is its breathtaking natural beauty — and we embrace it fully. From olive groves and seaside cliffs to ancient stone chapels and even forests, nature becomes your ceremony backdrop, eliminating the need for excessive décor and allowing the island’s magic to shine through.

Supporting Local, Every Step of the Way

Sustainability to us means keeping things local. We source all of our wedding elements — from venues and materials to food and florals — directly from the island itself.

  • Food & Drink: We work with caterers who champion Cretan cuisine using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Whether it’s a modern take or a traditional feast, you’ll find native herbs, cheeses, vegetables, spring water, local wines, and craft beers on your table — all proudly Cretan unless chosen by couple otherwise.

 

  • Vendors & Artisans: From photographers and florists to lighting designers and musicians, we collaborate almost exclusively with local professionals. Not only does this reduce our carbon footprint, but it also supports the island’s talented creative community. Of course, if you have a particular artist or photographer you’d like to bring, we welcome that — but our heart lies in showcasing Crete’s gifts.

  • Decor & Design: Our styling choices always begin with the question: what already exists in this landscape? We use natural, reusable, or locally crafted materials for décor, minimizing waste and excess.

Eco-Friendly by Intention, Not Trend

Being eco-friendly isn’t just a trend for us —it’s the way we believe weddings should be. A celebration of love that also celebrates place, people, and purpose. So when you choose to work with us, you’re not just planning a beautiful wedding — you’re becoming part of something more meaningful: a community that honours the land, supports local, and celebrates consciously.
