Minimal white-and-green wedding beneath olive trees with a bespoke dance floor that reads “So this is love”

# The wedding at a glance

Set beneath olive trees at the OUSIA venue in Cyprus, this wedding prioritized a minimal, elegant aesthetic. The reception relied on layering and proportion rather than ornamentation: long tables, organic floral work, and a restrained palette of crisp white and soft green.

# The central detail: the dance floor

The couple commissioned a bespoke dance floor that reads "So this is love." It became a frequently photographed element and one of the couple's favorite design choices. The phrase functioned as both a literal dance space and a design focal point that tied the reception together visually and emotionally.

# Design choices and atmosphere

The overall look aimed to feel as though it belonged to the landscape. Key choices included white table linens paired with green napkins, unobtrusive centerpieces with organic shapes, and long communal tables to encourage conversation. The planner used these decisions to create a natural flow across the outdoor space so guests could move easily between dining and dancing.

# Vendors and venue

• Venue: OUSIA, noted by the wedding photographer for minimal architecture, clear lines, and strong greenery, including a nearby medieval church.
• Photographer: George Liopetas Fine Art Photographs provided the day's imagery and praised the venue's aesthetic.
• Planner/Designer: Gigi, owner of Treasures Events, handled the wedding's planning and design.

These choices emphasized refinement over excess and produced clean, photogenic compositions beneath the open sky.

# Fashion and styling

The bride wore a gown with a structured corset bodice and a clean silhouette. A veil with delicate 3D floral details softened the minimal look. The groom's outfit was a custom-made black S150 wool tuxedo paired with a bow tie and suspenders. The wardrobe supported the wedding's timeless, effortless feeling.

# Food, drinks, and music

Food and beverage selections were used as personal touches: the couple offered three signature cocktails—one reflecting the bride's favorite, one the groom's, and a third they both love. For music, the couple curated entrance songs, cake-cutting tracks, and a first-dance selection chosen to match the day's emotional moments. Reception music favored soft, elegant melodies to match the relaxed atmosphere.

# Notable details

• Wedding cake: a round shape with an open center inspired by a wedding ring, finished in clean white with candles along one half for a soft glow.
• Special touches: personalized thank-you cards and small gestures for guests to make the celebration feel intimate and considered.

# Why this story matters to planners and couples

This wedding offers a clear example of how minimal design, thoughtful proportions, and a few intentional custom elements can create an elegant, personal celebration outdoors. The bespoke dance floor illustrates how a single bespoke element can become the emotional and visual centerpiece without overwhelming a restrained palette.
