Agreco Farm Wedding

Emily and Ashford from the US and UK chose Crete for their romantic wedding at Agreco farm.

A Rustic, and Elegant wedding at Agreco Farm on Rethymno, Crete

 Agreco Farm Wedding

A rustic, laid-back, simple, and family-oriented wedding on Crete. Emily and Ashford celebrated their wedding with relatives and friends from the US and UK. Besides the awe-worthy Greek surroundings that influenced the decor, the true look they wanted to achieve was creating a day to reflect their love of family and friends and to capture these moments in a candid way.

The couple explained: “We wanted to look back at the pictures and not feel like the wedding was from any particular year. We wanted the pictures to be unposed and capture the joy that everyone was experiencing in the evening. We wanted it to feel like a family celebration and not make people feel they needed to act or look a certain way.” Many of Emily’s family, unfortunately, could not make it, and Emily’s uncle Steve usually says Grace at all family weddings, so the couple had a video broadcast of his prayer before dinner, which was really special.

 

Some words of wisdom 

for those planning a wedding abroad. They say: “Don’t be afraid to be super direct about what you want. We wanted a day that was stress-free and casual, without lots of fuss. We said this up-front with all of our vendors and it really paid off as everyone was on the same page. For example, working with Magdalene, our photographer, and Eva, our planner, we were able to keep things super low-stress by talking about things in advance. They were both amazing on the day and kept us both calm, making it so much more enjoyable!”
