A marriage proposal is undoubtedly one of the most memorable days in a couple’s life, second of course to the actual wedding, and this moment needs to be extra special. There are numerous idyllic places to plan a luxury proposal in Greece, however Santorini is arguably the ultimate destination to pop the question. A magical island of romantic bliss, Santorini is considered the mecca of love, especially because of its world-famous breathtaking views across the sea and its one-of-a-kind sunsets!

If you are still undecided about how to propose and you need some real-life inspiration, here are some truly impressive ways to make your proposal in Santorini unforgettable!

Helicopter Ride

If you’re aiming for the ultimate ‘wow’ factor for your proposal, helicopter rides are the ideal way to sweep your other half off their feet. Soar above Santorini and discover its picturesque landscapes like the volcanic formations of the caldera, and its charming, white-washed villages speckled across the island. Helipads are situated at various points around the island and if you’d like to propose on land, it can be arranged so that you land close to your proposal spot. If you are one for added adventure, then plan to make your proposal in the air during a romantic sunset tour; hidden cameras can be set up so that your partner is caught completely off guard!

Private Yacht

Another incredible idea is to get down on one knee during a private yacht charter in Santorini. 
Picture this, while you’re enjoying a refreshing swim in the warm volcanic waters, your chef is preparing a romantic dinner on board that will be served on deck accompanied by a fruity local Santorini wine. Imagine this heavenly island and unique moment in the middle of the Aegean Sea, with a surprise awaiting. Floral decor, rose petals and fairy lights illuminating and just as you pop the question, a photographer and videographer can be shooting from a distance to capture all the highlights of your trip – without your partner suspecting a thing. Thinking of something simpler? Check our our pre-designed wedding proposal options in Greece!

Private Terrace Elevated

Candles, rose petals, fairy lights, and the sunset from your very own private terrace with a breathtaking view – this is the ultimate setting for an intimate luxury wedding proposal in Santorini. Decorated furniture and floral arrangements to suit your personality and your selected theme, the terrace and a dining table all charmingly adorned with fresh flowers and champagne, imply a sumptuous meal. An epic firework display or a musician playing live just for the two of you will add the perfect touch to the overall atmosphere of grandeur!

Vintage Car Ride

If you’re one for something out of the ordinary, one of the most creative proposal ideas is to rent a special vintage car to take you around Santorini’s most iconic spots. Choose your favorite proposal spot and upon arrival, all the details of your luxury proposal – like champagne, fireworks, and a secret photographer – will all be set and waiting for you to relish in this truly unique moment.

Flying Dress Photo Shoot

Imagine you smartly dressed next to your girlfriend and being photographed as she is wearing a beautiful, elegant flying dress with the caldera as your backdrop. Now imagine celebrating your love and proposing during this photo shoot in the most original way. The idea sounds thrilling and certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will surely impress the love of your life – oh so special! No need for anything extravagant if you are are envisioning something simple. A pre-designed photo shoot may be ideal for you!

Luxury Cooking Class & Wine Tasting

If you and your partner are avid foodies and wine lovers then this is the ultimate proposal for you! While discovering the crisp volcanic wines of Santorini or during a fanciful cooking class, where you will learn how to cook melt-in-your-mouth local dishes, kneel and ask the question oh-so naturally. Your partner will never know what hit them and the hidden cameras will capture the shocking and memorable moment on camera!

No matter what experience you decide, we are able to arrange photographers and videographers to shoot your entire journey to Santorini in disguise; from your arrival to your departure and of course your romantic proposal, we can capture the whole story for you to take back home with you! We can also make your proposal an extraordinary 2-day event, including the arrangement of a photographer to shoot at various spots on the island that you’ll visit.

From tailor made luxury wedding proposals to bespoke intimate events such as baptisms, themed parties and private dinners, the key to a successful and unforgettable event is for it to be a perfect reflection of your unique personality. At MILI LO we consider all of your precise requirements and preferences and then bring the highest level of professionalism and creativity to every element of your event – we do our utmost to design and style your luxury event so that it mirrors who you are and creates a memorable experience for your guests.

One of the most satisfying parts of our role is to listen to your story, understand your needs and immerse ourselves in your vision. We take time to talk about all the wonderful details of your special occasion and make sure that all the event elements match your personality and style. Our expert consultants know exactly what questions to ask and how to really get to know you and help make your dream event come true!

At an initial stage we have to decide on the theme of your event, and the overall impression and experience that your guests will have at your event. There are so many details and elements to choose from, so we take time to discover what style works best for you; we always design and plan an event according to your unique personal style, whether it is modern, ethnic, romantic, rustic, minimal or boho-chic! Floral design is also a major component of your event so we always ask you about your favorite flowers, colors, and scents in order to pick the perfect floral accents. If you envision a destination event, we are by your side every step of the way to help you find an idyllic location and venue to host your special event.

We are not only interested in the various design elements of your event; we want to learn more about you so that we can tailor-make every detail and plan an event that will uniquely reflect your personality. We want to know about your interests and hobbies, what you like and what you don’t, whether you are an adventurous or romantic spirit, if you are an extrovert or an introvert, and even what music you enjoy listening to. The answers to some of these questions help us get a clearer picture of how you envision your event and who you are as a person. Our creative juices start flowing and then we’re ready to propose our ideas and make your dream event come true!

Of course, we also love exploring the latest trends and presenting you with the most original and personalized ideas that add a ‘wow factor’ to your event. For example, we can design unique ‘Save the Date’ cards to let your guests know about your upcoming special occasion, or we can create bespoke ‘Thank You’ cards to convey a heartfelt message following your event; adding a guest book so visitors can leave comments or a welcome bag with personalized treats are just some of the creative ideas that add a personal touch to your event.

And last, but definitely not least, we take your entertainment seriously and we can plan some exciting games and activities that will make your event an experience your guests will never forget. We specialize in ultimate dining experiences with distinctive and unusual table settings; we can even personalize your bar menu with signature drinks and cocktails. We also love creating really great surprises – since it’s one of the best ways of keeping your guests excited and intrigued! For instance, we can have catering staff break out into song while they’re serving, or hire a musician to give an outstanding live performance. The event experience is what guests will remember long after, and they’ll definitely remember the things they didn’t see coming!

At MILI LO we love what we do and making your dream event into a reality is our role and greatest joy. All you need to do is share your vision with us – an initial idea, a picture, a general feeling – and we’ll work our creativity and planning expertise to achieve perfection. Once we’ve understood the unique vision for your special day, we give our undivided attention to you and work meticulously to meet and surpass your expectations. Reach out and let us create a unique and fully personalized experience tailor-made for you!

This new year is all about partying once again, and this return to fun mode has influenced event trends across the globe – things like destination events, bold colors, interactive entertainment, and an even more customized guest experience. From bespoke intimate events like baptisms to yacht events, discover and get inspired by these top trends for the upcoming spring-summer season.

Colorful Events

One thing is for sure about this year’s events – they will be colorful! Bright colors like blue, cherry red, purple, and gold are a major trend but tried and true neutrals, like ivory and cream, are still in the picture. This means that you can combine the elegance of an all-time classic white palette with the energy of bright splashes of color to surprise your guests and create a refreshing look for your event. And since this year is all about breaking tradition, there’s a growing popularity in colorful wedding dresses too. Picture it, an emerald green gown – such a fashion-forward yet chic choice for a bold bride.

Destination Events

With travel being possible again after such a long time, it’s only natural that destination events, particularly weddings, are on a rapid rise. There’s something really special about faraway celebrations in idyllic destinations, and of course Greece is one of the world’s most beautiful locations for a destination event. Just imagine hosting your special occasion on a luxury yacht, in the middle of the sea, with the Aegean breeze gently stroking your hair and the Mediterranean sky filled with the warm colors of a beautiful sunset – such a lifetime experience!

Big Parties

Big parties are back, and they’re here to stay! Hitting pause on so much of life in the last couple of years has made us all want to feel free, to celebrate, to spend time with our loved ones, and to have as much fun as we possibly can. This is the exact spirit inspiring event planning this season. Large guest lists, big and over-the-top design elements, statement floral installations, an upbeat atmosphere, and a focus on entertainment are some of the main characteristics for a once-in-a-lifetime event that will put a huge smile on everyone’s face!

Intimate Wedding Dinners & Parties

Although large-scale, blowout events are gaining ground, 2020’s micro-weddings and micro-events have made a lasting impression. More and more people have come to embrace the intimacy of small events and prefer them over grand affairs. Micro luxury events are not about the guest list, but more about the feeling of warmth, the sense of familiarity, and cozy vibes. Isn’t this what we all love about intimate weddings?

Interactive Entertainment

We are dawning a new era when it comes to entertaining guests, and events are all about giving guests a truly unforgettable experience. Over-the-top musical elements and fabulous performances are becoming top trends right now. However, entertainment doesn’t mean just music. It could be anything, from a dance competition to a magic show or a karaoke session that will take your event’s wow factor right over the top!

Sustainable Events

And last but certainly not least, a trend that is not really a trend but a lifestyle shift, sustainable events are simply a must no matter what type of event you’re hosting, and no matter where you’re hosting it. Choosing greener vendors, using online save-the-dates and invitations, recycling, donating or repurposing flowers after your big day, and going for an entirely vegan menu are just a few ways to host an event that considers the whole, and not only its in-the-moment bliss.

Are you ready to start planning your 2022 event in Greece? We’d love to be part of it and are here to help you plan an event that is as unique as your individual style and personality. Whether it’s a spring-summer event or a fall-winter one, we are looking forward to hearing from you! Get in touch with us and let’s start planning some fun and happy lifetime moments!

Food, drinks, friends, and good conversation – these are all the ingredients that make a great dinner party! But what if you want to take your luxury party to another level? What do you need then? We say, it’s all in the details!

​Throwing a dinner party whether at a private villa, your home, a high-end restaurant, or somewhere else exclusive such as a yacht, the process can be a little bit daunting and the stress of preparing everything can get overwhelming. However, if you make a thought-out schedule, the whole process can become simple and fuss-free. At MILI LO we’re experts in event designing and planning, so we’ve gathered a few guidelines for hosting the ultimate dinner party!

#1 Make a Timeline

Your planning should begin at least four weeks in advance. Trust us—advance organization is the secret to every seamless soirée. Start by outlining the key steps: menu development, guest list curation, sourcing tableware and décor, arranging florals, and confirming your caterer or chef. We recommend breaking down your timeline into weekly goals so nothing is left to the last minute.

And if you’re working with us, we’ll manage that entire timeline for you—from initial vision to post-event cleanup—so you can stay relaxed and focused on your guests.

#2 Choose a Theme

Every great dinner party has a concept or story. This doesn’t mean it has to be overly theatrical, but choosing a thoughtful theme helps tie everything together—from menu to table setting. Whether you’re envisioning a “Winter White Elegance” dinner, a Mediterranean coastal feast, or a romantic candlelit evening under the stars, the theme helps shape all the creative decisions.

Not sure where to begin? We’ll help you select or refine a theme that reflects your personality and sets the tone for a beautifully cohesive experience.

#3 Curate Your Guest List

Intimate dinner parties are about connection. Aim for a group where everyone knows at least one other person—or where natural synergy is likely. Think of your guests’ personalities, humor, and energy levels. Want a more adventurous mix of friends and colleagues? Let us guide you on how to balance the dynamic so conversation flows naturally and everyone feels at ease.

And don’t forget: the guest experience starts with the invitation. Whether printed or digital, we create beautifully branded invites that hint at the luxury to come.

#4 Plan the Menu Carefully

The menu is the centerpiece of your dinner party. Begin by considering dietary preferences and allergies—then work with a private chef (or us!) to curate a multi-course meal that reflects the season and your theme. Keep it elegant but not overly fussy. Each dish should excite the senses and be plated with intention.

For hosts who love to cook, we’ll help you choose tried-and-true recipes, source premium ingredients, and set a prep schedule. Or let us bring in a chef so you can focus on being present with your guests.

#5 Elevate the Drinks Experience

A thoughtful drinks menu is just as important as the food. Start the evening with a signature cocktail (we’ll even help you design one), followed by wines that complement each course. Have sparkling water and non-alcoholic options available, and keep a close eye on refills—your guests should never have to ask.

We work with sommeliers and mixologists to craft drinks pairings that bring an extra layer of luxury and delight to your table.

#6 Set the Mood with Music

A curated playlist can transform the entire atmosphere of your party. Choose something soft and ambient for dinner, with the option to liven things up later in the evening. Whether it’s a classical quartet, smooth jazz, or a mix of your favorite artists, music should enhance the mood—not dominate it.

We can create a custom playlist for you or even bring in live musicians if you’re looking for that extra touch of sophistication.

#7 Design a Beautiful Table

Your table is where all the magic happens—and at MILI LO, art de la table is our specialty. We curate every visual detail: exclusive tableware, hand-selected linens, designer glassware, seasonal floral arrangements, and unique decorative touches that reflect your theme.

From modern minimalist to old-world opulence, we build tablescapes that tell a story and create an immersive dining experience. And yes—we also handle all setup and takedown so you don’t lift a finger.

#8 Be the Host with the Most

Above all, your role is to set the tone. Even if something goes awry behind the scenes, your energy will lead the room. Stay calm, be present, and enjoy the moment. With our team managing every detail, you won’t have to worry about timing, service, or any surprises—we’ve got it covered.

Let MILI LO Bring Your Vision to Life

If this guide has sparked your imagination, we’d love to help you create something truly extraordinary. Hosting should be joyful, not stressful—and we’re here to bring your event to life with style, ease, and impeccable taste.
