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.

If there is one thing the pandemic had taught both planners and clients, it’s that an event doesn’t have to include a never-ending guest list to be successful. On the contrary, in the past couple of years, intimate events have become a huge trend, with more and more people choosing this cozy, warm, and relaxed type of celebration for their special occasion.

Of course, when we think of intimacy we intuitively pair it with romance. Romantic events like wedding parties, proposals, anniversaries, Valentine’s day celebrations, and surprise birthday parties, all somehow become even more magical when they have a more intimate feeling.

Whatever intimate occasion you are planning to celebrate, depending on your personality and style, we can take the stress out of planning all the fine details; we can create a most magical romantic setting, either in the comfort of your own space, or in a private hotel or rented suite. Here are some of our favorite ideas to get you inspired for your next intimate event.

Soft candlelight dinner

If you’re celebrating something special with your significant other then what better way to celebrate than by creating a magical experience with a candlelight dinner. It can be just the two of you, or you can invite your closest loved ones. When it comes to choosing a venue, you have numerous options including your own home or garden, a fantastic restaurant, a beautiful beach on a stunning Greek island, or a gorgeous private suite.

No matter where you choose to host your intimate dinner, be it a private yacht or a villa terrace, we’ll make sure to have the perfect balance of candles, fairy lights, and lanterns to create a cozy and warm ambiance.

Nothing says love like flowers, and we’ll pay special attention to the floral arrangements and make sure to scatter rose petals all around! Harmonious music and low lighting are also a must to create the right atmosphere. Last but not least, whether you’re thinking about cooking or catering, we’ll help you choose your menu options carefully. Oysters, for example, are a natural choice for their aphrodisiac quality, but if seafood is not the preferred choice, then artichokes and avocados are also known for their love-sparking qualities too!

Cozy Picnic Indoors

When thinking of a picnic, you probably think of a more laid-back and informal affair, however, did you know that we can give this casual classic a luxurious upgrade to make it date night-worthy!?

Allow us to create a cozy and dreamy setting either in a private garden or in the comfort of your own living room, by beautifying your cute picnic with elegant candles and flowers and eclectic tableware. We’ll replace the standard picnic blanket with something more opulent, such as silk sheets or a faux fur rug, and decorate with lush, velvet cushions – a major winter trend. Picnic finger foods are a must-have, but they should also be romantic; the combination of cheese, foie gras, French baguette, and grapes never fails to amaze. We’ll be sure to have a bottle of your partner’s favorite wine or champagne!

Dinner In Bed

Now this is a great way to surprise your other half and make them feel like they’re the star of a rom-com movie set in Greece!! A definite upgrade from the breakfast classic, dinner in bed is totally unexpected and utterly romantic. We can begin by decorating your bed with hundreds of rose petals either in a heart shape or any unique design you like! We will make the most of any shelves or low surfaces by lining up scented candles for some sensuous vibes.

For a playful vibe, we can decorate the room with impressive balloon garlands, or for an added touch of enchantment, we absolutely love large illuminating letters or numbers and saying ‘Yes!’ to making things light up all bright and happy. Once the setting is ready, you can enjoy your dinner on trays topped with flowers, silk napkins, exclusive luxury tableware, and other pretty garnishes.

Romantic Bathroom Date

What better way to get all cozy and warm with your sweetheart than with a romantic bathroom date! Whether you choose to celebrate in a hotel suite with a jacuzzi or at home, the idea is the same. We fill up the bathtub with hot water, add tons of bubbles, rose petals and lovely floating candles. and slights of fruit. We can even fill the room with tall candles, fresh flowers or balloons for the ultimate decor setting.

Of course, we’ll also prepare a tray full of special treats, such as all-time-favorite chocolate strawberries and champagne. Once you’re both comfy, the only thing you have to do is drop a bath bomb for an explosion of color and essential oils.

To end your intimate event in a most romantic way, we can create a thoughtful custom gift that will surprise your partner and leave them absolutely speechless!

If you’re ready for a once-in-a-lifetime romantic and intimate event, we’re here to make it a reality. Get in touch and let’s make some magic come to life!

​When hosting a special intimate event, photographs are the most popular way of commemorating your big day. However, it’s your event video that will truly help you reminisce on your special occasion. Unlike pictures, a video truly captures all the live moments, making it the most effective way to relive the experience of your event, including the incredible ambience and all the wonderful emotions too.

Be careful with thinking that simply having a videographer at your next event means you’ll end up with a great video. Just like everything else in life, success lies in the details and a great result requires putting thought into the planning of things, like your video style, as well as choosing a videographer that fits what you’re looking for. Something else to keep in mind is that consistency is very important (surely you want all the design elements to work together harmoniously), which means, if you haven’t yet figured out what style of photography you’ll use, read this article for advice on photos.

So, when choosing your video style, remember that it must be something that represents you. Videography is a form of art in itself, which therefore means it’s subjective. One may like an edgier video style, while someone else may prefer something more traditional and classic. Also, the style of your video is determined by its purpose. For example, a family reunion yacht party requires a different video style than a corporate dinner or a romantic luxury proposal. Fortunately, there are many different video styles to choose from and most videographers will give you multiple options so you don’t feel limited.

We’ve gathered some of the most popular video styles to help you discover the ideal style for you. We’ve also included some tips on how to efficiently communicate your needs to your videographer.

Video Style #1: Cinematic

Do you want your event to be captured in a stylized way with a cinematic flair? Then, the cinematic style is the right choice for your event. Cinematic video resembles a film, and since every love story deserves a movie about it, it’s only natural that this video style is by far the most popular choice for wedding parties. With a special focus on lighting, the cinematic video style promises to capture, not just the major events of your big day, but also the small details that add to the whole experience.

Video Style #2: Romantic

A romantic video style is all about flow, continuity, and storytelling. Straightforward and vulnerable, it puts emphasis on shots and camera angles as well as setting the environment. It highlights people’s body language toward one another, concentrating on the overarching storyline and character relationships, with longer and more fluid shots.

Video Style #3: Documentary

Similar to the cinematic style, a documentary style video has a more journalistic approach rather than a dramatic feel. This type of video will take you through the events of your big day in chronological order, from beginning to end. Let’s say this style is used for a wedding, there will be sections dedicated to getting ready, arriving at the ceremony, taking photos, and perhaps even a small interview with guests describing their emotions and wishes. If you want a more anthropocentric approach, focused on how you and your guests feel, then this style is the one you’re after.

Video Style #4: Artistic

Stylish, innovative, and unique, an artistic video style can be ingenious, creative, and imaginative all at the same time. It’s about figuring out how to define, identify, and depict your event in a way that fulfils your needs. Keep in mind that this video style requires that your videographer have an imaginative toolkit, a diverse creative palette, and a formal understanding of the context in which their work is captured and viewed.

Event Highlights

Event highlights have been very popular in recent years. Many clients want to have a 2 to 5 minute highlight clip of their event as well as the full version which is approximately a 30 to 40 minute video. A highlight recaps all of the most memorable moments of your event; for example, a highlight clip from your baby’s baptism or birthday party may turn out to be much more valuable than a longer piece of content, not to mention that you’re more likely to view it in its entirety more often.

Choosing the right videographer

Hiring a videographer can prove to be quite a challenging task. First you must look for someone who matches your video style preference and can meet your expectations. To ensure that, carefully review their portfolio; even pull out a couple videos that you love and use them as examples when sharing your vision. Also, talk about your venue and be sure the videographer is comfortable with your venue type.

Once you’ve established all of the above elements, now it’s time to focus on the vibe. Do you actually jive well with the videographer you’ve chosen? Remember that being filmed all day can vary from a very good to an extremely bad experience and everything boils down to the relationship you have with the person behind the lens. Only if you like them and feel comfortable with them will you have the results you desire!

If you want help choosing the best videographer to film your event in Greece, at MILI LO we work closely with very successful professionals who can turn your big day into an unforgettable experience you remember forever. Creating a video of your event is much more than just finding a videographer – they really need to be exceptional storytellers. Get in touch and we will be sure to narrate your unique story in the most eloquent way.
