Sunset Sailing Wedding Proposal in Santorini

Designing and planning Michal’s wedding proposal in Santorini, was unprecedented to us. Having never experienced organizing a marriage proposal on board before, it was a new kind of excitement. From day one, the idea of sailing along the caldera immediately caught Michal’s eye.

A private sailing tour was arranged to various hot spots around the island of Santorini. There, Michal and Yuliya would have a swim, snorkel and get sun soaked! Halfway through this amazing experience, the photographer and I suddenly appear on board to start executing a special surprise for Yuliya without arousing suspicion.

A supposed ‘last minute’ arrangement was planned from Michal’s end, to have a photo shoot on the boat. To Yuliya’s surprise, his heart and mind was settled for something much bigger. So, when the moment was right, he went down on one knee and asked this special girl to marry him! Without any hesitation, she said the big YES! The photoshoot continued as Yuliya showed off her incredible engagement ring. As the sun began to set, the couple sat down for dinner to celebrate their love and new adventures.

For the table we selected something very simple yet elegant. A flower centerpiece in Yuliya’s favorite color tones and textures, accompanied with pastel pink hues for the napkins and dinner menus. Silver details in the acrylic glass and flatware to suit her personal style. As a final touch, we laid out string lights (an all time favorite) beneath the tableware, which created a perfectly romantic atmosphere. After all, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’!

Sailing away and heading back to port with the ideal backdrop of the sun setting before them, whilst they celebrated their love with a beautiful dinner and local wine – it was a fairy tale ending to this wonderful day and an incredible start to a new lifetime adventure!

We could not have been happier for Michal and Yuliya and we wish them a life filled with happiness and everlasting love.
