Extra Tips from Your Greek Wedding Planner

• Luggage: Soft suitcases work best for ferries & small Greek island hotels.

• Weather: It’s usually warm May–October, but evenings in April & October can be breezy.

• Weddings near the sea: Bring something for wind control—clips, hairspray, or veil weights!

• Gifts: Shipping to Greece can be tricky. Consider cash gifts, group experiences, or cards brought in person.
