A Refined Vision by MK by Santo Weddings
Designed and planned by MK by Santo Weddings under the creative direction of Maria Sfakianakia, the celebration reflected a thoughtful and cohesive aesthetic. The design focused on balance and intention—clean lines, soft textures, and a neutral palette that allowed the setting to breathe. Florals moved in quiet harmony with the space, enhancing rather than overwhelming it.
Every element felt curated, yet natural. A true reflection of fine art wedding design.
