Fashion-Forward Elopement Inspiration with all the Pampas Grass Decor

Rock Inspired Santorini Elopement

The idea: a rock ‘n’ roll couple with a nomadic vibe eloping off-the-beaten-path in Santorini. The team: a who’s who of creatives. Us: to put it lightly, obsessed.  (Oh, and if you’re on the hunt for pampas grass wedding decor, PIN THIS NOW.)

Photographers Chris & Ruth approached Tie the Knot Santorini with one such idea and the results are a fashion-forward, bohemian elopement full of wanderlust + style. The location is decidedly NOT your traditional Santorini, making for the perfect middle-of-nowhere spot that you could find, well, anywhere! But bonus if you find the ruins of a windmill on site :)

For those about to (get a) rock, we salute you. Let’s follow these two on their rad journey to I DO!

YOLANCRIS Wedding Dress

Just stop it RIGHT NOW. The corset top, the sheer Victorian-era neck + sleeves, the skirt…this YOLANCRIS gown is a LOOK.

And we LOVE seeing a guy with style! Really digging his printed shirt and jacket. Because rock ‘n’ roll exists outside of black leather and we are here for it!
