Accommodation options

How to look your best on your wedding day 


Everyone wants to look beautiful on their wedding day – that much is a given. Nevertheless, this proves to be a little bit trickier when in a hotter climate, thus you need to use the two following tips in order to ensure no disaster happens. Firstly, don’t sunbathe too much before your big day. The last thing you want is to look like a lobster on your wedding day. If you are going to get married in Cephalonia then it is best to do so near the beginning of your holiday so that you can spend the rest in marital bliss getting a gorgeous tan! And secondly, you need to give a lot of consideration to the material of your wedding dress. The only thing worse than looking like a lobster is rocking sweat patches! Go for a material that is light and airy. A Grecian style dress would be perfect; not only are they ideal for the climate and look beautiful, but they are extremely fitting for a wedding in the Greek Island of Kefalonia. You can truly be a Greek goddess!
