It\u2019s a nice day for a… white wedding.<\/p>\n

Marika Atanasovski and Anthony Sideris were married with\u00a0Greek traditions\u00a0on February 22, 2014 surrounded by 200 guests.<\/p>\n

The bride, 25, had dreamed of a white\u00a0wedding\u00a0with her 27-year-old fianc\u00e9. \u201cI always imagined everything to be white,\u201d says Marika. The result was elegant, fresh styling, perfect for the summer event. \u201cAll the flowers were white and our reception was filled with white floral arrangements,\u201d describes Marika.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s choice of Windmill Gardens<\/a> for their reception was a great setting for photographs. \u201cIt was the perfect place for a wedding venue, we had some amazing photos taken in the beautiful gardens,\u201d gleams Marika. \u201cThe staff went out of their way, everything ran smoothly, food was delicious. They nailed it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests were entertained with a mix of acts on the day. \u201cWe had a DJ who played the traditional Greek and Macedonian music as well as our favourite dance music later in the evening,\u201d says Marika.<\/p>\n

\u201cHitZone [band] did an amazing job and played a variety of songs including our bridal waltz and the father-daughter dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

And no grand wedding day goes off without a bang. The pair concluded the evening with fireworks. \u201cAll our guests are still saying there were more fireworks than New Year\u2019s Eve,\u201d laughs Marika.<\/p>\n
