Garden Inspired Greek Wedding at St. Francis Hall

Kosta proposed to Marina while on vacation in Santorini. They were married in a traditional Greek ceremony. Their wedding favors (the Boubouniera) were a traditional Greek wedding favor that contained 7 koufeta (Jordan almonds), for good luck – designed by Marina, made in Greece, and brought over by family members the summer before their wedding. They are both in the food industry (Kosta was listed in Forbe’s 2015 30 under 30 in the Food & Wine category), so the food was a central feature at their wedding, and gave homage to their Greek roots. The bride & groom danced the night away to traditional Greek music, surrounded (quite literally!!) by family & friends.
