Counterbalancing Wedding Wreaths/ Greek shops Orthodox Stefana/ Double Coloured Wedding Tiaras

Handmade Stefana, designed and crafted by Olga Zafiraki. With years of experience in fitting out your happiest life moments, every handiwork is a masterpiece within its own simplicity. Or complexity. Your style is your choice!
We love tradition. But we love innovation as well! And we were looking for a way to marry both styles. And so we did!
This pair of handmade stefana is for all of you who like tradition, but want an innovative detail on your wedding day, as well.
Throughout their length, these stefana are decorated with small polygonal Swarovski crystals in two shades. One dark honey coloured and one in a lighter honeyish hue. Our innovative detail is that only the one side of each stefana is decorated with small white porcelain flowers and even this decoration is not consecutive. Each flower decorated side has a small gap along the flower decoration, bringing modernity within tradition.
The ornaments are intertwined on the stefana with silk thread, while the latter is covered with a whitish satin ribbon.
The stefana are united on their base with a wide ivory satin ribbon and a smaller, slenderer white satin ribbon, forming a delicate form and a loose knot, respectively. The stefana are tied exactly as the lives of the bride and the groom on their wedding day.
The stefana come in pair (as seen in the HQ photos (distant and close-up)) and inside a beautiful box (25Χ25Χ4 cm/ 9.8x9.8x1.6"), white or beige according to the stefana colour. The box is made of paper and lagged with fabric on the inside, while on bottom right it is decorated with the enterprise initials.
OUR NOVELTY(!): The box apart from the stefana includes two small buttonnieres for the groom's and his best man's lapel. The buttonnieres are a miniature of the materials used for the stefana. And now the best part: They are FOR FREE!
Following the whole mindset of the Greek Orthodox Church, the Stefana represent the lives of the bride and groom and therefore every pair of our stefana is carefully designed and crafted with love and excitement, bound with our best wishes for a great new life. Just like their lives which were separate and now unite, the stefana are as well “united” by the priest in shops one, from that moment on and are meant to stay as such forever. The Stefana are blessed during the wedding ceremony and according to the tradition are preserved afterwards in a framework above the newlyweds' bed. This is not exclusively a choice for the bride or the groom, though. Should you also be the best man or the maid of honor, there is no greater gift and none other to always be remembered by as for your good taste. In any case, enjoy!
