About Mrs. Star

For a bright and bold color-lovin’ gal such as myself (look for me, I’m the only person in New York City not wearing a black coat), there’s just no beating Greece! Everywhere we turned, there was one fabulous array of dazzling color after another. I was in heaven, and wondering why we don’t decorate like this here in the United States!

I hope you love the shots I took of all the colors as much as I do…

Buildings in Oia on Santorini were bold and beautiful

Even when it’s mostly white, there are still fabulous infusions of that famous Santorini blue

I would love to get to walk through that door every day

Flowers that look as bright as they smelled

These aren’t even fancy buildings, everyday souvenir shops are decorated this nicely!

Everywhere we turned, there was a blue dome more beautiful than the next on Santorini

And colorful merchandise made up for any white walls in sight!

Even in the Archaeological Museum in Athens (an admittedly stodgy place!), there were bold colors

How fabulous would these be for wedding decor, right? Can we get married again?

I would love to paint a house like this and then my neighbors would hate me

Have you ever seen water so blue? This was off the side of the ferry from Athens to Santorini.

If I had chosen my wedding colors AFTER going on our honeymoon, I’m pretty sure they would have been Greece-inspired! Since my wedding planning is over, I’ll have to plan an apartment party of some type with these photos as part of my inspiration board.

What inspires you?

These shots are GORGEOUS!!! My mom wants us to go to Greece for our honeymoon, but I am SO set on Paris… I might have to bail on that, though, after seeing all the great Greece shots from the Bees!

We went to Athens and Santorini for our honeymoon too. If you can splurge, Santorini was worth every penny to go to. We loved every minute there. Pictures do not do the place justice!

Mrs Star did you get a chance to rent an ATV to tour the island? We loved Perissa beach, the tours of the winerys, and most of all we hike the volcano. I wanna go back!

@honeydew: Yes, Santorini was worth every penny! We went in the offseason, so it wasn’t too expensive or crowded, which was nice!

We had an amazing time on our rented ATV — stay tuned for a post that involves it! ;)

@KMSull: I would be very torn between Paris and Greece, because Greece was stellar (haha), but I loved Paris, too. Lucky for me, I had already been to Paris, so I didn’t have to choose!

Amazing! My sister and I are thinking of taking my mom to Greece for her 60th birthday in a couple of years, so these pics make me want to go even more.

I am in serious love with your photos. Send me a DM with where you guys stayed in Santorini (and if you recommend it). The FI and I really want to go there for our honeymoon.

Thanks - The Landlocked Bride
