Summer christening in Kea island, June 2012

 Little Giannis' christening ceremony was held at Panagia Kastriani church,
located in Kea island (Tzia) on the Cyclades archipelago, on a sunny and breezy noon of June.

The theme of the baptism decoration was nautical, as per the parents' request, in white and light blue colors and a touch of yellow, just like the colors of the Greek islands!
An anchor shaped handmade clay ornament was the favors' decoration, tied with twine on natural driftwoods, collected in various beaches in Greece.
Such nautical style, accompanied the entity of the decoration: clay anchors, little boats and cute fishes, combined with white gauze fabric and silk ribbons were present at the christening candle ornament composition, the table centerpieces and the handmade guests' bracelets - martyrika.
The traditional white dragèes offered along with the favors, tasted like lemon and greek mastic.

The guests will reminisce this very special day, as the newly christened's name is handwritten on this favor gift, making it an everlasting keepsake!
