In September 2024, Victoria Monfort and Hugo Cremaschi said “yes” in a wedding straight out of the movie Oh mama! on the unspoilt island of Spetses, Greece, a place full of emotions for the couple. In a relationship since December 2020 after Victoria contacted Hugo for fake guitar lessons, they welcomed their daughter a year after they met. Living their lives at 100 miles per hour, the actress, screenwriter and producer and actor, screenwriter and musician wanted a wedding in their image in their favorite place: “to have done things a little against the grain (I I got pregnant after 3 months of our love story) made this marriage even stronger and more symbolic. The presence of all our friends on a distant island and especially the presence of our daughter Nala who is old enough to remember a little bit… It was all a torrent of emotions!”
As soon as they arrived in Spetses, the guests were immersed in the world imagined by the bride and groom, where every detail seemed to reflect their story. A first welcome evening, organized at Bikini, a local restaurant with typical charm, set the tone: under a clear sky, lulled by the Greek breeze, they met family and friends from the four corners of the world to celebrate this exceptional moment . “It was unique. Just before, the two of us had shot a few photos with our team of US photographers, on a quad bike at the other end of the island,” recalls Victoria Monfort with emotion.

With his idea of a bohemian style in mind, Victoria Monfort opted for bridal outfits combining elegance and daring throughout the festive weekend. For this welcome evening, she chose a short lace dress House of Flora associated with offsets Chanel in cream tweed, adding a touch of sophistication to its casual look. For the wedding ceremony on the beach, Victoria wore a cream lace wedding dress, fluid and airy, custom-made by the Frenchwoman Alice Dupraz-Toulouse. “This lace was given to her by her grandmother when she launched her line, it was a dream,” she confides, moved by this touch full of symbolism. She paired it with custom nude gladiator sandals, fitting for that laid-back, typically Greek vibe. In the evening, to open the ball, she swapped her long dress for a sequinned mini dress Clio Peppiatt inspired by patterns of the moon and sun, a nod to the vibrant energy of the island. Each outfit, carefully thought out, reflected the free and luminous spirit of the bride.
On the day of the wedding ceremony, the atmosphere was full of tenderness and authenticity. Kaiki Beach, decorated with simplicity and elegance, hosted a floral arch of daisies and gypsophila. Victoria Monfort, resplendent in her bohemian outfit, was taken to the hotel by her father, the journalist Nelson Monfort. “I chose to join Hugo on The wonder of you of The Villagerson my dad’s arm. I had to take a break because I was so moved and happy,” she explains. The exchange of vows, punctuated by the moving testimonies of their loved ones and the presence of their almost 3-year-old daughter Nalamarked one of the most intense moments of this timeless day.

Then, the dinner took place in a friendly atmosphere, where the generosity of the dishes on the spit was matched only by the good humor of the guests present. The bride and groom, attentive to the smallest details, had thought of everything so that everyone could fully enjoy the celebration. After the feast, everyone was able to enjoy a varied dessert buffet, ranging from brownies to fresh fruit, culminating in a wedding cake decorated with personalized figurines, even including their dog, Hercule. “For the big party-goers, there was an American-style snack of breaded chicken and fries which was very successful at 3 a.m.,” says Victoriaamused.
