Greek cross stitching designs

I am a greek american who is making my own wedding dress (tradition white etc etc) i want to include some traditional greek crosstiching like is found on folk costumes as a way to honor my yiayia who was an incredible cross sticher, but she never taught anyone the traditional designs. She was from peleponisos, does anyone have any good ideas?

So far all im getting is people rolling their eyes because modern greeks "dress like everyone else"- thank you i know i have been many times. And "if you want greek theme make it ancient greek"-not at all related to what im asking.

I really value the holding of culture through traditional crafts, and want to honor my families history, but also dont know how to, and its only men left who dont know anything.
