Colorful Indonesia Wedding
The more I plan my own wedding, the more a destination fete sounds like pure bliss. In all honestly, one destination I'd never considered was Indonesia, maybe because it's quite a trek for this New England gal. But after seeing this colorful island wedding from 39 East and The Wedding Stylist? I'm convinced that packing up and heading half way around the world, is sooo worth it. See the whole thing right here!
From The Wedding Stylist… Vanessa and James held their wedding at Nikoi Island, Indonesia for an intimate 40 guests. They wanted something fun, relaxing and by the seaside. As they were based in London, this doubled up as a mini vacation for their family and friends.
The wedding ceremony was held in the late afternoon and the area was decorated with colorful ribbons, paper lanterns and garlands. The theme was whimsical and the guests had mini rattan fans, handmade flags embossed with fun quips and bags of airplane-shaped confetti which were cut out from old maps to represent their destination wedding.
After the ceremony, guests were ushered to the pool side which overlooked the sea (amazing view!) where they enjoyed a variety of drinks including 2 signature drinks, Groom's choice and Bride's choice. Escorts cards were placed inside small bottles to make it look like a message in the bottle and each table had a specific seashell picture as its "table number".
The reception was decorated with lanterns hanging from the ceiling, ribbons were used as runners and the flowers were bright, happy colors to bring out the whimsical feel. This wedding was not only colorful but very vibrant and fun! Place cards were inserted into wine corks and a green orchid was placed beside it. Kilner jars were also used at the reception to hold the table center pieces as part of the deco and also as a play on the groom's last name.
After dinner, the couple did their first dance by the beach and straight after, a showcase of fireworks poured into the sky to start the after party!
