[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The couple wanted a soft romantic mood, based on this we decided on a color palette in pastel tones with an ivory base and small touches of yellow.[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Inspired by fairy tales, we have created this concept for the storytelling of

your wedding, where everything is perfect, magical and beautiful.

A very warm decoration, a subtle lighting, soft and elegant flowers and the

perfect music will be the elements that will be present to celebrate the

love story of Basha & Shea.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Shea planned a amaaaazing trip for my birthday and invited my brother and sister in law too. So i thought this was a birthday trip and was totally surprised. 🥰 We went to dinner at the amazing Wailea Beach Resort and started walking around taking pictures enjoying the beautiful scenery. A photographer from the resort was there and i thought Shea paid him to take some pictures of us because ive been complaining we never take pictures (we both only take pictures of places and things when we travel and rarely have photos of us.) So he suggests some beautiful picture spots, and we walked over to this gorgeous beach area. It was completely empty for some reason & the sun was setting and it was so pretty. Suddenly Shea dropped on one knee and asked me to marry him and it was perfect! Total surprise. He had a beautiful private dinner set up for us on a cliff overlooking the water with tiki torches, tropical flowers, a marry me sign, and a Hawaiian singer playing my favorite songs on an acoustic guitar. He was actually supposed to walk me to that spot and propose there, but got caught up in the moment and did it early on the beach. I really thought we were just going to dinner for my birthday and was not expecting anything at all. So i was totally surprised! It was also nice that my brother & Sister in law were there and had the rest of the family on FaceTime.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]The music of the ceremony was based on traditional music of Sri Lanka.

They had an officiant who traveled with them especially for their rite. The ceremony was very special, the altar was decorated with a carpet and offers such as grains, flowers, leaves and fruits, each of these elements with a meaning of blessings for the couple.[/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]A very special detail was that the groom, as a surprise for the bride, added more decoration elements that the bride did not know about, such as extra flowers, decoration of walls with foliage and lamps, this was very beautiful, because when the space was revealed to the bride and groom It was a big surprise for her.[/field]
