Bali Wedding Ideas and Inspiration

How One Couple Brought European Romance to Their Cliffside Bali Wedding

From their ceremony views to the bride’s knockout gown – this Bali affair had no shortage of “wow-worthy” moments. When the bride approached her planner with an idea of a “dolce vita” wedding in Bali – the talented team at Call Me Madame knew just how to make their wedding dreams a reality. Bloomz Fine Flowers created heavenly arrangements filled with pastel pink and white roses. Head on over to the full gallery, captured by Saya Photography, to see how it all came together.

How did you two meet?

From the Bride… My side of the story: It was Halloween of 2014. I had just moved to Hong Kong 3 weeks prior and was ready to go out and see what the city had in store for me. Halloween is the busiest and craziest night in Hong Kong’s bar/club scene and I was filled with excitement to see what the hype was all about. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get from the train station to the bar where I was supposed to meet up with some friends. For reference sake; on a normal day, it would take 2/3 minutes to get from the train station to the bar, so “crowded” is an understatement here. When I finally reached the bar, which felt like eternity, I hesitated on going in. It seemed like coming out that night was a complete mistake and I wasn’t ready for a whole night of squishy human sandwich party. My friend insisted I go in for a drink and unwillingly, I got dragged in. Upon entering the bar, I scanned the perimeter and found myself intrigued by a guy with a cute smile wearing a chequered dress shirt. This lame individual who didn’t even bother dressing up on Halloween is Jas (typical). At the time, he was inconveniently flirting (he claims it was just talking) with another girl. “Damn it” I thought. “I’ve come too late! The cute one’s gone!” Well, as it appears, I had come at just the right time because shortly after, Jas found himself chatting up with yours truly, and the rest, as we know it, is…history.

Jas’ side: At a Halloween party through a friend. I went up to her and introduced myself and started talking to her and she left the night with my number in her phone.

Tell us about the proposal!

We planned a trip to the Middle East and Dubai was our first stop. To set the backstory, let’s just say I’m the planner of the relationship and had planned the whole trip while Jas wasn’t even sure which cities we were going to. So when he told me he wanted to plan a romantic evening for the two of us in Dubai and packed his suit & dress shoes (when he’s usually always in t-shirts and jeans/sweats), my spidey senses told me something was up. Nonetheless, I didn’t know where exactly he was taking me. The car took us to a hotel on the Palm Island, where we had to hop on a golf cart that took us to the back side of the hotel, and I was greeted with an aisle of fired torches leading up to our private dinner at the beach. With a bouquet of roses in hand and the most romantic dinner setting, it was only a matter of polishing off our appetizers, mains, and desserts before finally popped the question and nervously opened the ring box, of which a beautiful ring sat; upside down.

Tell us about finding your dress!

I had gone to a few wedding dress shops in Hong Kong and was discouraged at the outrageous price tag attached to the dresses. Either the dresses weren’t my style and was at a reasonable price or were imported name brand ones that could put a hole in your wallet. My solution? I went to China and got a no branded dress that I loved at a fraction of the cost. Best decision ever!

Tell us about your wedding flowers!

I wanted something traditional, but a little rustic with muted colours that suited our wedding theme colours which were pastel pink, peach and green. I sent some images I liked and let the florist do her magic. I had no idea what it would look like until I saw it on the wedding day, and needless to say; I wasn’t disappointed!

What advice would you give to a couple planning their wedding?

Set a budget with your significant other, then make a list of the top things that are important to the both of you for this wedding. With that list, you can spend money according to both of your priorities. But honestly, the best advice I can give a couple planning their wedding is…to find a good wedding planner! Our wedding planner Alice from Call Me Madame and her team made our wedding the magical wonderland it was. If you have a good planner, the rest is easy.

Most memorable moment?

There were so many memorable moments, it’s hard to choose! From the ceremony of walking down the aisle, saying our vows, seeing our loved ones enjoying themselves celebrating our love, the toasts, the view, the crying, the laughing, the joy…it was truly the best day of our (Jas & I’s) lives.

Tell us a little bit about your honeymoon!

Technically we didn’t have one? Jas and I travel together quite frequently so I guess we’ll be honeymooning for the rest of our lives.

This Hot Pink and Green Bali Wedding Is the Definition of Island Chic.

If you’re looking for some real wedding inspo that combines your love for island life and resort chic style – this one’s for you! From sweeping ocean views at the cliffside ceremony to dinner and dancing underneath the palms, this gallery from Oliver Fly Photography will have you reaching for a one-way ticket to paradise. Call Me Madame planned the entire tropical wedding weekend to perfection while the bride stunned in not one but TWO gorgeous designer gowns. Keep on reading for all the must-know details!

What did you envision your wedding being prior to planning?

From the Bride… We both love to travel and knew right away we wanted to have a destination wedding with breathtaking views. Bali has always had a special place in our hearts as it was our first vacation together in Asia while we were dating long-distance. Eric lives in Hong Kong and at the time I lived in Vancouver. Being on separate continents and an entire ocean apart Bali was the perfect romantic location for us to spend time together. During that first trip we fell completely in love with the magical atmosphere and majestic views.

What was your color palette and your style vision?

We always wanted a lot of pastel colours and whites, something very island chic, relaxed and beautiful. We were looking for a romantic garden wedding with the tropical vibes of Bali.

Why did you choose this wedding venue?

Ungasan Clifftop Resort is an incredible location and ticked all our boxes. It has a stunning view, it offers a lot of privacy, and it has a lot of greenery and beautiful diverse landscaping. We wanted to spend as much time with our wedding guests as possible which meant that an afterparty venue was a mandatory requirement. Sundays Beach Club served that purpose perfectly and was a great surprise and final reveal once the reception finished. The villa accommodations were a relaxing oasis for our wedding weekend and the in-house kitchen which catered our wedding was excellent.

What unique elements or DIY details did you include?

We wanted to incorporate some of our core values and tastes into our wedding details. It’s one of the key reasons we chose Alice Dentan (Call Me Madame) as our wedding planner as she creates unique weddings tailored to each couple. My husband and I try to be particularly thoughtful whenever we plan an event or buy a gift, we always try to put in that additional effort to think of meaningful details. We brought this same value to working with Alice to produce an exceptional wedding. This was incorporated into our music choices, design elements, etc to create an adventure for our guests. We took our guests on a journey of tears, laughter, dancing, three cakes and one macaroon tower and four stunning venue reveals in one night! It was the wedding of our dreams and such fun experience for everyone.

What was your favorite moment? Your favorite detail?

Our wedding planner Alice Dentan (Call Me Madame) did an incredible job so it’s hard to pick only one favourite moment from our wedding. The most meaningful and emotional moment was walking down the aisle and seeing our vision after a year of planning realized. The stunning ceremony setup overlooking a clifftop view, the gorgeous florals, and the live acoustic duet performing a cover of Guns n Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine. Seeing everything come together and seeing my amazing husband waiting brought me tears of joy.

Tell us about your flowers, your gown, your favors for your guests, your cake, etc…

We were so lucky that Natalie Palmer (Paper Diamonds) agreed to be our florist. Her taste is exquisite and combined with Alice Dentan (Call Me Madame) they exceeded our expectations. Our bouquets were one-of-a-kind, just stunning and amazing to see our vision board realized. I was lucky enough to wear two beautiful dresses. My ceremony dress was a traditional sweetheart fitted gown with beautiful scalloped lace. I worked with Bisou Bridal in Vancouver to pair it with the perfect earrings, veil and custom off-the shoulder sleeves. It was my dream ceremony dress, I’m still absolutely in love. I really wanted to be comfortable at our reception, to be able to dance easily and to enjoy our wedding food so I purchased a second gown with a completely different neckline and silhouette. The second dress was so light and comfortable, I finished the night very late at Sundays Beach Club sitting on the tulle of my reception dress listening to the ocean waves. We were very concerned that purchasing favours would contribute to one-time-use plastics and were very thoughtful about wanting a sustainable option. Alice Dentan (Call Me Madame) recommended an excellent locally made option – bamboo straws with pipe cleaner and a custom cloth cover. My husband and I both agreed we didn’t want a traditional multi-tiered wedding cake. We found an inspiration photo for multiple individual cakes and knew that’s exactly what we wanted. It was one of the most popular reveals of the whole night, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many wedding guests so excited to eat cake!

What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be ?

Enjoy. Every. Moment. Live in the present on your wedding day, and don’t sweat the small things. Soak in the happiness and joy surrounding you, it’s such a beautiful feeling.

The Dreamiest Ruffled Wedding Dress That Will Leave You Blushing

Today we’re sharing some pretty from Her Maid of Honor that will without a doubt have you considering Bali for your destination wedding or elopement. The talented team at Bali Signature transformed the geometric design of Alila Villas Uluwatu with hanging pampas grass installations complete with sweet peas, ranunculus and roses (only the absolute dreamiest blooms of course). The modern yet soft tablescape captured by Alice Ahn perfectly complimented the dramatic views of the terrace. Our favorite part, you ask? The dress. Ohhh, the dress… grown-up girly girls are about to fall in love with this blushing beauty. See the full gallery for more!

From Her Maid of Honor… Bali is popularly known for its beautiful beaches and culture, but what most people are not familiar with is Uluwatu, the Southern Part of the island. Perched on limestone cliffs 100 metres above the Indian Ocean, the view from Alila Villas is nothing less than picture-perfect-aquamarine ocean vistas & glorious golden sunsets.

The architectural design of the venue is very modern with its signature pattern of wood slated pavilion. Our focus for the shoot is to create a design that works with the surrounding without overwhelming it. We picked feather as the basis of the design with a purpose to soften out the wooden geometrical pattern. We started the day with bridal preparation inside the villa followed by a ceremony in sunset cabana.

We kept things modern with the use of ghost chairs so they do not obstruct the amazing view, and added a hanging installation made of pampas grass which has a feather feel to it. With the help of Jeanny from Bali Signature, we transformed the lookout terrace into an intimate dinner setting.

She opted for beautiful flowers, such as lunaria , sweet pea, lagurus, ranunculus, roses, and preserved ferns, all in beautiful pastel shade, combined with a punch of pink in the menu and place card designed by Parler Studio. Photographed by Alice Ahn during sunset, the white turned into golden pink which makes the set up looks very dreamy.

A Destination Wedding at Alila Villas Uluwatu Rich with Balinese Culture

There’s nothing we love more than when a bride and groom choose to embrace the local culture of their wedding venue – it makes any wedding design all the more beautiful and special, don’t you agree?! This adorable couple tied the knot at Alila Villas Uluwatu with the help of Luxury Weddings Indonesia on a custom floating stage under a towering tropical arbor by Rose & Willow. The entire day is like a dream – see for yourself through these gorgeous images from Axioo Bali!

From Luxury Weddings Indonesia… Whilst hailing from Taiwan, Angela and Henry wanted their guests to be immersed in the local culture of the country they chose for their wedding, embracing the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia.

They reached out to Luxury Weddings Indonesia because of the company reputation with holding beautiful weddings at the stunning Alila Villas Uluwatu located on the southern cliffs of Bali. The decorator for the wedding, Rose and Willow, helped them to incorporate a lot of Indonesian cultural and traditional elements into the event; sourcing local foliage and flowers, lots of bamboo, rattan furniture and hanging lamps, Balinese umbrellas, hand-woven macrame and Tenun Ikat Jepara, – Javanese batik.

For the wedding ceremony we built a floating stage and ceremony area atop the resort’s central swimming pool, the aisle beginning at reception and continuing all the way to the end of the infinity pool on the cliff edge overlooking the ocean. The white aisle was decorated on either side by acrylic pedestals with glass vases of tropical leaves and baby’s breath. This lead to the altar and the palm leaf and monstera leaves wedding arch.

After the ceremony guests gathered for cocktails in the garden surrounded by big Balinese umbrellas with sofas underneath for them to chill and cover themselves from the heat of the setting sun. We included a photo corner with peacock styled rattan chairs so the guests could have the moment captured forever. For dinner we built 250 square meters of white wooden flooring covered by transparent tent on the lawn of Alila.

The tent was decorated with rattan lamps of various sizes, tropical greeneries and lot of fairy lights. We also hung rattan baskets sourced from a local Balinese market and adorned them with more freshly picked greenery. The guests were seated on wooden bentwood chairs of natural colors alongside tables adorned with centerpieces of intricate local rare white flowers and more greenery. As the sun went down all the lights and torches were lit up and created a beautiful ambience, a day and night in Bali to remember. Captured by Andreas Permadi from Axioo Bali Photography.

Minimalistic Bali Destination Wedding at Alila Villas Uluwatu

When you look back at your wedding images, you’ll barely remember the little details you stressed over during the planning process, or those tiny things that went wrong that felt so BIG in the moment. You’ll see images like this, that make you relive the anticipation of getting ready to meet your love or ones like this, where you can almost feel the golden hour sun on your shoulders. Thanks to Axioo Bali, this duo gets to do just that when they look back on their Big Day—and we get to join in, right here.

From the Bride… Finding my wedding mood board was not exactly difficult. I think somewhere along the ways, I have always envisioned a clean minimalistic look that oozes modern and elegant vibes at the same time. I adore soothing colors, fluid lines, and basic touches that spell sophistication at its finest.

I personally think it’s crucial for a bride to know what she wants out of her wedding. It made everything so much easier, so much fun too. By pinpointing your theme, it will effortlessly translate to everything else : the design of your dress and the bridesmaids’, the flower bouquets, the venue, all the details and what you expect from all vendors.

Choosing Bali as a wedding destination was also another easy decision to make. Other than personal reasons, it’s safe to say that it’s one of the most romantic places on earth. Everyone would want to be wedded here, wouldn’t you? This made Axioo Bali as the clear choice too! In a way, it’s like a package deal, the island and photography styling that fit my preference or none at all. And I truly couldn’t be more spoiled or happier.

An Elegant Wedding Amidst The Rice Fields at Villa Kelusa in Bali

Considering that Bali is one of the top wedding destinations in the world, it’s safe to say we’ve seen A LOT of weddings in this tropical locale – but none quite like this beauty! Tamara and Lucky truly embraced the natural elements of Balinese culture. They incorporated everything from elegant bamboo and woven details to bird cages and jungle palms to their wedding decor – elements you can find walking through the villages of Bali. The bride wore an utterly romantic Oscar De La Renta gown as the couple exchanged vows under a tropical arbor created by Bloomz Fine Flowers. It was the dreamiest day all thanks to Hair Indah Wedding Planning & Design. Step inside this enchanting Bali affair below, all captured beautifully by Imaj Gallery…

How did you first meet?

From the Bride…We met at a medical mission in southern Philippines. We were both doctor volunteers at an area devastated by one of the strongest typhoons to make landfall in history called Super- Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda. We joined in the initial relief efforts headed by common colleagues and first met there.

What was the vision for your wedding day?

What was most essential to us in considering our overall vision was to share our special place with our loved ones and honor love as well. We love Bali, particularly Ubud, as it was the location of our first holiday together and many thereafter. We envisioned the typical Ubud background of jungle and rice fields and thought white would stand out well against the lush green background. We decided to keep everything white from the flowers to the dress code. We wanted it to be tropical, natural, and very Balinese thus romantic. The naturally elegant bamboo and woven elements, jungle palms and fragrant white flowers, even bird cages, were what we always loved about Bali. So the decor reflected what one could typically find in the villages and along the country roads of Bali. We had 80 guests consisting of close friends and family which made our wedding feel cozy and intimate.

Describe the wedding, what made it unique and special?

The Ubud villa we chose had the perfect background of rice fields on a jungle ravine and the property layout allowed a natural progression from the entrance to ceremony onto the cocktails then the dinner tent along an elongated ridge. This created a Wow Factor & a surprise at each location along the way. Our guests came from all over the world to share this with us. The decor was particular to the region as we are from the Philippines and being from Southeast Asia we love decor made of bamboo, coconuts, woven baskets, rugs, and pottery. Balinese Penjors which are traditional bamboo poles festooned with rice & flowers welcomed our guests at the villa gates. We had some very personal elements such as amazing chandeliers adorned with fresh strands of jasmine blossoms & the hand crafted chandelier made in Bali which hung on the tree next our arch. We took the hand crafted Balinese chandelier home and now have it with us to remind us of that day! Both of my dresses, chosen & gifted by my Mom, were from Oscar de la Renta’s atelier in London where she works. Did I mention the hand built and crafted wood tent made especially for the site?! The wedding planner, the decorator and the caterer & the photographer were all really amazing! They really made the day what it was!!

Fill us in on the flowers used for floral arrangements!

Our floral arrangements were kept “wild but still pretty” and smelled amazing, using a lot of fragrant flowers typical of Bali including tuberoses, frangipani, white lotus flowers and jasmine. In addition there were lots of tropical leaves, fresh rice grass & coconuts throughout the venue.

Talk to us about your bridal style:

I was lucky enough to be styled by my mother who works in fashion. I wore an Oscar de la Renta gown and changed into a shorter lace dress later in the evening also by Oscar dela Renta. We chose both dresses instantly, with one fitting without needing to try anything else because we felt both were so perfect especially for Bali. My dangling white floral earrings were also by Oscar de la Renta. I wore a very thin custom By Chari bracelet in rose gold that had the letters L and T. My shoes were rose gold with embroidered flowers by Kate Spade. My bridal bag was also in a shade of rose gold by Cult Gaia. Our wedding bands were from Tiffany, mine was thin rose gold and the groom’s was black titanium and rose gold mix.

What about the handsome groom?

The groom’s bespoke three piece beige suit was custom made by Suit It Up Manila using a really light Dormieul linen blend fabric from London perfect for the Bali weather. His brown brogues were by Colehaan.

An Elegant Marble and Rose Gold Wedding at Soori Bali

Today’s beautiful bride and her amazing planner, Call Me Madame, blended two of our favorite trends to create the most magical affair at Soori Bali. Throughout this gorgeous day, you will find elegant elements of marble woven into the design and fun pops of rose gold at every turn. Paper Diamonds created lush floral arrangements that complimented the breathtaking scenery while also adding a little dose of drama! Take in the views and watch this stunning Bali wedding day unfold at the full gallery, all captured by Rory Wylie.

From the bride… I took a deep breath, cradled my dad’s arm and we walked together slowly up the stone path towards the helipad. I looked down at the beautiful pink anemones (all the way from Japan!) nested in my exquisite bouquet by Paper Diamonds and I was in a trance. As we drifted to the ceremony, I scanned familiar faces set against the romantic layout in front of me, backdropped by the waves crashing on the cliff top, and then I saw Mark – my soon to be husband, I held back a tear. We had visited Bali two years before and fell in love with the dramatic cliff tops, sounds of nature and the wonderful Balinese food. We had no doubt when we got engaged that we wanted to invite our friends and family to our favourite place in the world to celebrate our special day.

We chose the Soori for its unique black sand beaches, impeccable service and conservationist ethos. The resort’s owner-architect has married clean modern architecture with local rice fields and a striking coastline seamlessly to create a sanctuary, backdropped by Bali’s famous mountains. We exchanged vows before dancing down the aisle as our charming photographer Rory Wylie snapped it all! She was up for anything and worked tirelessly to capture our memories – we are so grateful for her efforts and good spirits! When we first met with our planner, Alice Dentan from Call Me Madame I painted a vision of an elegant marble and rose gold theme, with a touch of drama.

Mademoiselle Dentan certainly hit the nail on the head which magical touches of her signature French style, and her little black book did not disappoint – we were thrilled with the partners she recommended. Our jaws dropped at sunset when we arrived at our reception marquee which had taken four days to set up! It was a magnificent [25 foot tall] structure draped in soft white fabrics, long tables lined with cool stone crockery sat on rose gold chargers, crystal cut water tumblers and rose gold rimmed wine glasses. Each guest was gifted a personalized hexagonal marble name tile, elegantly penned by Pi Calligraphy. Speeches weaved throughout courses and as night fell our guests were ushered outside for a spectacular firework display, after cutting our four tier marble monogrammed cake, we danced our first dance… The next day, all I could think was “can we do this every year?”- I’ve yet to run this by my new husband, but as they say, a happy wife is a happy life!

A Destination Wedding at Khaygangan Estate, a Previous Royal Residence in Bali

Bali will forever by one of our absolute favorite locales for a destination wedding, and we can’t help but feel so excited about it’s growing popularity! This gorgeous day captured by Taylor & Porter Photographs was held at a previous royal residence, Khaygangan Estate – how amazing is that?! It’s complete with white orchids galore arranged by Paper Diamonds and not one but two stunning designer gowns. It’s everything we’ve ever wanted in a tropical destination wedding on our fave little island.

From Taylor & Porter Photographs… Matt & Anabel were married in the historic setting of the Khaygangan Estate, a previous Royal Residence, on the heavenly tropical island of Bali.

Hailing from Singapore, they flew their nearest and dearest to this sensational island to party in style in celebration of their love. It was the most magical day from start to finish. Their ceremony delivered a “wow” moment for their guests as they exchanged vows under a canopy of dripping orchids and greenery arranged by Paper Diamonds.

Anabel is a previous member of the Singapore Philharmonic Orchestra and a real highlight of the day was when she serenaded Matt with a surprise solo performance of one of their favourite songs. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place!

After the ceremony, Anabel changed into another gorgeous gown and guests dined al fresco under never ending strings of twinkly lights. The reception couldn’t have been more magical – it was something out of a fairytale.

We finished the celebrations on a volcanic black sand beach with Anabel’s Reem Acra gown catching the last light of the sunset of a truly amazing destination wedding.

Bringing a Rich, Fall Color Palette to a Bali Wedding at Amanusa

Fall and Bali aren’t a common duo but one look at this day so beautifully captured by Erich McVey + a film by AXIOO Bali and you are going to forget that tropical locales and stunning autumnal color palettes don’t usually go hand in hand. Not to mention that this affair was planned in a mere two months (!!!) The awesome team of vendors including design by Flying Bride, planning by Luxury Weddings Indonesia, florals and decor by Rose and Willow, and stationery by Veronica Halim deserve a major standing ovation. FULL GALLERY

From the stylist…Xiaomin and Hao’s wedding was one beautiful wedding that we managed to design and execute within a short 2 months wedding preparation. Inspired by the color of autumn as they started their relationship during one fine autumn day, and using fresh fruits in the arrangement as the bride is a food nutritionist who is passionate about healthy living, the wedding combined an interesting color palette with fresh fruit as part of its arrangement.

The stationery has watercolor of falling leaves in the color palette to match the whole autumn love story. Not only the stationery, but every little detail of this wedding was customized to make the wedding feels extra special. Like the silk ribbon that we custom ordered in a specific shade to match the color palette of the wedding.

We used the custom silk ribbon not only for the bridal and bridesmaid bouquet, but also to tie the hand fan for ceremony and the linen pouch that holds potpourri for the flower shower.

The bride told me that in Chinese tradition they must give something sweet like candies and chocolates to the wedding guests. Since she herself is a nutritionist and a foodie, she wants to provide her guests with her fave high quality dark chocolate from Royce.

Instead of providing candies we put a few of the individually wrapped dark chocolate inside a linen packaging in delicious candy shape, wrap them with paper that has the wedding “autumn leaves” drawn in watercolor and then each “Candy” was hand calligraphed with the guest’s name before finally tied with the custom color silk ribbon. Such a lovely and thoughtful gift given to each guest that served as the wedding place card as well.

Last but not least, we also sprayed the bride’s favourite perfume on the wedding day and gave out room spray with the same scent as souvenir for the guests so as the guests spray it at home, they will be brought back to the memories of Xiaomin and Hong’s beautiful Bali wedding.

Luxe Wedding in Paradise at Ayana Resort and Spa

Luxe doesn’t even begin to describe the sheer beauty of this Bali affair. Planned by Twogather, and held at Ayana Resort and Spa, it has florals by Hello Designmill Co. packed into each and every corner and some seriously beautiful and heartfelt moments photographed by Axioo Bali. Come for the tropical views and stay for the sweet, sweet moments all right here.

Sherly and Martin’s wedding was like in fairytale, just like every little girl have ever dreamt when they were a kid. From the breathtaking views on the cliff facing the ocean, the sunset, and the green lawn, which make everyone including the couple to fall in love at the first sight to the place.

The Bride and the Groom were coming from different cities in Indonesia, and choosing Bali for their wedding destination. Planning a destination wedding for 250 guests were never easy, but it was totally worth it. Everything was perfect, the weather was nice and even we got sunset as a bonus before moving to reception area.

The theme of the wedding called elegance of rustic natural. The Bride really loves things that are feminine, natural yet modern. Designmill. Co as their flowers and decoration vendors suggested to have white as their main color, with a touch of nudes, beige and blush as a feminine feels, and putting on abstract pattern as background in dinner area to inject the modern feels. The flowers for the bouquet consists of cotton, lunaria, dusty miller, eucalyptus and a lil bit touch of white italian ruscus.

A Blush Dream of a Wedding at the Alila Uluwatu Bali

Bali is surely one of the “it” places right now to vacation or tie the knot and I’m not mad about it. Cue all the tropical vibes for this beautiful destination wedding for Aussie couple Tyla and Tristan with lively photos by Axioo Bali and romantic details everywhere by Varawedding! Inspired with the incredibly luxurious venue, the Alila Villas Uluwatu, these two celebrated the night away under twinkle lights and dined at lovely blush tables. Oh, and just wait until you hear about their sweet 7 year old son’s impromptu speech! SO sweet!

Tyla’s look was the perfect mix of tropical beauty and classic bride. LOVED her low-back gown and her effortless hairstyle! Great beach look…

Their sweet family photo is EVERYTHING. Now this is what a wedding is all about – the start of a new family.

From the bride…

How did you two meet? We met through mutual friends. Tristan had started up a marketing company and I was one of his first employees as a graphic designer. However it wasn’t until 5 years later when we bumped into each other at a popular bar in Sydney; and that’s where we had our first kiss. Funny enough after a few more drinks Tristan jokingly proposed to me on the dance floor and I faintly remember one of our friends pretending to be a priest and marrying us that night.

What was the funniest moment of the wedding? When our 7 year old son introduced us onto the dance floor and at the end of his speech he shared an embarrassing moment about me coming home in a wheelchair (This happened on the night of my hens a few days before our wedding) It was unexpected and very cheeky of him but it made everyone laugh, even me!

What was your favorite moment of the wedding? I have so many favourite moments but one that stands out would be walking down the aisle with my mum and seeing my daydream and a years worth of planning come to life. Our ceremony was beautifully set up in the breathtaking Alila clifftop cabana which made it all the more surreal. I remember that moment walking in and seeing Tristan standing there, his face was all flushed with slight tears and that made me very emotional as I’ve never seen him like that before. Even though we had kids before marriage, being able to share our vows in front of our 3 children just made the whole experience even more special and memorable.

Please tell us the story of the proposal… Tristan took me on a surprise trip to the Maldives. I didn’t know where we were going until we got to the airport. On the day we arrived he had organized a candle lit dinner on a nearby private island with our own chef and waiters. When it was time for dessert, the staff presented a dome covered in flowers saying that this was a very special Maldivian dessert. When I opened it up there was another flower dome. That was when my heart stopped and I knew he was about to propose to me. I opened it up and there was the ring! Tristan then got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I remember crying because I wasn’t dressed as nicely as I always imagined I would be while getting proposed to. I totally didn’t expect that Tristan could organize this without me knowing (he totally aced it). At exactly 11pm that night, it poured down rain and just like in the movies we ran for cover. We were totally drenched when we got back to our room but it was one of the best memories we’ve shared together!

What inspired your wedding theme? I always knew my bridesmaid dresses would be a combination of blush, pink and gold colours so I based our wedding theme around that. I decided that I wanted our decor to be elegant but also simple as our wedding venue was already so beautiful on its own. After looking at a lot of Instagram and Pinterest pics I was really inspired by the soft look and feel of pampas plants so I told our decorator that I wanted lots and lots of pampas and they totally delivered.

How did you know about Varawedding? During my initial research on Bali weddings, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start I decided to just pick up the phone and speak to a wedding planner. Varawedding stood out to me while searching wedding planners in Bali and I was very lucky to have had Sasha Barbara pick up the phone that day and after speaking with her, she helped me with quotations and she also organized the venue viewings for us. We then met in person in Bali during the venue viewings and after that Sasha pretty much guided us through it all from start to finish. Sasha and her team at Varawedding went above and beyond for us and I will be forever grateful!

Spectacular Bali Wedding at the Stunning Soori Bali Resort

One of the things that makes my job so fun is the vast range of weddings that we get to be a part of – from a rustic barn in Maine to the shores of Bali, no two weddings are alike. And if you take the time to dig in a little, I’ve never seen a single wedding story that directly mimics another. The people, the emotions, the moments are all different, all entirely unique. This wedding – photographed to dreamy perfection by Erich McVey and designed flawlessly by Flying Bride – embraces the beaches of Bali and forces you out from behind your computer and into the infinite beauty of an oceanside affair.

From Flying Bride… The Bride and Groom’s direction for the wedding was clear: they wanted a wedding that would blend beautifully with the surrounding of Soori Bali, their stunning venue. With that in mind, I designed their wedding to be inspired by the breathtaking beach of Soori Bali. The color of the blue ocean, its white foam and various shades of sand from neutral to dark grey which represents the “black sand” at Soori, became the main color palette of the wedding.

Another unique element of her wedding was her hand bouquet, made out of tuberoses carefully sewn one by one in order to create a bouquet full of tuberoses. This particular flower was Vivi’s dad’s favourite. Sadly, he has passed away and couldn’t walk with Vivi down the aisle. That was why Vivi wanted to have the tuberoses bouquet so it would be like having her father walking her down the aisle.

To follow on with the nautical theme, which color has inspired the wedding, we used natural nautical elements such as luminous oyster and capiz shells to be combined with rows of dramatic candles to decorate various long, dark wooden tables. While most brides dream of having luscious flowers on their wedding day, Vivi, who is unlike most girls, prefer to have her wedding the opposite way. Both Yoga and she are not fond of flowers. The challenge was to find an element to replace flowers on their wedding. However, Vivi once told us that she used to have a terrarium with beautiful succulents inside. This made Yoga laughed so hard as he said the succulent which could stay alive even without water, died in her hands. They both laughed. The funny story became a memorable moment for them. So I decided to replace the use of flowers on the table arrangement with various exotic succulents. Drapery and rows of terrarium lamps added so much elegance overhead.

Last but not least, the 9 tier wedding cake was a symbol to represent the couple’s 9 years relationship. The breathtaking cake was made with amazing nautical textured element made by the most skilled cake artisan in Indonesia. It was truly icing to the very wonderful and memorable wedding.

Come for the Bali Backdrop, Stay for the Dreamy Black Tie Affair

You all are in for such a treat because today we are diving into three insanely beautiful features from friend and photographer extraordinaire, Erich McVey. First up is a destination affair like no other. When we think of Bali, it’s all tropical beaches and lush greenery and this wedding definitely has all of that. BUT, it also incorporates a fully decked out black tie celebration designed by Joy Proctor and planned by Wedding Atelier, along with florals by Bows and Arrows. It’s crazy gorgeous with a side of vacation wanderlust.

From Joy Proctor… Erin and Matt’s wedding was inspired by the beauty and culture of Bali. The neutral color palette of creme, taupe and green with gold and wood accents were taken from the landscape and architecture of Bali. The historic Villas at Khayangan Estate set the perfect backdrop for the oceanfront event. Guests were greeted with fresh coconuts and they made their way to the ceremony. After exchanging vows, the couple invited their guests for drinks and canapés as the sun set. The reception was held in a draped tent with woven lamps hanging overhead. The tables were filled with locally foraged flowers and heavy candlelight. Much of the design was inspired by Erin’s stunning Naeem Kahn gown. The lace pattern was used throughout the stationery as well as the cake including laser cut invitations and menus.

Bridesmaids Dressed in Ikat Printed Gowns? Yes, Please!

This romantic white wedding comes with a bohemian twist. That twist would be bridesmaids in mix and match ikat dresses. It’s stunning and only adds to the tropical, cultural vibes of this Bali affair designed by Flying Bride, along with planning by Luxury Weddings Indonesia. From layers of white florals, to that bold bridesmaid style and a cameo from the couple’s beloved pup who couldn’t make the festivities, there’s more than meets the eye with this celebration. Get cozy with the all the stunning details plus a welcome party to remember in the full gallery photographed by Angga Permana.

From the beginning, the bride Bianca had a clear idea of what she wants. A traditional style welcome dinner and an organic white wedding for the wedding day.

Welcome dinner
To create a totally different ambiance to the classic white wedding, we designed the welcome dinner to be bold and beautiful with color such as red, purple and lavender as inspired by the tenun ikat (traditional fabric) which we hung on the bamboo structure. The color of the flowers and the cushions were within these shades and created a very beautiful tone for the event. Since Bianca is a foodie, I decided to combine flowers with various tropical fruit to decorate the table on top of a green table runner made from woven banana leaves. To be truthful to the traditional culture, we used “kendi”, a traditional vase made from clay as vases for the flower arrangement. Some of the tables were low so people could experience sitting in the rattan carpet to eat, just like traditional villagers do. Cluster of bamboo lampshades in various sizes were hung to create extra drama overhead.

Wedding Day
Both Bianca and Kevin loves the nature and Kevin propose when they were having a walk in a botanica garden. Hence, we wanted the white wedding that Bianca dreamy of to have that organic, part of nature feeling with greeneries decorating the tent as if they gree there. We also added preserves butterflies on some of the flower arrangement. Bianca has a frenchie dog (soba) that she loves very much, and would love her to come to the wedding. So a statute of her dear frenchie dog was decorated with flower wreath and the writing “soba wishes she were here” near the registration table. An even smaller statute of soba were put as part of the decoration table which was so cute it became quite a hit with many guests taking picture of it and gushing about it. The final touch we added was the ikat pattern that Bianca loves. If for the welcome dinner the ikat pattern was in bold color decorating the bamboo structure, this time the bridesmaids wore various modern pattern of ikat in the shades of grey. It feels really special to incorporate your culture into your wedding.

Celebrating Under a Sea of the Most Romantic Draped Fabric

One look at this Bali celebration through the lens of Sally Pinera and you’ll be hooked. It’s a given that Khayangan Estate is gorgeous all on its own, but when you throw in the most elegant, tropical affair crafted by Call Me Madame and Bloomz Fine Flowers, it takes this destination to magical proportions. And just wait until you see the reception beautifully draped in fabric. Gorgeous is an understatement.

From Planner Alice Dentan… When Anita and Aiden first got in touch with us, our team at Call Me Madame was absolutely thrilled by their choice of venue: one of Bali’s most elegant venue, the Khayangan Estate. So as to match the grandeur of this stunning setting, we designed a décor that would follow three criteria: refinement, romance and simple sophistication. We decided to use fabrics as the main thread of our styling: in the welcome sign, the stationery, the menus, the place
cards, the guest book and so on… Hence, we sought for the finest handcraft fabric for the welcome signs; for the most elegant silk chiffons to create sweet place cards; for the lightest cotton texture to hang above the dinner in a soft and exquisite ceiling of drapes. We choose a romantic, boudoir look for the ceremony, with a palette of pastels: some light wood Louis chairs, a beautiful taupe canopy created by the amazing team of Bloomz. Our team from Call Me Madame welcomed the guests by distributing them custom-made hand fans by the lovely Anggun from Bunny at Dawn, proposing them some locally made embroidered happy tears tissues and helping them creating their very own cones of petals from our delicate confetti bar. The cocktail styling was created as an indoor-outdoor décor, with a guest book made of small pieces of fabric on which the guests would write their best wishes to the couple, and then pin them on a wood structure, creating a collaborative piece of art. After sunset, the guests looked for their escort cards that we slipped into champagne glasses: “sip and be seated”. So French! We set up the dinner tables under a stunning open wooden structure, with white cotton veils, vintage crystal chandeliers and festoon lights. We selected ash linen tablecloths from The Host Table and the beautiful Louis chairs. Our florist Bloomz created centerpieces in a camaieu of light pink, coral, peach. We used the beautiful taper candles from Creatives Candles, and handcrafted pillar ones. Menus were calligraphed by our favorite Shervi from Pi Calligraphy and printed on off-white fabric. The bride and groom choose a three-tier wedding cake designed by the one and only Gita from Butter Bali, with floating sugar flowers and foliage details. They opened the dancefloor on Yellow by Coldplay, beautifully interpreted by Damaris and her band. And all this under the perfect eye of Sally Pinera!

A Multi-Cultural Celebration With a Beautiful Bali Backdrop

Pulling from their English and Australian backgrounds, this couple chose the insanely gorgeous backdrop of Bali for their Persian/western wedding celebration. The result is the most gorgeous mix of culture and tropical infused decor planned by Call Me Madame, along with florals designed by Bloomz. And just wait until you see this reception under a sea of chandeliers. Get ready for image after breathtaking image through the lens of Katie Grant Photography.

Shadi is English, Christian is Australian and they choose beautiful Bali as the background for their persian-western wedding ceremony. A stunning white colonial cliff-top villa, the salty air, blush and pale pink gorgeous flowers and the endless view on the ocean : this is the setting in which the guests wistnessed Shadi and Christian vows. The couple choose to recreate a french garden for their ceremony : vintage Louis chairs, white large Medicis vases, a metal garden gate as a canopy. The bride wore an absolutely gorgeous dress designed by Modeca, from Js Couture ; the groom got married in a Dolce & Gabbana navy blue suit. The bridesmaids wore off-white mismatched, lace dresses. As for the dining ceremony, we recreated a french pergola, delicately adorned with natural gauze veils for a soft and light look, and hold vintage chandeliers above the tables. Pale pink and blush color palette for the floral arrangements, navy blue details in the stationery with the talented Shervi from Pi Calligraphy and Anaïs from Pastilles et Petits Pois. Elegant tableware from The Host Table. Amazing wedding cake by Butter Bali.

These Globetrotters Picked the Most Magical Spot to Say “I Do”

Greg Finck has a way with gorgeous imagery. Now couple that with the tropical beauty of Bali and the result is picture perfect. For this wanderlusting couple, the Istana Villa proved a dream backdrop for their romantic, garden style wedding designed by Bali Exclusive Wedding + Gloriosa Flowers. It’s all blushing hues, chandelier draped dining and the most stunning cliffside views. Take a peek at the full celebration right here.

From Rachael, the bride… Darren and I are from Scotland originally and currently reside in Den Haag, The Netherlands. Before moving to The Netherlands we spent several years living and working in Singapore. Our love for Asia, and ultimately Bali, lead us to choosing Uluwatu as our picture perfect destination for our wedding day. After visiting Bali in 2013 we fell in love with this beautiful island instantly. Bali is named “The Island of the Gods” and it is easy to see why; a tropical oasis, filled with culture and beauty. However, beauty is not only skin deep with Bali – it in engrained within; the Balinese people mirror the external beauty with their kindness and generosity. Preparation is key when planning a destination wedding! We started our search for Bali wedding venues in the Spring of 2015. The Istana Villa caught our attention straight away with it’s impressive cliff top setting and breathtaking ocean views. After hours of reading online reviews and stalking Instagram, we were sold! Once we had settled on our venue we made contact with different wedding planners in Bali so see which would be the right fit for us. Bali Exclusive Weddings offered what we were looking for; a dynamic wedding coordinating service, specialising in private villa weddings. Organising a destination wedding was much easier than I could have ever expected! I put this largely down to having excellent vendors and also Darren and I being naturally organised individuals. We created spreadsheets to keep us on track with our budget, and also to keep us up to date with our “to-do” lists. Once we booked The Istana in May, we set up a Wedding planning trip to Bali later on in the year to meet with our Wedding planners and potential vendors. Before our visit, we created several mood boards using Pintrest on what we dreamt our wedding day to look and feel like. I created a document containing every little detail we envisaged for our day and brought this along on our trip. Being prepared with our mood boards before meeting with our Wedding Planner and vendors lead to a very successful trip to Bali; on returning to The Netherlands we had everything booked! When I envisaged my wedding day I knew exactly what I wanted to create; a soft, whimsical, romantic, garden wedding. I wanted to keep the decoration classy & elegant which lead me to select my colour scheme; white, cream, pale champagne, pale blush & pale grey. I wanted our decoration colour scheme to mirror that worn by our bridal party which ultimately created a very well put together look & theme for our day. Pinterest was great to gather ideas and categorise each design element in different folders. I spent a lot of my free time looking through bridal magazines, blogs & Instagram for decoration ideas. When I met with my decorator in Bali I discussed what I was looking to create and, for her ease, I had created a mood board for each decoration area (entrance set up, ceremony set up, cocktail arrangement, dinner reception etc)

It was important to me to use locally sourced flowers from Bali. Bali has a wealth of locally grown flowers and I wished to use them all in abundance! With the help of my decorator, Gloriosa Flower House, we selected a large mixture of different local flowers to create our elegant romantic garden theme. Other design elements which were incorporated in our decor were chandeliers. Chandeliers ooze elegance, sophistication and romance and when combined with floral installation they are out of this world glamorous! For our dinner reception I wished to have these lighting our tables outside to create and intimate and elegant atmosphere. Additionally to the chandeliers we asked to have white draping over the bridal table to emphasise the romance. We also wanted to include touches of Scotland & Bali within our decoration. We included a traditional whisky bar for the men to “take a wee dram” and also for those with a sweet tooth, a few Scottish treats to indulge on! For our Balinese elements we selected traditional Balinese umbrellas and wooden fans to shade our guests from the sun and keep them cool. Selecting vendors can be quite daunting as you are ultimately trusting them with one of the most important days of your life! I spent a lot of time researching each vendor and reading reviews where available. I found this very helpful as it provided me with a good idea on what I could expect from each vendor. It is important to listen to your wedding planner for advice as this is their field of expertise but it is also equally important to research their suggestions and source your own vendors to find someone you love. For our wedding we used a mixture of local and international vendors. I knew from the very beginning that photography was very important to our wedding so we could capture the day for years to come. I love soft, fine art photography which looks like it has fallen straight out the pages of a fashion editorial. I found my fabulous photographer, Greg Finck, through Instagram. Greg was the perfect fit for our wedding, he creates the most beautiful photographs which are timeless, elegant and romantic. Luckily for us Greg is a destination photographer and we were delighted when he agreed to join us in

Bringing the French Countryside to the Shores of Bali

When plans for a wedding in Provence fell apart, this couple turned lemons into lemonade and brought the French countryside (and a team of amazing vendors) to the shores of Bali. Incorporating the prettiest pastels, an amphitheater style ceremony overlooking the ocean and a petal toss bar designed by Call Me Madame and Bloomz Fine Flowers, this celebration is the perfect mash-up of these equally gorgeous locales. Pore through stunning images by Studio Ohlala and the cutest film by The Barefoot Bride.

From the Bride…We had originally planned our wedding at a beautiful chateau outside Aix En Provence. I loved everything about Provence and how romantic the tones were, but when that fell apart it was such a blessing in disguise because we ended up with a Provencal wedding in Bali- which was a lot more of a personal, spiritual place for us. And I can’t imagine anything better than that. We had the whole package of pastel tones in the sea, the sky, and the flowers, the breathtakingly peaceful scenery, the magic of Bali, and to top it off an all french wedding team.

We had polaroids of all 90 wedding guests strung from the trees to make it feel more personal, lawn games, a pick your own petal confetti bar, donut wall, and my favourite which was the Splash Zone. It was a large canvas covered in white balloons filled with pastel and gold paints, and all guests got to throw a dart and help create an artwork. Later they signed the back and that was our guest book.

My favourite moment was definitely the ceremony. Our planner worked with Janice, from Bloomz Bali who could not have created a more magical setting. We had Mayan temple inspired arch, an aisle lined with blue and white chinoiserie vases filled with pastel pink and white flowers, and custom made pink, beige and blue and white linen pillows for guests to sit on, with a guitarist playing an acoustic version of the Little Mermaids “Kiss the Girl”- which was my favourite thing in the world because it was my husbands genius suggestion.

Our wedding venue was already the most beautiful place in the world, and was made even more so with all the beautiful details and flower arrangements. The staff at the Ayana Hotel were beyond expectation. For example they quickly realized that Joe liked tequila shots, so there was a waiter by him at all times with a full tray of shots, even on the dance floor! My gown was the most beautiful thing. I didn’t find myself to be the type to wear a big cinderella gown, and then I came across this Inbal Dror piece at Morgan Davies in London and immediately fell in love. It was simple in shape, which perfectly balanced all the beautiful detail. The whole piece glittered. I worked with my planner to help personalise the wedding favours. We had custom scented local soaps with coconut, rose and rose petals, local coconut oil, dried banana and chips, and tote bags with our wedding logo with gold foil labels. Our cake was essentially a naked victoria sponge cake, with an island touch in that the base was coconut. We can hardly get over how perfect our whole experience was. We had the best 2 weeks of adventures like river rafting and diving with manta rays with 90 of our favourite people in Bali, and just when we thought it couldn’t get any better the skies cleared, the sun came out and we had the most beautiful day of our lives. I’ve always heard and expected that little things will go wrong on your wedding day, but with our planner Alice from Call Me Madame it was literally flawless. Throughout the planning process she helped create the wedding of our dreams from the other side of the world without a single moment of stress or worry, and we’re so grateful for her. Most photographers in the region have a different style that doesn’t compliment the whole romantic provencal air we were trying to create, so we were over the moon when Alice suggested Saya from Studio Oh Lala in Paris, who also spends part of her year in Thailand and was exactly what we were looking for. Selecting the right photographer to capture your wedding is so important. We also found an incredible videographer in Kurt from the Barefoot Bride and between the two of them we had the best company and the most magically captured memories.

• What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be? Have your wedding in Bali with Alice. I would also suggest to not stress on small details, and to have a friend remind you throughout the day to be present, because it really is the most beautiful day of your life and it’s so important to really be there. And if you need a summary of me and Joe;

Joe and I met 5 years ago through mutual friends in Los Angeles and immediately connected over mutual interests. I was living between London and Bahrain, and had been back visiting a year after graduating from university in Los Angeles, and although we lived on literally opposite sides of the world it was never an issue. We connected effortlessly and spend the next 5 years traveling around the world together laughing, expereincing and becoming even stronger partners, and now I’m lucky to call him my husband

From the Bride… Bali is our idea of the perfect holiday – sunshine, surf breaks, relaxation, and an endless choice of amazing restaurants. So when it came time to plan our wedding, we had no doubt that an intimate destination wedding in Bali with all our close friends and family would be right for us. We engaged Karen as our wedding planner from CHER ANGE Weddings and Events. Karen’s expertise and local knowledge made the process of planning a wedding from Australia so enjoyable and stress-free. We chose Villa Bayuh Sabbha in Uluwatu as our wedding venue – Tom was won over by the surf breaks at the site inspection! The beautiful tropical gardens and panoramic views of the coastline created the perfect setting.

The whole day felt like a dream, I remember Tom whispering to me, “I can’t believe this is for us.” My mum walked me down the aisle to ‘Heartbeats’ by Jose Gonzalez. Tom said this was a moment he will never forget. Our favorite memory was entering the reception to ‘You Are the Best Thing’ by Ray LaMontagne as Mr. and Mrs. Keech. Our bridal party all had sparklers, which was such a fun way to kick off the night! After the speeches and cake cutting, Tom and I had our first dance to ‘Better Together’ by Jack Johnson. I loved dancing under the canopy of fairy lights, it was so romantic – Tom even gave me a twirl or two! Then we were joined by everyone and danced all night. Our wedding would not have been the same if we weren’t in the company of our friends and family. It was our guests that made our wedding so special, and we were so lucky that they made the journey over to Bali to share our special day with us.
