A Magical Forest Wedding At Pine Forest Camp Bandung

August 28, 2017

In this woodland realm, adorned with drapes of pearl, champagne and white, complemented by luxurious hues of earth and glass, the sounds of merry toasts and hearty cheers filled the air as Shelvin and Steven took their first dance as husband and wife.

We love the quaint elegance of luxury on a natural, rustic backdrop – the crystal goblets and candleholders, the splashes of bright red wildflowers, and the fairy lights that hovered like diamond dust. What a romantic, magical forest effect, and what an exquisite wedding celebration! Hats off to Iluminen for these remarkable photos.

There’s beauty to be found in the simplicity of a classic church wedding. This couple’s nuptials were a mix of cultures and traditions, incorporating a church wedding, a Chinese tea ceremony and a modern reception. We especially love the romantic garden shots from the reception, featuring fairy lights, geometric frames, lush greenery and that perfect sunset lighting. Many thanks to Iluminen Photography for this amazing set of wedding photos!

White On White Wedding With A Hint Of Pastel At Alila Seminyak Bali

August 14, 2017

Photo by Axioo. www.theweddingnotebook.com

For years now, Bali has been the destination of choice for couples seeking cosy and intimate destination weddings – and for good reason! Saying your vows before God and your loved ones, overlooking the sparkling ocean with the sound of waves upon the shore, is nothing short of a blessing to be treasured forever.

Such was the case with Careen and Daniel’s wedding, a grand celebration of love and life that was filled with thoughtful details in ivory, cream, gold, earthy tones, and blue. Kudos to Adi from Axioo for these splendid captures!

Hosting a beach wedding in Bali in January meant risking rain, however the couple was determined. They chose Alila Seminyak Bali for its ample overhead coverage that served as a rain contingency, which allowed them to have a fantastic, worry-free outdoor wedding.

A Breathtaking Wedding In Tuscany, Italy

July 26, 2017

Photo by Gianluca Adovacio. www.theweddingnotebook.com

The breathtaking landscape of Tuscany was more than what this couple had expected, and they were right to keep their décor minimal. With just family and close friends present, it was a cosy wedding ceremony indeed. The bride chose pale pink to complement to the rustic venue, and the warm tones of taupe, pale pink and lush green were equal parts romantic and glamorous. Many thanks to Gianluca Adovasio Photography for this wonderful set of photos!

An Ethereal Waterfall Ceremony At Kanching Falls, Rawang

July 24, 2017

Who would’ve thought that a local “destination wedding” could turn out so beautiful? From the fact that they chose to have their ceremony literally at a waterfall, to not wearing shoes so that they could be at one with nature, it was evident that Hannah and Joshua’s wedding celebrations were going to be one of a kind.

Seeing as their wedding venue was already so beautiful in its natural state, Hannah and Joshua kept things simple with earthy neutrals and greens as their colour palette, adding just wildflowers to the setting. Many thanks to Peter Herman Photography for sharing this interesting wedding with us.

Old World Charm At This Elegant Wedding In Hawaii

July 24, 2017

Sometimes there’s really nothing more that needs to be done if you’ve chosen the perfect venue for your wedding. For these newlyweds, it was the Haiku Mill – a once abandoned sugar mill that gently fell into ruin, resulting in the most beautiful décor only Mother Nature and Father Time can produce.

Lush vegetation and long vines covered the thick stonewalls, bringing a touch of old world romance to the entire wedding. Surrounded by the gilded vessels, soft natural colours and glamorous chandeliers, this couple and their loved ones certainly made it a wonderful night to remember. Many thanks to Enmuse Photography for this breathtaking set of photos!

A White On White Wedding At Dara Ayu Villas, Ubud

Small, intimate weddings are perfect for a couple to personalise – from the guests to the décor and the way they choose to celebrate their union. For these newlyweds, their wedding felt like a real party, from the moment they exchanged their vows overlooking the gorgeous paddy fields of Bali right through to dancing the night away with their friends.

The bride looked absolutely resplendent in her lengha and white bridal gown, and the all-white décor certainly set an elegant tone, especially against that backdrop. Many thanks to Gusmank Wedding Photography for capturing these beautiful, sunny photos.

A Sunny Lakeside Wedding In Lake Como

Oh, we couldn’t help but let out a dreamy sigh! Lake Como is the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding – from the gorgeous pops of yellow florals and the glittering lake in the background against the picturesque mountains to the ivy-covered classic Italian architecture. We love the bride’s romantic arrival by rowboat, and of course, the newlyweds’ unmistakable looks of love for each other. Many thanks to Rossini Studio for capturing this great occasion!

A Wes Anderson-Inspired Boho Chic Forest Wedding In Bandung

January 23, 2017

Photo by Fire, Wood and Earth Photography. www.theweddingnotebook.com

Set in the middle of a misty, dreamy forest and with a striking injection of colour, this wedding perfectly encapsulated the bride and groom’s personality. Thanks to their love for colour and pompoms, the Pine Hill in Bandung was transformed into a fun, bright festival in celebration of this joyous occasion.

Some things were kept simple, such as the bridesmaids’ dresses, which were in silver grey. But we were absolutely blown away by the bride’s reception gown, with its full orange skirt that perfectly complemented the many textures and colours of this soiree. An additional decorative note that we loved – the giant dream catcher set in the middle of their wedding arch. What a perfect design choice! Many thanks to Fire, Wood & Earth for this amazing set of photos, and to Bozza Event Organizer for bringing such a crazy concept to life.

A Grand Cathedral Ceremony In Jakarta Followed By A Rustic Outdoor Reception At The Edge, Bali

November 28, 2016

Photo by iluminen. www.theweddingnotebook.com

Even when you’re in your home country, you can have a destination wedding of sorts! This couple had their wedding ceremony in Jakarta Cathedral, then their dinner reception the next day at The Edge Villas Uluwatu, Bali.

Jakarta Cathedral, with its vaulted teakwood ceilings and sunlight streaming through long, narrow windows above the grand main altar, needed only minimal decorations. From the bride’s baby’s breath bouquet to the white-on-white floral pew hangers and textured white carpet, everything was kept simple. This allowed the grandeur of the venue to truly shine, lending an air of solemnity and awe to the proceedings.

Many thanks to Illuminen Photography for sharing these wonderful photos with us.

A Breathtaking Intimate Wedding in the Alps

Everything about this wedding was picture perfect: from the breathtaking backdrop of the Austrian Alps to the spontaneous fun this couple had with their close friends and family. Love was clearly in the air – between the bride and groom and the outpouring emotions from their friends and family. Keeping their wedding intimate and close to their heart, the bride had two wedding dresses – one of which was made by her best friend, and choosing to pair it with a leather jacket made it even more glamourous. It was truly a celebration of love, beautifully captured by Everly Pictures.

A Tropical Glamour Cosy Beach Wedding in Uluwatu, Bali

Wedding at The Istana, Uluwatu Bali. Photo by Terralogical. www.theweddingnotebook.com

Keeping things romantic and intimate yet glamorous, this bride and groom definitely infused their wedding with their personality, from the bride opting to wear a glitzy gold gown in lieu of a traditional white wedding dress to her bridesmaids wearing all-black gowns. Complementing the bride was the groom in his dark floral blazer, the groomsmen’s white shirts and leaf boutonnières, and the floral bouquets of tropical leafy greens and pineapples as aisle décor. We especially love the lush green wedding arch where the couple exchanged their vows in front of their close family and friends, overlooking the romantic beaches of Uluwatu. Many thanks to Terralogical Photography for this truly romantic set of wedding photos!
