Some places in the world are just made for picture perfect postcards, and Santorini, Greece, is one of them. Situated by the Mediterranean Sea, Santorini’s gorgeous whitewashed buildings are set against the most breathtaking backdrop, where the azure sea meets cloudless blue skies. Now imagine an excited wedding party ready to celebrate the marriage of these newlyweds, and you’ve got yourself a destination wedding they won’t soon forget. Many thanks to Ben Yew Photography for capturing this tastefully simple and traditionally romantic wedding!
There’s no doubt that Mount Bromo is breathtaking, but we love what these newlyweds chose to do for their bridal portraits. Dressed in a simple black lace dress with pops of mustard yellow and burnt orange, the couple’s outfits certainly set the mood for some extraordinary photos. We especially love the framing of that photo of the bride’s hair blowing in the wind! Thanks, Louis Gan Photography, for this unique and memorable set.
Glamour and drama don’t always have to mean big and over the top affairs. For these newlyweds, their destination wedding was an intimate one with just close friends and family, set in the richly beautiful city of Venice, Italy. Steeped in history, Venice was already so romantic and exquisite that the couple opted for just minimal décor, including some flowers, textures and colour, and guests even wore jewel tones to match the chic sepia tones of the city. Thank you for these jaw dropping shots, Axioo!
Taking a chance on the weather with an outdoor wedding in Victoria during spring might seem like a real gamble, but when you’re getting married to the love of your life, all those good vibes will surely make it an amazing day nonetheless, right? It certainly paid off for these newlyweds as they exchanged beautiful vows in the company of their loved ones. The tall trees and overcast sky gave the proceedings a dramatic and moody feel, which complemented the Christmas-inspired wedding theme. Many thanks to Rick Liston Photography for this gorgeous set of photos!
Stunning views and island vibes make the perfect destination wedding setting, and this wedding is proof. Glamorous enough to be memorable yet casual enough that everyone was able to kick back and relax, it was the perfect balance. Keeping with the minimalist look, the couple opted for a gilded square adorned with white flowers as their “wedding arch” – a wedding trend that has been quite popular of late. Many thanks to MunKeat Photography for this beautiful set of photos.
We’re just going, wow, this is one of the biggest wedding entourages we’ve ever seen! We love the camaraderie and festivity of the bridal pick-up games, and check out the amazing floral décor at the reception dinner. What an amazing wedding at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. Thank you for this superb album, Joshua Koh Photography!
We can’t stop fawning over the dreamy quality of this beautiful wedding at Pier One in Australia. If you’re one for all things natural and not going over the top, then you’ll love this intimate ceremony that was followed by an equally memorable reception at Mosman Art Gallery. Thanks for these superb shots, Daren Chong Photography!
New Zealand has been described as almost at the end of the world – under populated and filled with the best of Mother Nature’s raw, untouched beauty. From its jaw-dropping mountains and snowcaps to beautiful vast plains, Queenstown was the perfect backdrop for this couple’s bridal portraits. Many thanks to Atipattra for these photos!
Vinella: “Our bridal portraits photoshoot took place in Queenstown, New Zealand. We chose that city because we had heard of its raw natural beauty, and none of us had been there before. On the first day of our shoot, we decided to go to this hill early in the morning to catch the sunrise. So we hiked up when it was still dark, in the middle of winter, with me already in my dress! To say that it was hard is an understatement! It was freezing cold and I was afraid that my toes would get frostbite so I ended up wearing my Mathieu’s boots towards the end of the shoot. Even though the sun decided not to appear that morning, we had a blast because the view was so beautiful nonetheless.”
Often what makes a wedding extra memorable is going back the reason for it. In this case, the couple both agreed that their exchange of vows stood out, that single moment was pure. The groom was also deeply moved when his gorgeous bride serenaded him as she made her entrance. Thank you for these amazing captures, Cliff Choong Photography!
Take your pick from the many lesser-known places in Malaysia for your bridal portraits. Our country is replete with awesome locations for shoots, if only we looked a little more carefully. That’s how this couple found the location for their photoshoot – Bario, situated in the Kelabit Highlands in Miri, Sarawak, is a true gem. Kudos to white/白 for these memorable shots!
Describing the mountainous region as a land that is rich in mountain salt, and covered in paddy fields and pineapple plantations, the bride shared: “This is such a special place in Malaysia. We flew in via MAS Wings. It was such a chilled out place, without mobile network service.”
The couple even had the opportunity to dwell in the Village Chief’s home, and were told that they were the first people to do a bridal shoot in Bario. Talk about an experience to be treasured forever!
We love the rustic goodness of this gorgeous outdoor wedding at Tanarimba, Janda Baik. Kudos to this beautiful couple for their tasteful colour palette and savvy choice of décor that brought the venue to life. Thank you for capturing these amazing memories, NDrew Photography!
“Everything was memorable,” shared the bride. “From walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing my groom, right through to the reception dinner!” The outdoor space gave the bridal couple the refreshing ambience that they sought for their ceremony, while their reception in the oaken hall was a cosy treat indeed, with minimalist décor and a cherry blossom-esque tree in the hall. The overall effect was tasteful, subtle and classy.
As wedding favours, the jars of Manuka honey complete with dippers were absolutely charming gifts, and very apt given that the couple had met and fallen in love in New Zealand. What better way to share a part of those precious memories with their loved ones and guests?
Tips from the bride: “Pinterest and Instagram will be your best friends throughout the planning process, as you’ll spend hours searching for ideas and inspiration. Plan in advance. Getting a wedding planner is one way to reduce the stress! It is never too early to plan your wedding together with your husband-to-be.”

It’s easy to set a wedding against a minimalist or industrial backdrop. What we love about venues like Studio Numb9r in Kuala Lumpur is their versatility and timelessness, as evidenced by this gorgeous wedding. Thank you for these spot-on captures, Jimmy Tan of Studio Numb9r!
The bride’s love of flowers and greenery made deciding their wedding theme easy. They chose the venue for its brick walls and natural lighting, which complemented their rustic décor well. The bridesmaids wore a beautiful shade of emerald, which paired nicely with the groomsmen’s light grey suits.
