Did you sit down for a formal dinner or party the night away with canapés and
cocktails
We did
a buffet style sit-down dinner with Indonesian favourites to keep things more casual. We also invited Hog Wild
(previously Naughty Nuri’s) to do a live BBQ station and cook up some of their delectable ribs.
What was the most challenging aspect about planning a destination wedding?
In hindsight,
planning was a breeze with Amore’s help. The most challenging aspect was actually handling all the older out-of-town
family and friends that were not familiar with Bali. We had to sort out everything for them from hotels to drivers
and even where to eat. This really took a toll on us especially when we had lots of last minute things to do before
the wedding.
Talk to us about your hair and make up. Who was your muse?
I wanted a fresh faced, no make-up look. Unfortunately, the message was lost in translation for my makeup artist. Let’s not talk about it!
Tell us about your D R E S S?
It took a while and many misses to find my dress, but I’m glad I
settled on it eventually. It was a v-neck, low back, fully beaded design by Galia Lahav that was incredibly
comfortable to wear and most importantly allowed me to dance!
What was THE most memorable part of your big day?
As cliché as it sounds, it was probably the
fireworks show that my husband and I had planned as a surprise for our guests. In Singapore and in Melbourne, you’re
not really allowed to have your own fireworks display so it was an extra special request we had. My husband and I
loved the little moment we shared in each other arms watching the fireworks.
Looking back on the wedding pictures we saw many of our couple friends in each other’s arms having a moment together too, which is exactly the outcome we were hoping for.
If there was one piece of advice you could give a Bali bride planning their big day, what would it
be?
Get the best makeup artist you can afford and photographer as well! Don’t skimp on those. And
also, use Amore! She was the best.
