Tell us, how did you meet? Was it love at first sight?
We met in Melbourne when I was there finishing up my Master’s degree. Don is originally from Melbourne and I like to think it was love at first sight for him.

What about the engagement story? Can you give us a snapshot?
We got engaged whilst on holiday in Hong Kong after a fantastic day out by one of the beach bars. It was an intimate proposal with just the two of us and took me completely by surprise. Don had arranged to have our hotel suite filled with red roses and candles. I of course immediately said yes! Following that we had to cancel all our dinner plans as I couldn’t stop crying out of happiness.

So, you decided to become Mr & Mrs… Why Bali?
Bali has always been one of our favourite holiday destinations as we both love the beach. There is nothing better than a Balinese sunset and we decided it would make the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Also, Bali is kind of in the middle of Australia and Singapore, making it an equal commute for both sides of our family.

How did you choose your Bali wedding planner? What was her/his Super Power?
Amore had planned a few of our friend’s weddings and came highly recommended. I could basically tell her exactly what we wanted and she would get back to us all with all the options on how to make it happen. She was very detail oriented, down to giving me 10 different sample shades of grey cloth so I could decide on one to use for my table cloth. She made all my design dreams come true!

Did you have a theme for the wedding? And was it a late-night Pinterest obsession?
There was no specific theme but we wanted the décor to look timeless – colours were kept to a minimal with purely white flowers and greenery. We used lots of candles and fairy lights to add some sparkle.

I really wanted the vibe to be romantic and intimate so we had billowing tablecloths, long rows of floral arrangements across the tables and the white Bentwood chairs from BEH sealed the deal and gave the entire set up a nostalgic yet contemporary feel.

And yes, there was definitely a slight Pinterest obsession!

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.
