Kristie & Willy's Magical Bali Wedding on The Bridal Bar Blog Today!

We are so ecstatic over here today that Kristie and Willy's exotic wedding was featured on The Bridal Bar Blog. They are such an amazing, fun loving, relaxed couple. They went with the flow and enjoyed their day to the absolute fullest even with a few drops of rain. I personally think the rain added to the magical quality of their day on such a spiritually alive island.  Read more about Krisite & Willy's Balinese wedding on the The Bridal Bar Blog and check out more pictures here.  

Kristie & Willy - Bali May 2010

I posted a sneak peak a few weeks ago of Kristie and Willy's May 11, 2010 wedding in Bali, but here are more amazing images to make you dream of far away places. My Simple Details assisted Kristie in almost all aspects of her wedding planning and secured a day of coordinator through Bali Weddings International to be there to make sure everything went smoothly.  Even though it rained during the ceremony, it was still a magical day. My favorite weddings are the ones that are very intimate with only close friends and family.  The Photo Factory did an amazing job capturing this intimate event, the stunning couple, and the spirit of Bali.  

The Simple Details:

For Kristie's wedding we worked with a simple white and green color palette with orchids playing a starring role. Kristie wore a stunning, yet simple and affordable, Nicole miller dress.  For the ceremony a four post bamboo alter with white curtains and orchid floral tie-backs invited the guests down towards the ocean. Guest were seated on wooden benches with white cushions and wooden bowls were placed out full of white orchid blooms to throw at Krisite and Willy as the walked down the aisle as newlyweds.  The table centerpieces were a mix of cube vases filled with bamboo shoots and white lilies, and rounded bottle vases with white orchids. Carved wooden place cards were secured to sarongs for the girls and beach mats for the guys and tied with raffia for a natural look.  The guests indulged in a tradition Balinese buffet with suckling pig followed by a Gamelan Orchestra performance lit by glass hurricanes vases lining the pool area.  The cake though small made a big impact with an off center second tier with orchids and branches spilling down one side. 

Kristie & Willy - Bali May 2010 - Sneak Peek

I'm still waiting for all the amazing images from Windi at The Photo Factory, but here is a sneak peek of Kristie and Willy's Wedding in Bali at Villa Semarapura on May 11, 2010.  The relaxed spirit of the whole wedding day just oozes from the images. 

In the details: The wooden place cards were made by  Oslo Press and tied to either white sarongs for the female guests or straw beach mats for the guys.   

Worldwide Wednesdays - Bali - My Love!

I have Bali on my mind and it's getting hard to shake.  With one of our bride getting married there next week, and my anniversary coming up in June, I have a craving to take off and head for that magical island.  Everyone I've ever met that's been to Bali has fallen head over heals for the little gem of an island and I must admit I am in love with it too. 

As I've worked with destination brides I've always stumbled upon villas in many places of the world that were designed and built in the balinese style as their owners were smitten with the island, it's people, and it's relaxed style.  The Ohana villa in Tobago is one of these villas. With 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, and room for up to 100 inside for a reception, it's not surprising that it hosts about 10 weddings a year and was voted amongst the top twenty villas in the Caribbean by Conde Nast Traveler.   

I think I'm planning my next vacation there!
