INSPIRATIONS

Serenity Heaven

“We were together for two years before he decided to propose on my birthday,” the bride gushes. “He gathered all my friends to organize a treasure hunt of puzzles– one of my favorite things– visiting spots from our early days of dating.” The whole hunt led to their apartment, which one of the bridesmaids, Bruno, had decorated to resemble Monica and Chandler’s proposal– another of Diana’s favorite things. Giant marry-me balloons, happy tears and lots of food were involved. “It was truly magical,” she recollects. After much thought about having a wedding in the city, the bride and groom decided to marry in Bali. She didn’t find anything in Australia that spoke to her and thought everything seemed ‘very basic and expensive for what it offered’. When finally looking into destination weddings, she found ‘exactly what she wanted with Tirtha: chic, detail-oriented, and edgy at the same time.’ “Being away from Ben the whole morning was very difficult because he is usually the only person who can calm me down, and I was so stressed. Then, I was standing in front of the chapel listening every time the gong hit; I closed my eyes and could feel these goosebumps drenching me from head to toe, like electricity. When I opened my eyes, I could see Ben’s face tearing up. We just stared at each other for what seemed forever as a moment suspended in time. They were the most magical and spiritual minutes of my life.” The decor for the dinner reception perfectly encapsulates the theme. As beige is a neutral colour, you could add many other colours into the mix– or nothing! In this case, the lush emerald greenery acts as a natural backdrop and supporting color, and the bridal table is in a similar blue-green tone. Crystal chandeliers hanging above elevates the room with pure elegance. The lovebirds look nothing but stylish in the muted palette. Diana and Ben are here to prove to you that the beige and white combination is anything but boring!
