THEME AND DETAILS chic + rustic

The coolness of the greens and forestsurroundings were beautifully offset by thewarmth of the wooden textures and shadesof brown. Together with the twine, rattan,wooden and brick elements, the entire affairfelt more like a cosy gathering. Punctuatingthe cool and warm palette were gilded andgold ornaments that were subtle enough togive it all an air of elegance.

CEREMONY

Mandy: “I wanted my guests to feel like they were at a modern, fun wedding celebration, rather than a traditional and stiff ceremony, so we changed some things up.”

Despite the ceremony being an open-air affair, the hanging ornaments gave the illusion of a ceiling. But the main event (aside from the vow exchange, of course) was the unique doughnut wall in lieu of a floral arch. The wall of desserts perfectly complemented the sweet ceremony and created a more relaxed vibe for the newlyweds, their bridal party, and friends and family. We also loved the bride’s dress choice – short with a sheer maxi skirt overlay, which was chic, casual and sweet!

Tamarind Springs, Ampang

You’d never guess that Tamarind Springsis right on the edge of the bustling city ofKuala Lumpur. Only a 15-minute drive fromthe heart of town, this venue is like a slice ofnature squirrelled away. The lush surroundsare a visual feast of serenity and tranquillity.Offering not just a forest backdrop, this venuealso has spaces for intimate celebrations suchas this one.

RECEPTION

Long picnic tables were used for the casual celebration, and in lieu of lush tablescapes, the couple opted for a hanging garden overhead, and kept the tables simple with wooden coasters, twine and lace jars with flowers in them, and gilded candelabras on a blush table runner. This ensured that it wasn’t too cluttered, while making it easier for the guests to share food and partake in the merriment.

CELEBRATION, RATHER

THAN A TRADITIONAL

AND STIFF CEREMONY,

THINGS UP.
