Autumn Romance

Moonrise Kingdom: Chloe & Jinn

Janelle & Alex

THEME AND DETAILS – Autumn Hues

Being born and bred in Ipoh, it was fitting that this couple chose to tie the knot in their hometown. Set against the looming limestone caves of Perak, their wedding was dreamy yet moody, and filled with fall colours such as burgundy, burnt orange, mustard yellow and olive green. From the steamy hot springs that cast a mystical feel to the proceedings to the dramatic atmosphere of the caves, from the winter wildflowers in the bridal bouquet to the blush pink bridesmaid dresses – it all came together simply beautifully.

VENUE – The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat, Ipoh

What a beautiful setting! So majestic with the mountains in the backdrop, yet a touch dreamy with the steaming hot springs, the ambience of this space is a force to be reckoned with. You’ll hardly find a more romantic setting than this.

CEREMONY

The trend du jour is to say “I do” beneath an unconventional “arch”. Gone are the usual arches and arbours; for this wedding, the newlyweds held hands and exchanged vows in front of their loved ones against the backdrop of a super chic hexagon, covered in lush, dark green ferns and leaves, and paired with autumn hued flowers. The walk “down the aisle” was a walk across a bridge that only served to make the setting all the more magnificent, as it was flanked by trees and other wooden elements. Truly, it was a sight to behold.

The magic of a wedding is that a simple moment can create a memory that lasts forever.

RECEPTION

How many of us can say we got to have our wedding in a limestone cave? To celebrate their union, the newlyweds enjoyed a wedding luncheon with 80 of their family and friends. The buffet style meal featured beautiful speeches and a simple yet elegant two-tiered wedding cake that was decorated with gorgeous baby’s breath. The light inside the cave cast a beautiful and romantic glow on everything, and we loved the bride’s reception dress – a high necked, tiered, floral maxi dress that was casual yet bridal. What a gorgeous choice!
