Theme & Details: Wes Anderson Chic

As big fans of Wes Anderson, this couple incorporated his style into their entire wedding!From the colour palette and the minutely detailed decorations to the wedding video treatment, everything was Wes inspired, and even the tables were named after his movies.

Chloe: “This bohemian daydream was costyled and brought to life by myself andSpring Cottage. Jinn and I wanted something unconventional, and I was never a fan of girly floral arrangements, so everything from the bridal bouquet to the table décor was made of dried flowers and heaps of pampas grass. We incorporated a festival vibe into the ceremony with a teepee arch and a carpet aisle.”

CEREMONY

The bride walked down the aisle to ‘Que Será, Será’ played live by her talented best friends, before the couple exchanged their vows in front of a small group of guests. Against the teepee backdrop, which was filled with lush feathers and dried leaves and flowers, it was an emotional and misty-eyed ceremony as the father of the groom officiated! You can’t get more personal than that. The bridal party, groom, bride and witnesses were all moved to tears.

The ceremony was extra meaningful and personal, as Jinn's dad was the officiant and pronounced us husband and wife in front of our closest family and friends."

Venue: Tanarimba, Janda Baik, Pahang

Being in a tropical country meant it was a littlemore difficult to find an outdoor wedding venuewith pleasant (or slightly cooler) weather. Thiscouple wanted to get married in Malaysia asit is home for the both of them, and they werelucky to find the perfect spot in Tanarimba.The beautiful surroundings and woodenstructures allowed them to decorate to theirhearts’ desire, while also fulfilling their wish ofhaving an outdoor celebration.

RECEPTION

There was certainly no shortage of merriment at this exciting soirée! Once night fell, layers upon layers of fairy lights made the guests feel as though they were dancing under a sky full of stars. The couple were thoughtful hosts – wedding favours were personalised wooden coasters that doubled as seating cards, and there was even a little competition to see which of their guests could re-enact their engagement shoot.
