Santo Mikael Church in Bali

by caleb Posted on

Home to some of the most exquisite looking beaches and daring surf points in Bali’s South coast; Seminyak is a vibrant city that draws travellers to its high end stores, nightclubs and chic resorts, such as the Alila Seminayak Bali, for example. Seminyak is a great alternative to the noise and crowds of neighboring Kuta; so if you want to experience the beauty and party atmosphere of Kuta, minus the masses, this is the place to be.

Seminyak’s ambiance is much more chilled out: with clear beaches and golden sunsets, it provides a great setting for anyone looking for a secluded and romantic vacation. And those are just a few reasons Seminyak Wedding Venues have risen in popularity among couples searching for the perfect topical wedding location.

One of those highly sought after locations is St Mikael Christian Protestant Church. Located just a short drive away from the resort enclave, surrounded by lush foliage and the heady fragrance of tropical flowers, St Mikael Christian Protestant Church is an iconic landmark continues to serve the local community. Constructed over 30 years ago, its famous for its Gothic designed architecture, something that is quite rare in the region.

The imposing structure is made charming by the white and blue shades that colour its exterior walls. Inside, beautiful but simple white walls and vaulted ceilings complement the dark tones of the wooden pews that lead you up the 15 meter aisle to the alter. The pièce de résistance here are the enchanting stained glass windows that rise up behind the alter, casting a kaleidoscopic of colours across the marble floors and ceiling. 5 in total, each one depicts scenes from the bible, and according to historians, the stained glass was originally made in England over a century ago, before they found a home at Santo Mikael Church.

Bali has several beautiful locations for a dream wedding, but the Santo Mikael Church, with its tropical garden, classical architecture and humble interior make it a perfect setting for a memorable wedding.

Beach Weddings in Koh Samui

by auburn Posted on

Koh Samui is one of the few top destinations for beach weddings. With a large number of professional wedding organisers present, you can plan your wedding at leisure and conveniently. This idyllic island is suitable as a wedding destination for many reasons. It is a magnificent island surrounded by other equally magnificent islands, for one. The beauty of the setting will enthral you and your visitors no end. Furthermore, the professional organisers will be on the location and take care of the function for you. If you have your wedding at night, it is going to be an even better experience. Dining under the sky gives you a quite romantic experience. Dim the lights and dance to your own rhythm.

First, pick a suitable venue for your wedding in Koh Samui. Weddings are easy to arrange when you are familiar with the venue, so if possible, take some time to get an idea of the site before your special day. And then comes food, music and a host other things to do. When you order food, keep seafood in mind. You can go for the freshest seafood accompanied by tropical fruits when you have an island wedding. You also need to decide on what type of a wedding you will have. Is it going to be a western wedding or a traditional Thai wedding? If you are considering having a traditional Thai wedding and need more information on the matter, try approaching the helpdesk of any resort such as Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort for a nudge in the right direction.

The other crucial factor is the season. Which season have you chosen to have the wedding? Koh Samui is a tropical destination, but you have to expect sudden rains too. Around March is usually the sunniest period in Koh Samui. Following this homework, you can brief your planner on your requirements. They will then attend to the details, so that you don’t have much to worry about. A proper beach wedding is a unique as well as memorable. It will be etched in the memory of not only the couple, but all the guests as well.
