Have Your Wedding in Luxurious Style

by auburn Posted on

Say ‘I Do’ whilst the soft waves lap against a sandy cove and the blue skies shower you and your loved ones with soft rays of sunshine somewhere far far away. If you dream of tying the knot in an exotic location where tropical flowers, beautiful hues and the perfect blend of ethnic and western traditions, Phuket may just be the destination for you. Phuket wedding venues such as those found at resorts such as Anantara Layan Phuket Resort provide the ideal blend of exotic adventure and convenience.

As one of the most popular beach destinations in the world, Phuket has become a place of convenience in terms of communication, transport and easily accessible entertainment; this will be a blessing as your wedding guests can find plenty of amusement while you focus on your wedding preparations. The beachfront wedding venues can offer either a grand scale exotic extravaganza or even an intimate affair for you and your loved ones to cherish. With years of experience under their proverbial belts, wedding organizers have honed their skills and their set of resources to cater to any requirement. It is up to the couple to choose the ideal package from the myriad of wedding packages available in the area or ask your planner to concoct a package just for you.

Imagine you and your partner taking your vows, surrounded by the smiling and occasionally envious faces of your friends and family, in a backdrop of turquoise depths while your feet sink into the soft bed of sand and the sea murmurs its many secrets in your ears. Afterward, you can share an exotic feast of seafood, ethnic Thai dishes, subtly falvoured western style cuisine or even a display of Mediterranean delights with your loved ones and dance in each other’s arms watching a sublime sunset.

Enjoy a Romantic Holiday in Maldives

by auburn Posted on

Maldives is probably one of the first options that come to mind when you plan a romantic holiday or your honeymoon. The allure of white and silken beaches alongside miles and miles of calm and translucent waters is nothing short of romantic. There are many reasons to enjoy a romantic holiday in the Maldives. If you and your better half both enjoy the marine life of the Indian Ocean, you are in for a treat. From mammoth whale sharks to manta rays and tiny schools of multicoloured fish, the waters are brimming with life and vibrancy. The exquisite coral reefs and the aquatic life make it the ideal place for a snorkeling tour.

Island hopping is an equally great idea to experience the best of the Maldives with your loved one. With around 1192 atolls most of which are uninhabited, the Maldives archipelago is nothing short of surprising and exotic. Island hopping will allow you to experience the different trends of each atoll and its unique features. There are quite a few luxury hotels in Maldives to choose from such as the PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi Maldives and others, who will be able to accommodate you during your adventures on the islands.

The glowing beach of Maldives is another infamous destination. Vaadhoo Island’s beach is well known for the fact that the beach comes aglow in the darkness of night, in the most beautiful shades of electric blue. The reason for this, is the unusual glowing tide that washes over the coast during the nighttime. Starry skies above and blue sparkles beneath; magical much?

Male, the capital city of Maldives is also another beautiful place to explore while on a romantic vacation. With an abundance of museums that display the nation’s rich heritage, mosques and art galleries, the capital city is packed full of fun things to do.

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.

Why you should have your dream wedding in Krabi

by auburn Posted on

If you are planning to tie the metaphorical knot and declare yourself to each other for as long as you both shall live, why not do it under the blue skies, to the music of crashing waves? Having your wedding in Krabi could be one of the best decisions you have made for your special day, whether you are looking for a large ceremony with all the friends and relatives around you or an intimate ceremony where it is just the two of you and your ample love.

There are three options for you to choose from: you could decide to have a beautiful beach wedding, with the palms being a canopy for your guests. You walk down the sandy aisle that is adorned with tropical flowers into the arms of your significant other, and the officiator; or you do it the Thai way and have the bride escorted down the aisle by the groom and the retinue to the beats of traditional Thai drums. Have the monks chant as you are brought together in a beautiful knot of companionship and take art in the blessings of the water ceremony; the third way is to have an unsuspecting group of tropical fish as your witness, as you two take your vows in the depths of the ocean amidst the colourful corals. The colourful fish will make up for the lack of traditional flowers, and you can have your guests waiting with bated breath to hear how you took the plunge into the biggest adventure of your life – both the adventures!

The main thing when planning your dream wedding in Krabi is to do your research. There are boutique hotels offering their services at quite affordable prices while reputed luxury chains such as Anantara Si Kao Resort have their packages adorned with brand-specific offers. What you must decide what you two want for your dream ceremony – after all, the beauty of Krabi itself can turn the simplest of functions into an exotic celebration of love.

A romantic dinner in Maldives with your loved one

by auburn Posted on

A vacation with your loved one is romance enough when all you have is each other in a foreign land; this becomes even more romantic when that foreign land is Maldives, easily among the top favourite honeymoon spots. However, if you are to share a meal under the starry skies in the picturesque foreign land of Maldives, the romance-o-meter would simply rocket off-scale!

Whatever your personal preferences may be, you will not be out of options for a romantic dinner date on Maldivian islands. Candles, soft music, and solitude are the common ingredients of romantic dining. Maldives, though, ups the game by adding clear starry skies, the low rush of waters that kiss the beach and most importantly, multiple locations for you to enjoy your meal. You could have a candlelight dinner for two on a deck at one of the beachside resorts. You could have a comfortable meal in each other’s arms in the privacy of your own villa if you stay with one of the private villas. You could star gaze from the little restaurants of your resort, and request that you are provided seclusion. You could have your resort arrange a table for you on the beach itself, and if it is a full-moon day, break bread with the partner of your heart under the silvery light of the moon. Or you could make things far less formal, and have a picnic dinner on the beach itself, a complete meal from your resort, enjoyed under the palm trees while lying on the silver sands, deciphering constellations in the star speckled sky. If you stay at a luxury resort such as Naladhu Maldives, you could sail into the Indian Ocean and enjoy a meal truly away from all that holds you to land.

The most important thing about lifelong relationships is keeping the romance alive. If you are already on vacation, if you have decided to make romantic Maldives your destination, you could easily take it up a notch and opt for a romantic dinner – or one every night for the entire duration of your stay! There is plenty of options to choose from.

Santo Mikael Church in Bali

by auburn Posted on

Home to some of the finest beaches and surf points in Bali, Seminyak is a vibrant place, filled with dozens of amazing restaurants, high-end designer boutiques, nightclubs and luxurious resorts, like the Alila Seminyak Bali, a world class hotel. Seminyak is as stunning as Kuta to the south, minus the large crowds. The ambiance in Seminyak is much more sophisticated and relaxed, which provides a more secluded and intimate setting for romancing couples. All this coupled with amazing sunsets and beautiful settings, it’s no surprise the city has become an ideal destination for an unforgettable tropical weddings.

Located just a short drive away from the big resort area, surrounded by lush tropical trees and fragrant island flowers, is St Mikael Christian Protestant Church, popular among couples looking for a memorable setting to exchange vows. The Santo Mikael Church has served the local community for over thirty years and is famed for its rare gothic styled architecture, which is complimented by the stark white and blue colour scheme, making for a charming sight.

Inside the church, the interior is modest but beautiful, with white walls, high vaulted ceilings, and long dark wooden pews; however, once you walk up the 15meter long aisle to the altar, a mesmerizing sight awaits you. Five stained glass windows behind the altar casts a myriad of colours, as light passes through it, shining numerous patterns across onto the marble floors and ceiling, creating an enchanted backdrop. The historical piece of art, which depicts several biblical figures, was reportedly made in England over a hundred years ago, before making its way to the Santo Mikael Church.

Bali has several churches that stand out for their contemporary, avant-garde designs and stunning locations, but what makes the Santo Mikael Church so captivating, is its classic design and exquisite interior, that draws many couples to its humble steps.

Lovers rock Hong Kong

by auburn Posted on

A symbol of tradition in the bustling city

Hong Kong offers many an anecdote to the traveller – be it shopping, food or interesting traditions. An interesting landmark that you might come across is Lovers’ Rock. Located in the heart of the city, visitors on the Bowen’s Road fitness trail – which lies across many a popular Wan Chai hotel – would come across this monument on their daily run; a phallic rock that is revered by the locals.

Within easy reach from Dorsett Wanchai, Hong Kong hides this testimony to modern day belief in ancient customs. Locally known as Yan Yuek Sen, this is frequented by women and young brides with relationship and fertility problems. Draped with prayer papers and worshipped by the young, the women pray for eligible husbands and male heirs at the Lovers’ rock. The busiest time for this is during Maiden’s Festival in mid-August. Women gather here in numbers, some to pray for a boon, some to offer gratitude for providing them with a boon and others to appreciate and acknowledge the strength of the roots of superstition that are present in the modern day Hong Kong.

Standing at a height of 9m, the area of Lovers Rock affords a beautiful view of the Victoria harbour. Among the people flocking here with offerings of oranges, suckling pig and chicken, some others are found with a camera, striving capture a perfect shot. Around the base of the structure are soothsayers, who consult their “Book of Fortune” to determine if the partner chosen by/for a young maiden is a suitable match or not. Of course, this comes at a price, for the soothsayers charge for every transaction that takes place.

One might not expect to find such a structure and such a following for an age-old custom or a superstitious tradition in the modern Hong Kong. And yet, all these doubts are put to rest by one visit to Lovers Rock, for it is still venerated throughout generations and is likely to be in generations to come.
