The best time for your Bali wedding

Most of the weddings in Bali are taken outdoors, therefore, the weather is very important. In the months of April and October, the weather is just perfect for an outdoor wedding. Also, remember that hotel rates and airfares tend to rise in June and August and venues become difficult to book. The earlier you book your venue, the better!

Selecting your venue

Bali is full of places that are famous for weddings! Be it a beach resort like Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali or a chapel or even private villas. Bali has it all! The choice of venues may sometimes be mind-boggling. However, knowing exactly what you are looking for and sticking to that theme will help you select the perfect wedding venue.

Consulting a wedding planner

Planning out a wedding is no easy task! It is sure to take up most of your time and energy and resulting in an utter waste of money too. Meeting up with a professional wedding planner who has the necessary contacts and resources to get things done, this can save you a whole lot of trouble.

Fixing a budget

Financing the whole wedding is the biggest struggle for couples these days. There are tons of cost to consider, some of them being travel costs, venue, number of guests and so on. You can either pay for these services directly or invest in an all-inclusive wedding package.

Beach Wedding Essentials

by CatalinaC Forbes Posted on

Beach weddings are all fun and pretty smiles when you look back at it, but a lot of work goes into making it perfect, and we have a few must dos when it comes to a beach wedding.

Lighting

When one thinks of a beach wedding, the first idea that pops to mind is a dreamy Maldives island wedding at resorts the likes of Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas. The main rule to follow for the best wedding pictures is, lighting. Natural lighting is what you have to depend on at an outdoor wedding, therefore, time your wedding just right. Also, you can always have lights strung above the wedding if you don’t want to exchange your vows at noon.

Make it fun

People love dressing up for weddings, and that means shoes. But, nobody wants to walk around with sandy footwear, so make it fun for the guests by giving a shoes optional invite.

Photography

This is a win at beach weddings unless the winds decide to blow harder during the shoot. Regardless, the pictures almost always end up looking amazing because of the panoramic scenery around.

Table Deco

Be it a canopied event or just plain outdoor beach weddings, the table decorations can amp the whole beach vibe if you choose right.

Wedding Planning

Do some research on the internet and go through bridal, fashion, lifestyle and food magazines among others for inspiration on the wedding dress, bridesmaids dresses, venue and the kind of celebration to have. The next step is to pick the attendants, if having any, as early possible.

Wedding Venue

Evaluate wedding and honeymoon packages offered by hotels in Sentosa. Request quotations from some likely venues and compare prices and what is included in the wedding package, their offers on accommodation for guests if required and the honeymoon package. There’s a myriad of event venues in Singapore in hotels such as Park Hotel Alexandra.

Size of Celebration

Prepare a budget for the celebration as this will determine the scale of the celebration and number of guests. Set a date and time for the wedding. This is also the time to decide on the type of celebration, whether it is going to be a wedding breakfast, an afternoon event or an evening reception with dinner and dancing and whether the ambience will tend towards the casual or formal.

Special services

Special services include providing party favours for guests, printing and sending out wedding invitations, wedding gifts for the couple and discounted room rates for family and friends, a tea ceremony in the bridal suite and a food tasting for a party of ten prior to menu selection.

Sri Lanka wedding planners are very experienced

Other than for being a happy couple in love you may not have a clue about planning a beach wedding. This is the benefit of choosing Sri Lanka as your wedding destination. Many resorts offer the services of very experienced wedding planners who on meeting and getting to know the couple expertly understand and offer a ceremony package that is perfect for their tastes and expectations.

There are no ‘off seasons’

As a tropical destination, the country does not have any particular offseasons; the only anomaly is during the two monsoon seasons which are experienced at different points of the island.

The best honeymoon memories

Choosing the country for your wedding means you need not visit any other location for a dream honeymoon. The stunning scenery around the beaches and rustic fisher villages are quite romantic while cycle tours into the countryside and excursions to ancient coastal temples promise to add more than a touch of magic to your wedding.
