{Let's Attend} Real Weddings by Nupts and Such

Today, we are starting the week by featuring another real wedding by wedding planners, Nupts and Such. Not many of us are lucky enough to tie the knot in Bali. But this couple certainly were! This little wedding took place at the Kayumanis Nusa Dua, Bali.

Vendor: Nupts and Such
Couple: Eileen and Richard

Location: Kayumanis Nusa Dua, Bali

Photographer: Wondrous Vision

A fuss-free setting for Eileen and Richard's beach wedding.

We love the clear blue skies.

The couple, Eileen and Richard wanted a fuss-free wedding - no flowers, no frilly wedding dress and smart tuxedos, no stylish hair dos and make up. Yes, a destination wedding which is fuss-free. Impossible? Possible! Simplicity very much reflects the personalities of both persons. And Bali was the chosen destination as it was where they met and fell in love.

Romantic....taking their vows on the beach.

It's details like these that make a destination personal for the couple and yet wonderful and joyous for everyone.

Eye Candy Engagement Portraits

We still remember the days when nobody actually took engagement photos. But nowadays, we see couples taking a different approach in celebrating their happy union. Although it is true that engagement portraits are not part of our Asian tradition, personally, we think they are quite charming as somehow, the pictures give a perspective into the couple’s personality as they are being captured in a more laidback manner.

Even if you don’t plan to have a destination wedding (we do understand that it can be costly to fly the entire family and friends over!), we would love to suggest that you treat yourself to an engagement portrait taken at a faraway destination such as Bali. We love images such as these for engagement portraits.

Engagement portraits is all about being casually dressed up in your Sunday best! Nothing fussy but relaxing wear.
