The Preparation
They connected online in Osaka at the beginning of the pandemic. Jessica, hailing from Indonesia, initially worried about the language barrier. Yu, being a native Japanese speaker, might not have been fluent in English. However, as time progressed, their bond deepened not because of shared interests but due to their differences.
Rather than allowing their dissimilarities to create distance, they embraced them as opportunities to learn from each other. Jessica was drawn to Yu's caring and attentive nature, as he consistently made time for her despite living far away from one another. He often expressed how comfortable he felt around her and admired her ability to manage things efficiently.
They cherished leisurely strolls in the park and quiet moments together. Opting for walks over public transport, they seized the chance to deepen their bond through peaceful conversation.
In 2022, he finally proposed.
"It wasn't your typical proposal," Jessica giggled as she reminisced. Yu simply popped the question and mentioned that he had already scheduled an appointment at the ring store. Together, they went, and Jessica chose a ring. It was a practical move, but it spoke volumes about Yu's sensibility.
The Tea Ceremony
A destination wedding in Bali seemed ideal for Jessica and Yu. Longing for a break from their urban lives, they envisioned exchanging vows outdoors, under the warm sun and gentle sea breeze. It was also a chance to introduce Yu's loved ones to Indonesia's tropical charm.
Upon hearing glowing recommendations from friends, Jessica discovered Tirtha—a venue renowned for its inclusive packages, detailed planning services, and stunning setting.
After careful deliberation, they concluded that Tirtha was the perfect setting for their intimate dream wedding, with a guest list of up to 60 people.
The Ceremony at Tirtha Uluwatu | Chapel Wedding
Jessica opted for a simple yet elegant wedding theme, prioritizing pastel colors with hues reminiscent of Bali's mesmerizing sunsets.
"I had the vision in my mind, but the Tirtha team brought it to life," she remarked.
"I saw the sketch beforehand, but seeing it in person exceeded my expectations.
It was stunning."
Jessica remembered the ceremony as her favorite moment. Despite not expecting to be emotional, the shared sentiment with her beloved and closest loved ones made it unforgettable—the intimate wedding she had always dreamed of.
Yu reminisced about his nervousness walking into the chapel, but it all dissipated when they shared their first kiss as husband and wife. A moment to remember forever.
Couple's Photo Tour
The venue was bathed in warm, dreamlike light for their photo tour, embodying the essence of Bali's golden hour. Renowned for its soft, flattering hues, this was the perfect time to capture the joy and intimacy emblematic of weddings—a sentiment Jessica fondly echoed.
"For myself, that was really the most beautiful moment of the wedding day," the bride shared. In that moment, the rest of the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them, lost in each other's loving embrace.
The Reception at Tirtha Uluwatu
The decor was a delicate blend of peach, blush, lilac, various shades of green, and navy blue.
The blue tones were particularly prominent in the table settings, adorned with blue water goblets and indigo table runners, complemented by subtle napkins and elegant gold cutlery.
The flower lineup included old rose, Ecuador rose, lisianthus, hydrangea, and delphinium.
Grand Entrance
For the couple, the standout element was the lighting arrangement—a canopy of fairy lights that shimmered against the backdrop of the Bali night sky. This, paired with the impeccable Japanese-French cuisine, left a lasting impression.
Cake Cutting
Jessica’s advice to other brides is to take your time with planning, as everything will fall into place with time.
