The Preparation
Harry found himself captivated by Sonia, whose lineage embraced the rich cultures of Japan and Belgium. Their love story, a tapestry woven with persistence, shared dreams, and the magic of unexpected encounters, serves as a testament to the beauty of cross-continental connections.
For Harry, it all began with a chance meeting at the consulting company.
Harry's upcoming Japan trip caught her attention.
Their journey started with small talk, blossomed through shared dinners and wines.
Three years later, after multiple lock-downs, Harry and Sonia managed to finally reunite with their families in Singapore and Harry took that opportunity to propose to Sonia in the Singapore Botanical Gardens.
The Ceremony at Glass House | Plumeria Wedding
From Sonia’s perspective, Harry’s entry into her life was unexpected. She found herself drawn into his charisma and the effortless flow of their conversations. Little did she know that those seemingly ordinary coffee meetings would eventually transform into a lifelong commitment.
At first they planned to have a wedding in Japan. But their search led them to the enchanting shores of Bali, specifically to Tirtha Bali, a venue that stole their hearts.
The allure of Tirtha Bali was undeniable - the breathtaking views, the awe-inspiring architecture, and the incorporation of Japanese culture elements.
Sonia´s connection to her Japanese heritage found resonance in the venue´s thoughtful design, making it a natural choice for their wedding celebration. The flexibility and customization options offered by Tirtha Bali allowed them to curate their dream wedding.
Their ceremony took place within the elegant confines of the Glass House, a testament to their love´s transparency and fragility.
In the heart of Bali, Harry and Sonia’s wedding unfolded like “Fairytale Finesse”.
Every detail, meticulously planned, spoke volumes about their love story and the blending of their diverse cultures.
The wedding was a harmonious fusion of white, blush, ecru, berry mauve, dusty rose, and touch of muted green, creating an ambiance that was both classic and elegant as Sonia’s vibes.
Sonia, the epitome of grace, held a bouquet adorned with garden roses and Ecuador roses in blush and berry mauve, also lisianthus, ranunculus, and old roses in blush and white.
Her hairpiece and Harry’s boutonniere complemented this, creating a harmonious floral theme that resonated throughout the venue.
The ceremony was magical, as guests made their way along the ceremony walkway, they were greeted by geometric pedestals graced with posy arrangements in their wedding’s color palette.
Pillar candles filled the gaps, casting a warm glow and adding to the dreamy ambiance. Hanging origami added a touch of whimsy, making the ceremony area feel like something out of a storybook.
Couple's Photo Tour
The Cocktail Reception at Tirtha Uluwatu
A unique touch was the welcome board, calligraphed on acrylic board and placed on a boat, symbolizing the couple’s journey together.
The registration table was adorned with flowers, framed photos, grove sets, old books, trucks, and antique pieces, creating a nostalgic atmosphere.
Wooden arrows showcased the origin of the guests, highlighting the international nature of their love and wedding.
As they arrived in Tirtha Uluwatu, they were greeted by a dramatic sunset, casting a golden hue upon the celebration. The atmosphere was filled with love, joy, and the presence of cherished family and friends.
The Reception at Tirtha Uluwatu
The reception area was a sight to behold, with the tables dressed in blush tulle and white tablecloth. Pillar, taper, and tea light candles adorned the tables, casting a warm and inviting glow.
Each table centerpiece was a work of art, completed with white and glass show plates, rose gold flatware, and dusty pink napkins.
It was like a dreamy fairytale with japanese style paper lanterns and origami hung from Heaven’s ceiling at dynamic heights, casting a mesmerizing glow.
The combination of traditional elements with modern elegance added a touch of intimacy and warmth to the celebration.
Grand Entrance
For Sonia and Harry, the highlight of their wedding was the moment they stood together, surrounded by the people they loved, in a place that felt like heaven on Earth. The day was a testament to their love, resilience, and the beautiful journey they had undertaken together.
Harry and Sonia's wedding was not just a celebration of their love, but also a fusion of cultures, traditions, and the unyielding spirit of their commitment to each other.
As they stood hand in hand, surrounded by the scenic beauty of Bali, they embodied the essence of a love story that transcends borders.
Cake Cutting & Fireworks
Their journey, which began with a simple conversation in an office in London, had culminated in a grand celebration in Bali. As they looked forward to their shared future, Sonia and Harry served as a reminder that love, in all its diverse forms, knows no boundaries.
