This Couple Planned Their Two-Day Island Wedding by Themselves!

Today, we’re featuring a couple who planned their two-day island wedding celebration all by themselves. Yes, you read that right! Dij and Mon run a travel company and now that it’s their turn to plan their biggest adventure, they made sure that they went all out. They held their celebration in Dos Palmas, an island resort in Puerto Princesa, Palawan; and they opened it with a fun-filled sports fest and a cozy welcome boodle. The next day, they got married in a small island chapel in the morning and held another scenic ceremony at a tiny sand bar near the resort – a truly swoon-worthy moment! But our favourite thing about this wedding is the couple’s attention to details. As advocates of sustainability and loving local, they gave away sustainable welcome kits to their guests, gifted locally-sourced products to their entourage and sponsors; and used the resort’s in-house floras instead of sourcing imported ones. What makes it even better is the fact that their talented family and friends are the ones who pulled off their wedding needs – from cake to host and DJ to Bride Mon’s personalized veil made by her mom. This definitely made their special day more sentimental and close to the heart. Scroll down Atlas Studios’ brilliant shots to see the festivities yourself!
