Kenna and Jeff’s wedding was the epitome of whimsical charm, set against a backdrop of vivid florals that mirrored the bloom of their romance! Their intimate celebration was woven with a well-curated variety of flowers and whispers of eucalyptus leaves that created an aromatic display of color and scent.

Kenna’s wedding gown was a stunning centerpiece of the day, showcasing the essence of their floral-themed celebration. It was such a delightful spectacle of blooming embroidery done so tastefully that nothing went overboard. The gown featured an array of flower patches intricately sewn across the fabric, crafted with such detail that it brought the garden around her to life.

The groomsmen, dressed in light brown, and the bridesmaids in mismatched pastels, complemented the motif oh-so-well and added a soft, earthy balance.

And so the research began. Kako and Patricia were instantly mesmerized by Bali’s beauty. It was their coordinator who introduced them to what has turned out to be their dream wedding venue, Tanah Gajah, a luxury resort in Ubud, Bali. “We instantly fell in love with the place, even though we hadn’t seen it in person yet! It turned out to be the perfect venue for our dream wedding,” said Patricia.

Their wedding unfolded into such a memorable and gorgeous celebration with loved ones. Kako and Patricia wanted to make their special day unique and so they incorporated local flowers from Bali into their decorations, bouquets, and boutonnieres. “We also made sure to introduce our guests to different kinds of Indonesian food which was the only type of cuisine we served during both our welcome dinner and wedding day,” Patricia shared.
