Real Wedding: Vicki and Phong, Bali, Indonesia

Vicki Grafton and Phong Nguyen are both avid travelers living in Fairfax, Virginia, who knew they wanted something extremely special for their big day. The couple had previously visited several countries in Asia, including Vietnam and Thailand, but had never been to the magical island of Bali, Indonesia. They decided to have their wedding there because of the locale’s beauty and spiritual meaning, but also to expose their family and close friends to a new culture.

I have the biggest crush ever on this wedding, probably because I am itching to visit Bali. Everything looks so perfect and I love the details that were incorporated to make it unique to the destination. The two flower girls were dressed in traditional Balinese attire and the music for the ceremony was provided by a rindik trio (two bamboo-xylophone players and one flutist). I love the minimal site decorations in order to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings, and the bamboo platform draped in white chiffon curtains used for the ceremony was a simple yet elegant touch. Another fun aspect was the couple asked their 15 guests to wear all white – a great idea for any brides considering a beach wedding. It adds an island-y laid-back feel to the wedding and also creates a chic, dramatic look for photos.
