It’s modern meets elegant in this Seseh Beach Villas wedding. Celia’s glamorous bridal look is giving us major heart eyes with her self-designed wedding jumpsuit  and gorgeous hair styling by Sami Knight<\/a>. With flowers in her hair and an overgrown and lush bouquet by Wed in Bali Flowers<\/a>, Celia walked down the aisle to meet her groom. After saying exchanging their Monili Jewelers<\/a> rings, they kept on celebrating outside with plenty of dancing, food, and sparklers! Terralogical Photography<\/a> and Aile Studio<\/a> both beautifully captured the day.<\/p>\n

I am so lucky to have 2 world class make up artist and<\/span> celebrity hair stylist as close friends so they were my glam squad that made me look beautiful on the day. I have never looked as beautiful as i did that day!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A friend had told me very early on when I had a mild panic about the pressures of certain traditions of weddings I didn’t really want to uphold – and<\/span> she told me “Its your wedding, you can do whatever you want. If you don’t want to do it a certain way, don’t”. And<\/span> this was singlehandedly the best advise i got! <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hand designed my own wedding jumpsuit. I always knew i never wanted to wear a traditional wedding dress.It just wasn’t me. I have so many jumpsuits and<\/span> i am known for sporting a jumpsuit so it seemed fitting! I am a fashion stylist \/ fashion editor and<\/span> I was inspired by a few designs i had seen on the catwalk and<\/span> i took some ideas to my tailor and<\/span> he did a fantastic job! It was exactly as i had wanted. I had always also fantasized about a princess diana train and<\/span> had bought the train online as a joke – but when my best friend Tash came over to have a look at the dress once it was ready – i jokingly put the train on but instantly fell my heart skip a beat! I had to wear it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had our close friend Joseph marry us as the officiant. He has a way with words and<\/span> knows how to capture peoples attention and<\/span> also he knew us well so this made it very personal. As soon as i got engaged i actually knew he would marry us – i was so nervous to ask him as i know it is a big ask but thankfully he said yes and<\/span> actually was one of the best parts of the wedding – so funny and<\/span> heartfelt. He also did the MC speech at the reception. We also selected and<\/span> wrote our own vows and<\/span> we wrote the liturgy to be personal to us. We really didn’t want a cookie cutter wedding- we wanted everything to be personal to us.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We actually had a rogue and<\/span> mischievous monkey that obviously wanted to be part of the celebrations- he had appeared earlier in the week at the villa by the pool and<\/span> certainly made his presence noticed with lots of monkeying around. We had joked that he wanted to walk me down the aisle and<\/span> low and <\/span>behold- after my make up and<\/span> hair was done and <\/span>just before i got changed her appeared on the Marquee. I see it now as a sign of good luck as he didn’t cause any issue at all on the day. It was very amusing! Aside for this – the most memorable thing from the day was the magnetic connection between Mikey and<\/span> myself felt suddenly stronger. With all the eyes and<\/span> attention on us for the major part of the day – I really remember that we were together for a lot of it – like a team. The best team ever! The rest of the amazing day seems like such a blur of happiness.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our vibes was “tropical elegance” We wanted it to reflect the surroundings and<\/span> have the barefoot luxury style we loved about our experience in Bali. Natural palm leaves and<\/span> wild orchids with gold details and<\/span> golden pineapples. We wanted something that was down to earth but also impressive and<\/span> creative.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We chose Bali because we had spent an amazing Christmas there together back in 2014 and<\/span> had a great time enjoying the culture, activities, nature and<\/span> food and<\/span> we wanted our friends and<\/span> family to enjoy what we had loved also. Once we had Bali as our destination wedding – the aesthetics came naturally as we wanted it to reflect the surroundings and<\/span> beauty of Bali that we loved. So local flowers and<\/span> neutral colours. Food we had a fusion of western and<\/span>Indonesian food as well as amazing entertainment home grown from Bali.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Remember what the wedding is all about and <\/span>that is you and<\/span> your lover. Nothing else matters, no one will remember the flower arrangements or what kind of knives were served. They will remember how you made them feel witnessing your love – so keep that in mind when things get stressful.<\/em><\/p>\n
