With its castle-like architecture and mountain views, <\/span>Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai<\/span><\/a> was an easy choice for Hailey and Koichi’s fairytale-inspired wedding. The couple chose an all-white floral design, a princess-style bridal gown, and an outdoor setting that looked like something from a movie. They spent nearly a year planning the celebration, including several months practicing their first dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Koichi was drawn to Hailey’s kindness and her support for his ambitions. “She is the calmness in my life and a loving person who has always taken care of everyone around her,” he shared. Originally from Myanmar, the couple had family and friends traveling from different parts of the world to join them for their wedding in Thailand.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Castle-Like Venue With Mountain Views and an All-White Floral Design<\/span><\/h2>\n
Hailey and Koichi had a specific look in mind for their wedding: white flowers, romantic decorations, and an outdoor setting with impressive scenery. They were particularly drawn to places that resembled the<\/span> castles and grand estates<\/span><\/a> seen in fairytale films.<\/span><\/p>\n
“We chose the venue because it literally looked like a castle,” the couple shared. “The decorations made the whole wedding feel like we were in a Disney movie.”<\/span><\/p>\n
Flowers and decor accounted for most of their <\/span>wedding budget<\/span><\/a>. They worked with their planners to identify areas where they could reduce expenses without sacrificing the elaborate floral arrangements they had prioritized.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Princess-Style Bridal Gown and Coordinated Pink Wedding Party Attire<\/span><\/h2>\n
Hailey wore a voluminous, <\/span>textured ball gown<\/span><\/a> with a fitted bodice and a long veil. She accessorized with blue gemstone jewelry, adding a touch of color to her otherwise white bridal look. Koichi chose a <\/span>white jacket with black trousers<\/span><\/a>, coordinating with her gown. Pink, one of Hailey’s favorite colors, was chosen for the bridesmaids’ dresses. The groomsmen wore navy suits with pink ties to match.<\/span><\/p>\n
Before the ceremony, the couple shared a <\/span>first look<\/span><\/a>. Koichi had been looking forward to seeing Hailey in her wedding dress, and the moment exceeded his expectations. He described seeing her in the gown as a surreal moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning a Thai Destination Wedding From Myanmar<\/span><\/h2>\n
Planning began almost a year before the wedding, with Hailey and Koichi interviewing several potential wedding planners. Since they were from Myanmar and getting married in Thailand, communication was an important consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n
Language barriers made some of their initial conversations with planners difficult. They eventually chose <\/span>The Wedding Bliss Thailand<\/span><\/a>, whose team understood their ideas and offered suggestions throughout the process.<\/span><\/p>\n
The planners also managed minor issues on the wedding day. Hailey and Koichi recalled that everything ran smoothly from their perspective, allowing them to spend the celebration with their family and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Months of Dance Practice for One of Their Favorite Wedding Moments<\/span><\/h2>\n
For the reception, <\/span>long banquet tables<\/span><\/a> curved around a circular dance floor, with white floral arrangements, candles, and warm overhead lighting.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The couple spent several months practicing their<\/span> first dance<\/span><\/a>. On the wedding day, Hailey’s full skirt spread across the dance floor as Koichi spun her through their routine.<\/span><\/p>\n
“The most memorable part would be our first dance,” they shared. “We had to practice a few months before the wedding and we are so happy that we managed to pull it off.”<\/span><\/p>\n
With friends and family flying in from around the world, the reception and afterparty were a rare chance to have everyone together in one place. Guests stepped into a recording booth to leave messages and well-wishes, and posed for keepsakes at a separate<\/span> photo booth<\/span><\/a>. For the newlyweds, replaying those recordings after the wedding has been a gift all its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their Advice for Preserving Wedding Memories<\/span><\/h2>\n
One <\/span>takeaway<\/span><\/a> Hailey and Koichi shared from their wedding is the importance of having backup plans for preserving special moments. After their wedding footage was lost, they came to appreciate how valuable it is to have safeguards in place for important recordings.<\/span><\/p>\n
It’s worth discussing how wedding photos and videos will be stored and backed up, along with any safeguards in place to protect them. Taking these precautions can offer peace of mind and help ensure that once-in-a-lifetime memories are preserved for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n
