What a remarkable story of love and marital union! Read on to find out how this gorgeous couple met, and note the beautiful wedding put together by wedding planner, Never Ending Ideas, and decorator, Dayco. Thank you for these superb captures, Arch and Vow Studio!
The bride, who is Australian, and the groom, a Malaysian, had met in Kuala Lumpur during their internship at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees office. Both were reading law at the Australian National University in Canberra but had never met on campus during their four years there. Love blossomed amid the skyscrapers of the Malaysian capital.
Their wedding was styled and held in the tropical city of Kuala Lumpur. Using a colour palette of green, white, black and gold, their wedding planner paired tropical palm and monstera leaves with vibrant white anthuriums, orchids, roses and Australian wildflowers. Rings were embedded into the designs to symbolise eternal love, and generous lengths of ribbons in gold, black and green embellished the various accessories.
The décor carried through from the church ceremony in the morning to the dinner reception, which featured floral arrangements hung overhead and set high on floral stands. It was all rather reminiscent of a jungle canopy. Together, all the elements captured the lushness of a tropical rainforest, framed by the reflective gold of an ultra-modern metropolis. Meanwhile, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reception venue, the Berjaya Times Square Hotel ballroom, offered guests a stunning view of the city nightline.
