Weddings are a celebration of two individuals coming together as one, and for these newlyweds, it was also a merging of tradition and the contemporary. The décor was romantic and modern, while the bridal party attire was traditional and classic. The ‘akad nikah’ ceremony was traditional, while the reception was where all the modern flavours came out to play. Complete with sparklers, wedding games, fairy lights, and over the top floral décor, this was a wedding to remember indeed. Thanks to Iluminen for capturing all the wonderful details.

Venny: “Both of us agreed to have an intimate wedding just surrounded by our closest family and friends. We wanted a casual wedding with a rustic theme in an outdoor space. Turns out the rustic theme suits a traditional wedding too. We loved it!”

Tips from the bride: “Do your research! All you have to know from day one when you start your prep is the concept. Interview and research all your vendors so you will have no doubts before signing them on. The most important thing is to listen to your heart! Remember, this is your wedding day – it’s for you and not for other people.”
