Daryl’s proposal was a meticulously planned surprise during a trip to Bruges, Belgium. After a delightful picnic and a serene stroll along the canals, Daryl excused himself, pretending to need a restroom break. He returned with a mutual friend, flown in from Poland, who discreetly captured the moment as Daryl proposed on a bench facing the canal.
Choosing the right venue was crucial for Daryl and Ashley, who envisioned an intimate wedding in a restaurant renowned for its menu and interior design for their 80 guests. Min Jiang @ Dempsey perfectly matched their vision. Its beautiful setting provided an ideal backdrop for their celebration, creating an ambiance that was both elegant and cozy.
Their wedding was captured in a soft, dreamy cinematic photography style, exuding a warm and intimate atmosphere. The colour palette features earthy tones of beige, brown, and green, complemented by pops of orange from the floral arrangements. The decorations include pampas grass and wildflowers, creating a natural vibe that blends seamlessly with the restaurant’s elegant rustic interior.
The solemnization ceremony was the most poignant moment of the day for Daryl and Ashley. Officiated by Daryl’s uncle, the ceremony was deeply personal and meaningful. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows in the presence of their closest family and friends, making it an unforgettable experience.
Ashley was keen on the finer details, ensuring their wedding had several personal touches. Customized wedding favors included hangover pills, while bespoke stationery featured their invites, menu, vow and speech cards, signage, and seating chart. Guests were encouraged to fill out message cards, and a selfie mirror added a fun element to the celebration. Custom perfumes and a carefully curated wedding playlist enhanced the personalised experience.
To maintain a cohesive look, guests were asked to adhere to a color code of black and navy, ensuring stunning and harmonious photographs. The after-party had its own unique theme, complete with matching invites and menu. Daryl and Ashley’s advice to other couples planning their wedding is simple yet profound: “Do what makes you happy – it is your wedding. It’s about the two of you, and nothing else matters.” This sentiment underscores the importance of personalising the day to reflect the couple’s unique bond and preferences.
