It all began at a party in November 2021 where Diana and Syafiq crossed paths. Their journey to the aisle, just over two years in the making, is a testament to destiny’s playful hand and a mutual friend was the missing link to their shared future. They tied the knot in a spectacular wedding, blending modern elegance with cultural richness.
The choice of JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur as their wedding venue, a decision lovingly made by Diana’s mother, was nothing short of perfect. The venue’s spacious, pillarless ballroom exuded a sense of grandeur, while the intimate foyer and the dramatic escalator descent added a touch of cinematic romance. With 100 guests for the solemnization and 450 for the reception, it was a celebration of love witnessed by those who mattered most.
Diana and Syafiq chose a Chinoiserie theme, a nod to tradition woven into contemporary sophistication. This theme was reflected in every detail, from the serpentine tables adorned with elegant decor to the stunning dais and backdrop, creating a mesmerizing visual feast. Fresh hydrangeas and baby’s breath arrangements brought the vision to life.
The wedding was filled with heartfelt moments, including a poignant father-daughter dance and a song by the emcee, dedicated to Diana’s late grandmother. This emotional tribute moved guests to tears, exemplifying the depth of family bonds.
Diana and Syafiq’s advice to couples planning their wedding is heartwarming and practical: If you’re short on time or ideas, let those who love you unconditionally, take the reins – in their case, the task was entrusted to the bride’s mother. Every carefully planned out detail reflects the love this mother had for her child that truly made this wedding special.
More than a celebration; this wedding was a harmonious blend of tradition, modernity, and heartfelt emotions. The couple attributes the success of their big day to a team of exceptional vendors. Pak Abu, the wedding planner. Hard Arby, the emcee, added a personal touch with his heartfelt performance. RB Eventors, the wedding coordinators, ensured every detail was perfect. The memories were beautifully captured by Bean Pictures & Cinematography, photographer – Asmaradara and Redhu Malek, with Weddie coordinating the elegant wedding invites.
