Chloe and Wilson met at their first job — a classic case of opposites attracting. Where Wilson is calm and composed, Chloe brings energy, drama, and unapologetic charm into the mix. Wilson proposed in true fairy-tale fashion at Disneyland Orlando, during a trip to visit Chloe in New York.
For their wedding, Chloe and Wilson were clear about one thing: it had to feel intimate, luxurious, and connected to nature. Living in a part of the world blessed with some of the most breathtaking coastlines, they wanted a destination that allowed guests to truly unwind and celebrate.
Anantara Resort offered exactly that — a lush, secluded tropical seaside escape. The couple was drawn to its sense of privacy, the elegant yet unfussy design of its villas, and the way it seamlessly blends into its surroundings. It felt like a refined getaway that still captured the essence of warmth and barefoot ease. For guests flying in from the UK, US, Singapore, and Hong Kong, it was a treat — a beautiful, intentional destination that felt like a holiday and a celebration all at once.
The couple’s stylistic vision was rooted in restraint and refinement. The color palette of sage green, ivory, and cream played throughout the day — from bridesmaids’ dresses to floral installations and stationery. Their beachside ceremony setup was elegant in its simplicity: white blooms and greenery lining a natural sandy aisle with the ocean as the backdrop, with soft organza draping on each seat which echoed the breeze and movement of the waves. Evening celebrations took place in the resort’s herb garden under cascading fairy lights and candle glow. Decor elements included natural fruit like grapes and pears paired with pearls and black ribbons, a subtle nod to detail and contrast.
The most unforgettable moment? Watching their guests dive headfirst into the games during dinner — full of laughter, competition, and some outrageous antics, from stripping off pants to improvising props from hotel staff uniforms. Chloe and Wilson were moved not only by the hilarity but also the love and presence of lifelong friends and family who truly made the weekend unforgettable. Adding to the intimacy, Chloe wrote personal letters to each of her guests — a gesture that meant a lot to those who had travelled from afar to be there.
