From Sachi Kondo…When Steffi said yes to Ari, she didn’t picture a sentimental affair exclusively shared with her nearest and dearest. All she knew was that her heart longed for a tropical escape. Having trimmed their guest list from hundreds to a handful, the couple’s stunning cliff-front nuptials were simple and understated but close
to perfection.
Tirtha Bali planned an intimate celebration for couple Steffi and Ari that exceeded their expectations, from the welcome picnic party, livened up by fresh tapas, to the intimate ceremony adorned with pops of fuchsia, designed by the talented decoration team from Hanamizuki by Tirtha. As a fashion-savvy doctor, the wedding designers wanted to capture the beautiful contrasts of Steffi’s personality. Delicate yet bold, dreamy yet sophisticated, cute yet elegant. Steffi had one request for her wedding theme— pink. Away from the fairytale princess kind, she sought something more bold and exciting. The Hanamizuki team put together a color palette just the way the bride had in mind: a feminine play on blush pink and dusty rose; ecru for a touch of modernity; and fuchsia to make a stunning statement.
The ceremony was set on the lush lawn of Hedonism Villa, a venue that marries local beauty with an ethereal Mediterranean feel. Upon entering, sloping down towards the emerald green infinity pool, your eyes are met with an acrylic gate embellished with roses, anthurium, lisianthus and bougainvillea in the exact shades of the color palette.
For her special day, Steffi wore a delicately pleated ivory gown made by her sister Stella Lunardy, an up-and-coming couturier. The gown cascades so effortlessly and elegantly on her frame while her bridesmaid donned identical pleated dresses in fuschia, adding a more vibrant hue under Bali’s crystal clear sky.
The dinner arrangement perched on the deck by the cliff overlooking the ocean was wonderfully dreamlike. With crystal chandelier glittering over from heaven. Everything appeared surreal.
The couple thanked Tirtha for the seamless experience, from initial thoughts to the d-day everything was materialized even from hundreds of miles away. “I thought planning a destination wedding from Jakarta would be complicated or time-consuming. But Tirtha made long-distance planning a breeze.” Steffi said. “Every little detail was covered. I was amazed. I didn’t have to dedicate a lot of time or energy. The team took care of everything.”
Steffi and Ari lived their dream destination wedding in Bali. Oftentimes, she still plays back the scene in her head, exchanging vows at a dream venue like Hedonism Villa. “With the beautiful ocean as the backdrop, watching the sky turn from orange to a hundred shades of pink to a dark navy blue. This kind of amazing moment gives me goosebumps every time I think about it,” the bride reminisced.
