Bali Wedding Venues:
A Sweet First Look in the Tropical Garden
The day began with an intimate first look session in the resort’s lush garden, surrounded by tropical greenery and yellow Balinese umbrellas. Ail Lee wore a stunning lace gown with a long veil, while Hugh waited with anticipation. Their expressions captured pure joy and excitement.
Modern Indoor Ceremony with Ocean Views
Set in a bright and airy chapel-like pavilion, the couple’s indoor Bali wedding ceremony combined natural light, elegant floral design, and ocean views. With a floral arch full of white roses and lush greenery, Hugh and Ail Lee exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their closest family and friends.
Honoring Tradition: The Chinese Tea Ceremony
After the western-style ceremony, Ail Lee and Hugh honored her heritage with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Dressed in elegant outfits and surrounded by loved ones, they served tea to their elders in a gesture of respect and gratitude. This cultural tradition added a deeply meaningful layer to the day and reflected their beautiful blend of families and traditions.
Sunset Portraits on Seminyak Beach
At golden hour, we headed to Seminyak Beach for post-ceremony portraits. The couple walked barefoot on the sand, hands in the air, full of joy and energy. The soft light and ocean breeze made this a perfect ending to their formal portraits.
A Joyful Night Reception: Speeches, Toasts & Dancing
As night fell, the celebration continued with a lively wedding reception under the stars. The space was beautifully decorated with fairy lights and tropical floral centerpieces. Family and friends shared heartfelt speeches, raising their glasses in joyful toasts.
Ail Lee tossed her bouquet with a big laugh as guests cheered, and the night ended on the dance floor with everyone enjoying the music, laughter, and love in the tropical Seminyak air.
