when jon and aiwee came to spellbound, they were already certain they wanted a wedding where they and their guests would both have fun! stripped free of all the typical wedding "to-do"s, they wanted the entire evening to be a huge party to feast, dance and make merry. and so they did.
after falling in love with the view and the rustic charm of the old chalet, the couple set there hearts to share this gem with their 120 guests. working with their tastes and guests, spellbound stepped in and transformed the entire house into a charming spot overlooking the ocean with cosy nooks for their friends to kick back and relax.
styled to match aiwee's party dress, the purple pomanders were inspired by the petal details on the bride's dress.
a touch of feathers to set the party alive. guests dined on a local feast consisting of teh-tarik, a flairing cocktail bar, on-the-spot naan and a generous array of fresh seafood on the grill. guests were also treated to a roving magic show from jack who charmed many from young to old. there was not a quiet moment in the entire evening.
a single pomander adds a dash of colour to the dining nook in the chalet. the walls were also covered with cuban images the groom collected.
aside from the dance floor and pumping DJ music, a game room was set aside for guests to play dominos and cards. ottomans and canopy beds were also generously scattered around the lawn and house for guests to lounge in and watch the revelry.
a touch of ribbons were added last minute because we loved how the wind twirled it around like a dance. its the little touches that really made a difference. as the evening fell, the dance party stretched on under candlelight. how romantic..
