You can probably guess why planning a wedding is rarely described as a "walk in the park" - have you seen 'The Wedding Planner' or 'Bride Wars'?? Our featured wedding of Anil and Elena not only contradicts the belief that planning a wedding is rarely smooth-sailing, but theirs has taken it to a whole new level. Imagine planning a church wedding and a dinner reception in Malaysia...while living in another country! A ray of hope and inspiration for us all!
Anil and Elena live in Australia, and their wedding in Kuala Lumpur was celebrated in pure style and sophistication that was reflection of their personalities and tastes as a couple. It can be done, dear readers, even with a guestlist of 300. It takes sheer courage to plan a wedding from afar, but when you're in the capable hands of their talented wedding planner Michelle Chow, we like to think that nothing is impossible with vision, dedication, communication, and of course, knowing the right people :)

We were honoured with the responsibility of decorating their church wedding at St. John's Cathedral and the dinner reception at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to Michelle and KidChanStudio for the photos!
From the start, Anil and Elena had already decided on a gold-and-ivory theme for their Christmastime wedding. It is classic and elegant.. and simply perfect for our beautiful couple! They kept the church decor simple and classy with white roses, while Elena carried a graceful bouquet of roses in champagne and white. The gorgeous blush palette is pure loveliness against her designer gown from Australia. Her bridesmaids (not pictured) carried bouquets of white eustoma and looked very pretty in their custom-designed champagne gold and ivory dresses by Pretty In White. We were suitably impressed when we found out that the bridesmaids, who all live abroad, only had their first fitting five days before the big day!
The dinner reception was a sight to behold, stunning and romantic in white with accents of gold. Since it was Christmas, we used the magic and warmth of the season as our guide. For the floral arrangements we used even more roses, with orchids, phalaenopsis and baby's breath - all in white, of course - and embellished with white feathers, gold beads, gold balls, crystal beads and gold candles. Michelle tells us that the air was thick with romance, even for the guests as they entered the ballroom, and the decor - especially for the main table - was the evening's topic of discussion! We are so pleased to be a part of our couple's most memorable day.
Thank you, Anil and Elena for sharing your wedding with us!
