Intimate Wedding Planning Essentials by Bali Dream Day

Color:

Bali Dream Day entered the wedding industry around 2.5 years ago, inspired by the personal experiences of its director, Alex. Sparked by his own wedding planning experience, which was not much of a smooth sail, Alex decided to start a company that helps engaged couples weave the weddings of their dreams.

Thanks to the rising popularity of intimate weddings, Bali Dream Day has had countless requests from couples to help them plan their own. According to Alex, hiring a wedding organizer is one of the best stress relievers during the wedding planning process. "Organizers act as your one point of contact. Rather than having to deal with many vendors and peoples-in-charge, there will be only one line of communication, making the experience a lot less stressful," says Alex. Nevertheless, many brides have refrained from hiring a wedding organizer for their intimate wedding, thinking they'll be able to manage it on their own. Alex says that it may not always be the case. "While it may be simple enough to find vendors and book them, the actual following up and detailed organizing will be very time consuming. Brides deciding to do it themselves will build up more stress and end up not enjoying the wedding itself. We surely don't recommend it," he says.

According to Alex, there are a few reasons why intimate weddings have become so popular lately. "Intimate weddings in Bali offer good value for money compared to other places around the world. Think about it, where else can you have a cliff-top villa wedding overlooking the ocean with such an affordable price?" he says. Alex adds that modern couples are starting to move away from large traditional weddings to more heartfelt intimate ones. Aside from the cost factor, intimate weddings are a lot more special for its close-knit and personal feelings that linger after the wedding ends. It doesn't make a planner's job any easier, though. "Wouldn't say it's easier, yet it's truly more personal and enjoyable," says Alex.

As a bespoke wedding organizer, Alex thinks that no two weddings should ever be the same or even alike. There is, however, a common theme that is often requested for intimate weddings in Bali. "Rustic décor is very popular, as are floating stages for the ceremony. It's fortunate that the island has a wide selection of venues to accommodate the couples' requests," says Alex. Even so, Alex persists that everything about the wedding should cater to what the couple wants, rather than what is trending. In other words, creative control is still in the couple's hands and Bali Dream Day will strive to create a customized, personalized wedding that perfectly fits their desires.

Named The Most Popular Wedding Planning Service in Bali and one of the Top 10 Best New Wedding Planners in the World in the 2015 Wedding Industry Awards, Alex offers a few useful advices for brides planning an intimate wedding. The most important thing is getting as much information across as possible to your wedding planner. That typically includes your venue type, theme, color palette, and surely, budget. "As there are many vendor options available, it's all about picking the one that suits the couple's preference best in every aspect," says Alex. Especially for couples planning an intimate wedding in less than six months, Alex advises to get the venue, décor, and catering done ASAP as these elements are highly time-sensitive and take the biggest portions of your budget. "Once these are in place, everything else will easily follow," he says. Always make sure to have a good look around and don't be afraid to negotiate with vendors.
