Weddings in Bali are one of today's destination wedding trends. Tropical climate, turquoise beaches, villas with romantic terraces, bright flowers - pink bougainvillea, red hibiscus flowers and tender lotuses - are unique and natural decorations to conjure up a wedding fairy tale.

If you want to celebrate your wedding in Latvia, but give it the exotic and gorgeous atmosphere of Bali, you can do it with the chosen wedding ceremony and wedding venue, decorations, music, guest dress code and other elements.

Beach sand

The feeling of exotic lands can be created not only in the steamy days of summer, but also in winter, if you choose indoor beach center rooms with sand cover for your holiday. All you have to do is find gorgeous decorations in the theme of Balinese flowers and natural colors and complement the atmosphere with appropriate music sounds. Room rental for private events is offered, for example, by the beach center Ruukki in Mārupe and Beach Box on the territory of the VEF sports club in Riga. By the way, this can also serve as an idea for a hen or bachelor party.

Before the wedding celebration on the beach sand, you can adjust to the summer atmosphere by organizing a hen or bachelor party in the Sports complex 333 , where you can not only feel the adrenaline during a ride on enduro motorcycles, quad bikes or go-karts, but also enjoy the beach and relax in the sauna in the tub while waiting for the wedding day, as well as play games volleyball.

Gorgeous decorations

Balinese feeling in decorations can be obtained by mixing natural materials such as wood, bamboo, stone, wicker and rattan furniture with palm trees, bright and abundant flowers, flower strings and greenery, complementing the exotic charm of Bali with golden figures. As an addition to your wedding floral decorations, you can write in your invitations the desire to receive a certain color and style of flowers.

A garden party lit up with lights, strings of lamps and candles of different sizes for the evening atmosphere will also suit a wedding celebration in the Balinese style. In Bali, the sun sets at 6:30 p.m., so the evening celebrations cannot be complete without all kinds of lights.

Guest dress code

The Balinese style at the wedding can be brightened up with the dress code of the guests' outfits. They can be dresses in pastel shades or bright and cheerful colors, dresses with floral appliqués and tropical motifs for ladies made of breathable, natural materials. Coral color, turquoise - shades that are very suitable for an exotic wedding mood and Balinese style, which are characteristic of the beautiful Indonesian island.

The image will be complemented by flower ornaments in the hair, bright earrings and comfortable sandals with straps and laces. Jewelry with feathers and crystals will suit the Balinese style. The brand ZONDA.BI makes beautiful and elegant crystal jewelry, which will be especially suitable for the wedding day, in its home workshop, including jewelry made of colorful pearls, which will beautify the wedding guests, highlighting the Balinese mood.

The dress code for men will also brighten up the tropical wedding atmosphere - just like the ladies, the gentlemen can also play with shirts, accessories, hats and breathable shoes in pleasant shades and prints. The most daring can definitely come in a summer suit in the color of the guest dress code specified in the wedding invitation.

Garden party at a wedding

Another option, if you don't really make friends with sand, - a garden party. Here, you can also conjure up the feeling of the tropical island of Bali by complementing the fully blooming garden with decorations. In the last years of summer in Latvia, we are spoiled, however, in case of choosing a garden party, it is recommended to take care of plan B - so that you can party indoors in the chosen place, if the weather is not kind on the wedding day.

Music and host of the evening

The feeling of being at a party on a tropical island can be given with your choice of evening music, conjured up by a band and DJ of your choice. Since Bali is a very popular destination for foreigners, there is no shortage of parties on this island, but also the spiritual and peaceful atmosphere is an integral part of Bali, so meditative notes will also suit the background.

Likewise, the evening leader can help complement the tropical mood of the evening with prepared activities. Wedding evenings are led easily and with fun by the wedding leader Jānis Dambergs . Jānis has also learned improvisation, was a dancer and speaks English fluently, which will facilitate questions about the course of the evening if guests from abroad are expected at your wedding.

Lots of fruit, colorful cocktails and a vegan meal

Bali is a land rich in fruit and colorful, delicious cocktails will be perfect for a garden or beach party. Fruits can be useful not only as a healthy treat and raw material for wedding table treats, but also for rich decorations. Of course, although fruits that do not grow in our latitudes are imported to Latvia, they cannot replace the widespread rambutan or snake fruit that grows in Bali, but you can create a mood.

Since a rich variety of fruits and vegetables grows on the island, Bali has typical vegan dishes - this can be the defining tone of the wedding table, as well as a special treat, for example, vegan snacks and a vegan wedding cake.

Show in the mood of Bali

If there is a desire for some more colorful entertainment, you can supplement the wedding entertainment program with a Balinese-style dance show - they are an important part of Balinese culture and are rich in gorgeous costumes, emotional choreography and bright colors.

And definitely remember to capture your wedding in photos and video! A Balinese style wedding will be a wonderful experience for you and your wedding guests, and wedding anniversary photos and videos will surely be the centerpiece of your memories.

Professional wedding photos offer to create Gatis Saukans , which will capture the most important nuances of the wedding day and the most beautiful views in the photos, while the photographer Andree Jack will also take care of beautiful shots from a bird's eye view - not only in person, but also with a drone.
