I am so ready for a romantic, tropical island escape after seeing this dreamy destination elopement editorial! Inspired by the secluded spot on the shores of Phuket that forms the backdrop, it focuses in on the gorgeous beach setting with an organic, modern-vintage style that I adore. The wild, natural elements are balanced with an air of elegant, sophistication from the delicate florals, ethereal bridal gown and intimate table for two set right next to the water. I am sure you will be completely enchanted by every single detail…..

A few words from photographer Amelia Soegijono before I let her images sweep you away to balmier climes.… “The thought behind this photoshoot is the dream of having a secret wedding, in an exotic beach location, surrounded by the green forests, and a 280m stretch of a sandy beach on the tropical island of Phuket where the waters glisten, the sun kisses the shore and the air is fresh. Phuket seems to be the perfect location for a secret elopement like this. 

We are blessed to have the incredibly intricate hand-beaded Jasmine gown by the very talented Australian couturier Gwendolynne draping our beautiful bride. We also have a trendy and exclusively designed wedding ring by Verda & Floren from Bangkok, Thailand presented in a beautiful ring box by Amonie, a modern version of the vintage French ring box.  The Bridal Planner set up a private dinner with a hand dyed table clothed that’s graced with a bridal centrepiece created by IAMFLOWER Phuket. Our bride gracefully cradles her white and foliage bouquet tied with delicate Songbird Silk ribbons. The grey marble cake with touches of gold was created by Joob Joob. A heartwarming wedding vow was designed by My Creative Space who is based in Australia. Our bride looks radiant and stunning in Neil of Elite Hair and Makeup‘s gifted hands.”

What a breathtaking location – so perfect for an elopement!
