“Bali Weddings – Dreamy Ways To Say “I Do” “
Article by Raymond Horsfall
When it comes to destination weddings, there are few places in the world that can compare with the tropical wonderland that is Bali.
After all, you can’t open a Bridal magazine without seeing Bali listed as among the Top 10 destination wedding locations.
And rightly so. Not only is Bali’s scenery and surroundings picture postcard perfect in the eyes of most couples, it’s warm, sultry weather, friendly locals and exquisite accommodation breathe romance into even the most travel-weary tourists.
And if you think all that is as good as it gets, there’s more. The luxurious hotels and spa resorts, the sumptuous wedding feasts where you can choose from a wide assortment of tantalizing cuisines, and all the bridal trimmings are so much more than you could expect at so much less than you expected to pay. What a bonus!
So does it surprise you that the number of Bali destination weddings has soared over the past 5 years?
Let’s look at some of the delectable ways you can say “I Do” on the dreamy island of Bali.
Bali Destination Weddings
A fabulous place to start your Bali wedding plans is with the vast array of luxurious Bali accommodation packages. From the seriously extravagant to the sublimely elegant, all bridal tastes are catered for.
Many of the large, international Bali hotels and resorts offer a Bali destination wedding/honeymoon package which includes the wedding service, usually conducted in their splendid tropical gardens where the wedding celebrations can also take place. Or you may prefer one of the sumptuous banquet halls inside the hotels for the reception and/or the wedding ceremony.
Your guests are catered for as well with accommodation packages that include luxurious hotel accommodation and all the extras you would expect to find in such a tourist-friendly spot.
And the best part of planning a Bali destination wedding is that the local bridal experts will organize the entire event for you – from the bridal favours through to the colours and theme for the wedding reception and the brand of bubbly you would like your guests to toast you with.
Of course, YOU get to decide on all the special luxuries you want to include in your wedding ceremony and celebration, but that is as much as you need to do for your big day – other than luxuriate in a sweetly aromatic spa bath before you get ready or sip champagne with your bridal party!
The beauty of planning a Bali destination wedding is that you don’t have to plan anything if that’s not your style. The expert wedding planners will arrange every detail for both of you. But if you are the kind of person who likes to share in all the buzz of selecting everything yourself, then that’s okay too.
Bali Wedding Packages
Have you dreamed of saying ‘I Do’ on your wedding day high atop a cliff overlooking expansive views out across the Indian Ocean, or a casual, barefoot romp on a warm beach while the sun displays a magical array of colours across the waves as it sets over the horizon?
How about a private chapel set amid tropical palms with the gentle sounds of a natural waterfall in the background? Or does a secluded wedding ceremony held high in the mountains with the local Balinese villagers offering up treats to wish you long life and much happiness hold special appeal for you?
No matter what you’ve dreamed of for your wedding ceremony and celebrations, Bali has it all.
Bali wedding packages include everything from a simple wedding for just the two of you through to a full church service and sumptuous reception for you and your hundreds of invited guests. Most Bali hotels offer packages that also include accommodation for any number of guests, wedding photos, wedding videos and any or all of the extras you require to make your wedding day the most exciting and memorable day of your life.
And the very best part of a Bali wedding package? You and your new spouse can experience the magic and beauty of the tropical island paradise on your honeymoon in your ultra-luxurious and sublimely romantic Bali accommodation because you’re already there!

Another dreamy day in paradise-Karon Resort
Article by Hedin Johan
So where did it all start?As I write this I’m sitting on Karon Beach in Phuket Thailand, the pearl of the Andaman. I asked for paradise and I got it. The sun swept beaches on palm fringed paradise overlooking a crisp azure of blue sea. I’m now taking in the sights of gorgeous eye candy and looking forward to a heavenly sunset followed by an exciting nightlife on the town. Everything we desired and everything promised by the travel agents back home in Tottenham Court Road in London. Topdex travel sat us down in their cosy comfortable offices in the Tottenham Court Road in the heart of London. As we waited for our turn we gazed out onto the streets of London as the rain drizzled down outside and the grimacing faces of the passersby looked on in infinite misery. We, on the other hand were about to look at pics of resorts, hotels and beaches and more hotels. We’d had Bali in mind at first, but after hearing about terrorism and the hotel Bali-bombers we changed our minds quite rapidly-news was, they’d just been executed. Well that’s another story. As I glanced around the office my eye caught one of the hotel and holiday brochures. Sprawled across this brochure in brilliant purple was the slogan “Phuket, Pearl of the Andaman” It was like we’d been in these offices before and seen this brochure-a “déjà vu” if you like of something happened that is about to happen. Karon beach, its squeaky white crisp sand of beach which stretches for six kilometres. “Whether you crave night life, beach life, dining or just relaxing in resort hotels, Karon has them all” explains the strawberry blond Kylie behind the counter with a voice so familiar it was like I was in a dream. “One reason why Karon is so popular is” Stop!, I suddenly shout. “Have we been here before?” I ask. Kylie ignores me “It never feels crowded like other resorts” she continues. “Karon beach itself is renowned for its crisp white sands that squeak as you walk.” Now this is dejavu, maybe it’s because she has learned this from a script. Maybe it had been used in other travel agents or I had read it somewhere before. Kylie opens the brochure out for us and the centre page spread is a grand picture of an amazing palace like hotel called the Horizon Karon beach resort and spa, “here is your accommodation, the Horizon Karon Beach Resort and Spa, a resort set on 16000 sqm of land and surrounded by rain forests of lush vegetation.” She puckers her lips and continues “It’s slightly raised position offers wonderful views and also allows for guaranteed peace and tranquillity. Easy access to the area from Phuket town and the more vivacious Patong beach offers its visitors the chance to not only relax and enjoy Karon’s lush tranquil surroundings but also to join in with the more lively activities such as marine sports, exciting nightlife and shopping.” Kylie breathes in deeply as she finishes the rest of her sales pitch, her sweet smelling perfume wafts across towards me as she sends me a silent eye signal of something I hadn’t felt in long time. “You’ve sold us, Kylie” I exclaim. “The resort in Karon here we go!”. As the sun sets against the back drop of pinked tinged sky and the waxen crescent moon starts to show, I find myself humming the same tune “Just another dreamy day pass me by, the sun sets to the evening sky.” Thanks Kylie, I whisper.
