Jungle and wildlife wedding concept

Bali’s spot-on location in the tropics means that it’s easy to prepare a jungle theme for your wedding. Decorate the altar with rare orchids, the walkway with bright red hibiscus that contrasts with white jasmine or marigolds.

Beach Wedding concept for the ocean-loving couples

Beach Wedding

There are truly spectacular beaches throughout Bali that are both secluded and private, thus perfect for a beach wedding concept. Beaches in Bali come in two variants – white sand and black sand; the atmosphere, the sounds and sights, are quite similar in any Bali beach. You should make use of the beach’s natural features as much as possible to create a picturesque wedding scene.
