When creativity meets romance, you get something truly magical—just like Ivy & Hayden’s breathtaking Bali destination wedding at the lush, jungle-wrapped Royal Pita Maha. From the moment planning began, it was clear this would be no ordinary celebration. With a “Greek Goddess” theme, a bride with a designer’s eye, and a couple full of humour and heart, their wedding became the perfect balance of elegance, personal style, and pure joy.

The Vision: A Greek Goddess Dream

Ivy, a talented graphic designer, brought her own artistic flair into every detail of the wedding planning process. With an inspired theme of white-on-white textures, gold accents, and flowing fabrics, her vision was clear: ethereal, romantic, and visually striking. Her creativity set the tone for what would become one of the most beautiful luxury Bali weddings we've seen.

The venue itself—Royal Pita Maha, nestled deep in Ubud’s tropical jungle—offered the perfect canvas. Ivy’s theme blended seamlessly with the setting, resulting in a romantic escape that transported guests to an exotic, mythical realm.

The Wedding Day: Styling, Emotion, and Sweet Surprises

From the very first look, guests were enchanted. The ceremony took place by the resort’s stunning waterfall—a location that brought audible gasps of awe. Surrounded by nature, candles, soft floral touches, and a beautifully designed arch, it was a dream come true.

The dinner tables shimmered under candlelight, with whimsical styling that reflected Ivy’s detailed vision. Every design element was chosen with care, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere that felt both elevated and intimate.

But it wasn’t just the setting that made this day unforgettable—it was the couple. Ivy’s custom-made dress was breathtaking, a true goddess moment, and their vows brought tears to many eyes. One of the most unexpected moments? Their first dance ended with Ivy picking up Hayden! A moment of quirky fun that had everyone laughing—it was perfectly them.

Love and Laughter: A Perfect Match

What makes Ivy & Hayden such a strong match is their shared energy. Both light-hearted and full of life, they balance deep affection with a great sense of humour. Hayden’s speech touched hearts, especially as he recalled how Ivy’s beauty first caught his eye—but it was her caring nature and infectious personality that made him fall in love.

The phrase “It was always you” was woven into their celebration—from a welcome board to a custom light-up sign and even Ivy’s vows—reminding everyone that their love was destined from the very start.

Handling the Unexpected: Rain and Ubud Traffic

As with many Bali wedding venues, especially in lush Ubud, a bit of rain and traffic is always a possibility. On this day, a short delay meant the ceremony started later than expected. But with the help of a great planning team and a flexible mindset, the schedule was adapted on the spot to ensure Ivy & Hayden still had the most magical experience. It’s all part of a truly stress-free wedding in Bali, thanks to experienced coordination and teamwork.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Dream Team

This wedding was made even more memorable thanks to some amazing vendors. A big shoutout to Marvelous Pictures—it was our first time working with them, and they absolutely nailed it, capturing every emotion and detail flawlessly. And of course, the cake by Tyas Cakes was not only stunning but delicious!

A Note From the Couple: A Personal Thank You

In a sweet handwritten letter, Ivy & Hayden shared this heartfelt message:

"Dearest Caitlin,
It’s only been a short few months we have known each other but it has been such a pleasure! Thank you so much for all the help with organizing and accommodating all my creative quirks and preferences. Your sweet, calm energy has been such a blessing for us throughout this process. We are so lucky to have had you!
— Ivy & Hayden"

Their words are a testament to the beautiful relationship built during the planning process—a bond that goes beyond logistics and styling, and into the heart of what a wedding truly means.

Planner Reflections

For anyone planning a Bali beach wedding or jungle celebration, here’s a quick tip: remind guests to arrive a little early! Ivy, being the thoughtful bride she is, waited until everyone arrived to begin. While it created a small delay, the love and understanding between everyone made it all worthwhile.

Ivy & Hayden—your energy, love, and creativity made this one of the best destination weddings in Bali. We’re so grateful to have been part of your story and hope to see you back on the island for more adventures together.
