Bucking wedding norms, couples are moving away from traditional weddings and settling for tying the knot privately on an island of their dreams. Worried about finding such a venue? ‍Here’s the good news – there are a number of accessible private resort islands in the region catering f

The first dance of a wedding is the most peculiar of the wedding rites. Most of us are not practised dancers – most of us are not even good dancers! So the idea of standing in front of dozens of gawking guests while you awkwardly shuffle back and forth, hands on hips, fills many newlyweds with dread. However, conversely, because the wedding day is so frenetic and non-stop, many couples find that the first dance is the only time in the entire day when they get to be with their

If you are going for the Wow Factor at an outdoor venue and want to purchase the kind of fireworks only seen at New Year’s Eve in Asian capital cities, you’ll want to heighten this excessive incendiary display with the perfect song. Of course, the song chosen will be competing with the deafening bangs of the biggest rockets, but still, choosing an ace song can cement the fantastic impact of an explosive firework display. Here are 15 songs to soundtrack your wedding firework d

Sweeping, dramatic music can be easily added to a post-produced video to make your wedding feel like Steven Spielberg directed it. But what about on the day itself, right there, in the moment? If skillfully chosen and expertly played, a certain “big kiss song” can really elevate the moment when you lock lips at the altar, and turn to your adoring crowd, while walking gleefully down through confetti and a shower of rose petals. Here are 9 recommendations for Best Wedding Reces

Public speaking is famously the number 1 phobia in the world and it is also the number 1 reason that many, many wedding speeches are bad. People are so nervous and anxious that they can barely read off their scribbled sheet. The microphone keeps feeding back, the best man mumbles for 5 minutes and everyone is awash with relief when he eventually raises his glass, signalling a toast to the bride and groom and the end of everyone’s audio suffering. If you are tasked to make a s

“If you don’t have it in photos, it didn’t happen!” Capturing the all important moment when a couple is christened Mr. and Mrs. status and preserving the cherished day sits right up there in importance of the actual wedding itself. The first official kiss, the tears shed, the love shared in the instance — are all moments to be remembered for a long time. But we wouldn’t bank on the human memory to immortalise these all-important occasions, every couple needs photographs to ho

Of course, the best wedding speeches will be the ones that are tailored to the audience and bridal ensemble that are actually in the room enjoying the performance, but here is a selection which have caught the eye and the views of the YouTube congregation. 1. The Canadian Brother Aaron is the prime example of a purely funny human being. His deadpan style and comedic timing are at a peak in the first four minutes. 2.

For the traditional lovebirds, wedding invitations makes a significant part of the trajectory –– meeting up with long-lost friends over a cup of coffee, catching up to speed with each others’lives, before finally sliding a crisp envelope across the table (an affirmation of the friendship!). That being said, to some coup

Everyone dreams of that perfect romantic moment when the bride walks down the aisle amidst the cocked heads of dozens of fawning relatives, while some of the clever ones spy a glance backwards at the waiting groom as he fights back a manly tear. This is the moment. It should be perfect. After all the clueless flower girls are done, having scattered just 5% of the petals that they should have dispersed (it is hard to practice that one, admittedly) and the unpredictable ring be

1. The Chris Brown Forever Dance This video is about ten years old now, but it was arguably the first to be widely shared on social media, and is responsible for every ‘funny music bridal walk in’ we see today. 2. Chippendales This is the same ‘Forever’ intro music but with added Chippendales. The bride apparently is their manager and the lofted air spin she gets from one of her jacked up strippers is borderline suicide. 3. Wedding Dress Odyssey One of those long produced vid

There are many things that can go wrong on a wedding day but for the most part, these fires are not entirely impossible to put out. The dress doesn’t fit? Find a new one. The bride has an emotional breakdown? Feed her a few glasses of champagne. If there is one thing entirely out of human control, it is the whims of Mother Nature. Never mind that the bride, groom, both sides of the family and friends traversed halfway across the globe to the awe-inspiring destination of a dre
