IN FOCUS OVERSEAS WEDDINGS Melbourne couple Lauren and Ian, as well as most of their guests, fl ew Jetstar to Phuket and scored a lot of bang for their buck by holding both their wedding and honeymoon in Thailand. “The ceremony, celebrant, fl owers, bouquets, gourmet seafood menu and seven hours of cocktails, beers and wine for 30 guests, hot air Khom Loy lanterns launched over the night ocean as a good luck symbol to the bride and groom, a photographer, hair and make up, pedicures, manicures, and two-hour spa treatments for the bride and groom cost under AU$9,000,” Robinson says. Take Us To Thailand charged AU$4,000 to coordinate every detail of the couple’s intimate tropical wedding, plus organised their honeymoon and booked accommodation individually for all 28 guests. The couple loved the fact that their wedding was low-key and intimate — exchanging vows barefoot on the beach as the tropical sun was setting. Plus, there was no stress involved, with virtually everything done for them. Robinson and Doherty sat down with the couple and communicated via email giving their professional opinion on everything from locations right down to the fi ner details of fl owers and photography. “It was great that everyone else was counting down the days until fl ying out, just like we were. Our friends and family have not stopped talking about our wedding and we hope some of them will do the same thing so we can do it all over again, as their guests!” Martin says. 64 JANUARY <strong>2010</strong> Bali With its gorgeous scenery and fascinating culture, Bali is a great choice for a destination wedding. Lisa Fitzgerald and Philip Carter decided to tie the knot at Pantai Lima’s “Sound of the Sea” villa in the secluded beachside village of Pererenan after the logistics of holding a wedding in Australia proved too diffi cult for their Irish families. They contracted Bali-based wedding planner Karen Quarello-Morgan at Cher FROM TOP: A wedding planner will help with the legal logistics of an overseas wedding; Twinpalms resort dinner reception for Lauren and Ian; Lisa and Philip add some gorgeous Bali touches to their big day Ange, who charges US$3,000 on average to coordinate a Bali wedding. “This was absolutely the best thing ever. We met up in Brisbane and Karen was able to show us all the options on her laptop. I have a background in event management and could have done it myself, but to have the knowledge of the island, the people and expertise of someone who lives there made our lives so much easier,” explains Fitzgerald.
