A Medal, a Dog & Endless Joy: Ella & Luke’s Bali Destination Wedding

A Dog, A Medal & A Whole Lot of Love: Ella & Luke’s Unforgettable Bali Destination Wedding

When two people who are best friends, soulmates, and partners in crime decide to tie the knot, magic happens. And when that love story unfolds in one of the world’s most exotic wedding destinations—Bali—it becomes a day to remember forever.



From Winter Wine Chats to Wedding Bliss

Ella, from the US, and Luke, from Australia, are the kind of couple everyone wants to be around—funny, kind, and madly in love. Their relationship spans over a decade, filled with shared laughter, deep affection, and memories that stretch from Australia to the Mediterranean. In fact, Luke proposed to Ella while sailing on a boat through the Italian coast—yes, swoon!

Their Bali destination wedding was just as dreamy, full of personal touches and heartfelt moments. Planning the wedding with them was a breeze. Our calls—often with them wrapped in cozy blankets with glasses of red wine during chilly Australian evenings—were filled with laughter, open brainstorming, and even honeymoon planning!

 

A Wedding Full of Heart and Humor

Ella and Luke’s wedding wasn’t just beautiful, it was full of joy, emotion, and a touch of quirky charm that reflected their personalities perfectly. One unforgettable detail? The life-size cardboard cutout of their dog, Oscar. Since Oscar couldn’t attend the wedding in person, he was there in spirit—and in cardboard. Guests adored it, passing the cutout around during the festivities, and it even made its way back home to Australia.

But perhaps the sweetest moment of the night was Luke’s surprise during his speech. With all eyes on him, he presented Ella with a shiny medal inscribed with “Luckiest Girl in the World.” It was playful, cheeky, and deeply romantic—all rolled into one. Ella wore it all night long.

A Celebration Surrounded by Love (and Lush Landscapes)

Held at one of the most breathtaking Bali wedding venues, the celebration was nothing short of a fairy tale. The energy of their friends and family was infectious, with everyone taking in the scenery, snapping photos, and reveling in the celebration of love. As Luke said when he arrived at the reception, “You guys knocked it out of the park!”

Planning a luxury Bali wedding like this means having a team that understands every detail. With KBD’s fresh floral styling, Fikri’s flawless makeup, and Maxtu’s cinematic photo and video team, the day flowed effortlessly. Special thanks to our operations crew for ensuring seamless guest transitions from the river ceremony to the reception!

A Stress-Free Wedding in Bali, the Way It Should Be

What made this wedding so special wasn’t just the exotic setting, the lush styling, or even the cardboard dog (although Oscar was definitely a highlight). It was the relaxed, joy-filled vibe from start to finish. This was the epitome of a stress-free wedding in Bali, where everything came together to celebrate two people who truly belong together.

If you’re dreaming of an all-inclusive Bali wedding package that reflects your love story—whether it’s chic, quirky, or deeply sentimental—Ella & Luke’s wedding is proof that Bali is the perfect place to begin your forever.

A Final Note from the Heart

To Ella & Luke: It’s been such a joy to walk this journey with you. I know we’ll stay in touch—whether in Bali, Australia, South Africa, or Europe—and I already miss our chats. You two are truly the best. Marry your best friend... just like you did.
