Set on Bali’s east coast, Rumah Luwih Bali is one of those wedding venues that feels completely different from the usual tropical Bali setting. The property has a beautiful colonial-style architecture, wide ocean views, and elegant gardens that give the wedding a timeless atmosphere. With its grand structure and classic details, Rumah Luwih feels more like a private estate than a typical resort.
For this Rumah Luwih Bali wedding, the day began quietly with the bride getting ready at the hotel. The morning was filled with the usual excitement of hair, makeup, the wedding dress, and a few quiet moments before the celebration began.
From Rumah Luwih to the Church
The couple then left Rumah Luwih for their church ceremony, located around 20 minutes away from the venue. The ceremony was a meaningful and intimate part of the day, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
After the church ceremony, everyone returned to Rumah Luwih for the next part of the celebration.
A Traditional Tea Pai Ceremony
Back at the hotel, the couple continued with their Tea Pai ceremony. It was a beautiful contrast to the Western church ceremony, bringing their family traditions into the wedding day.
The elegant interiors of Rumah Luwih worked beautifully for the ceremony, with the classic architecture creating a calm and sophisticated backdrop for the family moments.
A Reception That Made a Statement
The reception was where the whole wedding transformed.
The decor was designed around an elegant black-and-white checkerboard floor, creating a bold foundation for the reception space. Against the darker backdrop, the floral arrangements, hanging installations, and crystal chandeliers brought in a softer and more romantic feeling.
The oversized floral arrangements were filled with white and pastel flowers, while the hanging floral lamps added another layer of detail above the tables. But the real statement was the checkerboard floor. It gave the reception a slightly fashion-forward, editorial feeling while still fitting naturally with the grand architecture of Rumah Luwih.
As the evening continued, the lighting changed the entire atmosphere. The chandeliers became warmer and more dramatic, and the dance floor turned into the perfect setting for the couple’s first dance.
From the colonial architecture and ocean views to the traditional Tea Pai ceremony and dramatic reception design, this Rumah Luwih Bali wedding was a beautiful combination of classic Bali, family traditions, and modern wedding styling.
