This couple chose Thailand as their wedding location and opted for two ceremonies - an Eastern and a Western one.
After first talking on Instagram—while living on opposite sides of the world—Rico flew from Australia to the UK to meet Emma. The two ended up backpacking together and spent 18 months traveling around South East Asia and Australia, before Emma eventually moved to Australia to be with Rico. Now, with a love story like that—you can only guess how epic their wedding would be!

The guys wanted a bohemian wedding that felt like a big celebration, so they decided to have two ceremonies with two dresses and two locations. The wedding took place at Rayavadee in Krabi, Thailand.
To start off their special day, the two had a Buddhist ceremony in the morning, held inside a cave. All the florals were white, with tons of luscious greenery for an overall ethereal vibe. The second ceremony paid homage to Western culture, while bringing in the beauty of the region.
