[wedding] Laura and Richard, Beach Republic, Lamai Beach, Koh Samui

I really don’t know where to start with this blog post… Laura and Richard’s wedding was AH-MAZING and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to describe the pure awesomeness of their day but I’ll give it a go!

After meeting them for their Pre-Wedding and getting to know them, I was so excited for what their day would turn out to be! Laura was so relaxed and chill maybe it was being back on Koh Samui, or maybe it was just all the fun they’d been having so far. Their guests had been slowly arriving on the island and Laura and Rich had been showing everyone around and making sure that this was the wedding/holiday for everyone to remember…

They chose to have their wedding at the beautiful Beach Republic, and Julie the Resident Manager there helped plan and decorate everything for them… Their wedding date fell on her birthday as well so we all got to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ too!

Here goes…their day turned out to be more fun than anything I could’ve imagined 🙂

They had their friends and family get photos of each other before the ceremony… I think they look cute as hanging up like this 🙂

Rich got these gifts for Laura and sent them to her in the morning, a stunning Marc Jacobs bag and Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel… she loved them both! 🙂

The fireshow was spectacular and I love this moment with Rich hugging Nik and Laura chatting away with the firedancer in the background and DJ Dan as well!

They organised for all of their guests to be able to set off a lantern each, these are a symbol of good fortune in Thailand.
