When Melody and Boris chose Bali for their wedding weekend, they envisioned more than just a ceremony, they dreamed of an immersive experience with their closest friends and family. Flying in from China, they gathered at the renowned Amankila resort for four unforgettable days of celebration, connection, and luxury.
They rented the entire property, each villa with its own private pool, ensuring a truly private oasis for their guests. The festivities began on Thursday with intimate newlywed portraits and family photos around the grounds’ lush scenery. That evening, Melody and Boris hosted a private dinner with their immediate family - an elegant, quiet prelude to the busy weekend ahead.
Friday featured a lively rehearsal dinner and welcome party on the beach club lawn, just steps from the sand. Tables were dressed in an inspired palette of pastels, fruit accents, and bold pops of color—an artful, tropical-meets-modern aesthetic. Guests arrived dressed to the nines, reflecting the couple’s impeccable eye for detail and style.
Saturday morning opened with a playful nod to Chinese tradition: the bride and her bridesmaids challenged the groom and his groomsmen with games and pranks designed to test Boris’s devotion. Laughter carried over into a relaxed brunch before everyone prepared for the main event.
Now for the real first look. Although Boris had his guard up the second time around - this one took his breath away. Melody & Boris shared their first look on a private floating path surrounded by spralling foliage.
As the night deepened, guests enjoyed a dramatic champagne tower, a spectacular firework display over the water, and an exuberant after-party on the lower terrace. True to her modern and chic style, Melody made four seamless outfit changes throughout the night, each reflecting the evolving mood—from classic ceremony elegance to laid-back, late-night celebration.
This wedding was more than an event; it was a testament to Melody and Boris’s commitment to creating something extraordinary for their loved ones. Set against the backdrop of Amankila’s timeless beauty, it was an experience no one will forget.
They got ready in individual bungalows as anticipation grew. Melody's details were incredibly intentional - down to the welcome bags she had assembled for their guests, included almond goodies from her business Eat Drink Momo.
And pranks continued... A first look Boris will never forget.
Their oceanfront ceremony was breathtaking. Overlooking Amankila’s famed tiered infinity pools and the sea beyond, they exchanged vows surrounded by floating petals, gentle sea breezes, and panoramic views.
Dinner followed under billowing linen drapery, with elegant candlelight and sophisticated glassware completing the scene.
