Island Intimacy

It’s the start of another work week, but fret not, ladies! We’re driving away the Monday blues with today’s featured wedding. I’ve been a fan of Amy and Jacky’s romance since I saw their overseas engagement photos. And after seeing their wedding photos today, I must say, this couple continues to amaze me. Their wedding is just all sorts of lovely! They picked an intimate venue, Samujana Villa Estate, that is nestled on top of a hill and overlooks the pristine beaches of Koh Samui, Thailand. The lush, green garden setting was adorned with white flowers and personalized details that are unique and fun. And finally, Amy was absolutely stunning in all her dresses. My personal favorite is the the peach sequinned dress from BHLDN–she looked so regal in it! Whatever kind of week you will be facing, take a moment to soak up the sun, sea, and sweet union of Jacky and Amy. Erika Gerdemark‘s photos will turn your week around. How I wish all Mondays looked this lovely!
