Wedding Feature: Nadine and Ratta's 'Extremely Mega Super Duper Crazy' Unconventional Wedding

What happens when two designers decide to merge and get married? Well, look no further than to Nadine Hanisya (@hanichatte) and Ratta Bill's (@rattabill) wedding. As the two were the creative minds behind a new design studio called Tiny Studio (@tttinnyyy), their wedding became an expression and reflection of their creative style. And the result? It was a simple, unconventional, and intimate celebration inspired by industrial design. I had the chance to correspond with the bride herself, and she said they wanted their wedding to be true to themselves; an honest portrayal of who they are not just as a couple but also as a studio. The whole wedding took place on the yard of the couple's new home to give it a more humble and intimate ambience, which were important aspects to the bride and groom.

It seems almost every relationship has their own trials and tribulations, including Nadine and Ratta’s. They were separated through long distance for five years, but they pushed through. It was worth it in the end, as now they have completed their long history together with a sacred union. This whole journey was turned into print as Wedding Journals to share with their guests. A show of the victory of their love; a heartwarming and enduring story that is the start to a new chapter of their lives. The Journal was the result of the bride and groom’s collaborations with @keizazz, @_magis, @ssosa___space, and @evilporcelain.

D.I.Y. was a key element for the wedding, as both the bride and groom were majorly involved in turning their dream day into reality, like making parts of their decorations themselves. Not only that, the couple wanted to put emphasis on the strong emotional connections with their loved ones. That being the case, they enlisted the help of their closest friends and family, as they are the people the couple trusted the most to help with their big day, which added to the intimacy and humility of their wedding. The bride's cousin Kiara Pense (@kiarapense) created the whole wedding decoration and made all the beautiful flower pieces herself, she also had decorating help from the bride's older brother Danang Prananda (@macanrumahan_). The catering was from Chef Biman (@bimanindra), the couple's friend, souvenirs by their neighbour-studio Makaci (@mak.aci), wedding suit by Edo of Elhaus (@elhaus), and the bride's akad attire was made by another of her cousins, Dyandra Malika (@dyandramalika).

Nadine and Ratta set out to create a heartwarming, intimate, humble, and honest wedding; a celebration that is true to themselves. In doing so, they not only succeeded, but also created one of the most unique and unconventional weddings I have seen to date. I could feel the originality and creativity mirrored from their design studio (and from who they are as a couple), shining clearly on every aspect of their wedding. I’m willing to bet, the guests, the closest friends and family who have been a part of this wedding, felt it too. Congratulations to the happy couple!
