The Garden Wedding of Nayomi and Nilmin's Dreams

From the very first time I met Nayomi and Nilmin, I knew their wedding was going to be something truly special. Hosted at Citrus Waskaduwa and surrounded by their family and friends, their garden celebration was everything they had imagined! Nayomi, with her meticulous organization and eye for detail, was the perfect balance to Nilmin's adventurous spirit and desire to do things a little differently.

A Love Built on Adventure

Nayomi and Nilmin's love story brought them to this beautiful moment, where after building a life together filled with shared adventures and dreams, they were ready to celebrate their love in the most authentic way possible. Their vision was clear from the start: an outdoor celebration that felt true to who they are as a couple, infused with earthy tones, natural beauty, and thoughtful personal touches.

Bringing Their Boho Garden Vision to Life

Nayomi and Nilmin made the most of the beauty of nature for their outdoor wedding, creating a magical atmosphere with lush floral arrangements from Frances Decor, soft greenery, earthy tones, and romantic lighting. Flower Bar transformed the space with twinkling fairy lights and flowing drapes that added warmth, while custom details like a personalized dance floor, a creative "bucket list" station for guests to share wishes and adventures, and even a custom chocolate bar made the celebration their own.

Citrus Waskaduwa was perfect for the occasion, with its natural gardens providing the ceremony backdrop, the amphitheater for cocktails and dancing, and the outdoor space on the grand lawn for the reception. The inherent beauty of the venue made it the perfect garden wedding destination for them! Bennett Jayamanne's elegant marquee became the heart of the reception, draped in earthy-toned fabrics that perfectly complemented the natural surroundings.

An Unforgettable Celebration Under the Stars

Nayomi looked absolutely radiant in her custom gown from Vishan Gunawardana Studio, a design that perfectly captured her elegant yet relaxed style, while Nilmin was equally dapper in his tailored suit from Dressmaster, looking every bit the adventurous groom ready for a lifetime of exploration with his bride. The bridal beauty team of Makeup by Madushi and Hair by Chloe created the perfect romantic look that complemented both the dress and the garden setting beautifully.

Nayomi and Nilmin's wedding was full of unforgettable moments. Their ceremony surrounded by lush gardens was particularly meaningful, creating an intimate atmosphere that perfectly captured their love story. From getting ready with their wedding party to dancing the night away, every moment was special! The amphitheater came alive with the soulful sounds of Cold Sweat, creating the perfect atmosphere for cocktails and mingling, while later DJ Reshan kept the energy high as guests danced under those magical fairy lights.

One of their favorite memories was watching guests discover the custom chocolate bar, their faces lighting up with delight at this sweet surprise that perfectly captured the couple's playful spirit and love of life's simple pleasures!

Capturing Every Precious Moment

Photography was especially important to Nayomi and Nilmin, and they chose Amarante Lifestyle Studio to ensure every memory of their day was captured with timeless, magazine-worthy beauty. The entire celebration was also beautifully documented by Siyak Seenu, whose videography captured not just the events but the pure joy and emotion of the day.

From the intimate ceremony moments to the lively after-party where their closest friends and family danced until dawn, every precious second was preserved forever.

Seamless Planning for Maximum Joy

Planning such a magical event took careful coordination over twelve months. Nayomi and Nilmin worked closely with their planning team to bring every detail to life, and the seamless execution allowed them to be fully present for every precious moment.

Their goal was to create an experience that felt authentically them while ensuring their guests felt completely immersed in the celebration. From the personalized dance floor to the perfect timeline for their after-party, every detail was thoughtfully considered.

The Bucket List Magic

A standout moment was seeing the "bucket list" station come to life, with guests sharing heartfelt wishes and dream adventures that beautifully reflected Nayomi and Nilmin's shared passion for exploration and new experiences.

This creative touch became a beautiful keepsake of their special day and perfectly captured their adventurous spirits.

The result was a wedding that perfectly captured their essence: timeless, heartfelt, and filled with joy. Citrus Waskaduwa truly came alive that evening, its natural charm blending seamlessly with their vision.
