Dreamy Beach Wedding in Hua Hin: A Blend of Thai Tradition and Western Romance
Venue: Anantara Huahin

The bride and groom, who both grew up and currently live in the US, chose Thailand as their wedding destination because it’s where the bride is originally from. Dreaming of a beachside celebration, they picked Hua Hin for its stunning coastal setting.
Their big day kicked off with a traditional Thai wedding ceremony, starting with a lively groom’s parade. The groom had to make his way through six “gates” set up by the bride’s family, known as the “gate crashing” tradition. Each gate came with playful games and light-hearted challenges for the groom’s side to complete before he was allowed to meet his bride. It was a wonderful way to break the ice and set the mood with laughter and joy all around.
The morning was dedicated to honouring the rich traditions of Thailand. Later in the day, the celebration seamlessly transitioned into a Western-style wedding, complete with the bride’s walk down the aisle, an exchange of vows and rings, and an evening reception.
The evening was filled with warmth, love, and endless smiles. There were touching speeches from family and friends, a romantic first dance, the cutting of the cake, and even a delightful flash mob surprise arranged by the bride. It was truly a night to remember, bringing together the best of both cultures in a way that felt personal, joyful, and unforgettable.
