Andrea & Matt at Seaside Finolhu

Andrea and Matt married at Seaside Finolhu in Baa Atoll, the UNESCO biosphere reserve, on an island with a 1.3-kilometre sandbank and Hanifaru Bay's manta rays a short boat ride away. They came for a wedding on the sand with the people closest to them, 35 minutes by seaplane from Malé. Ikebana Maldives designed and produced the wedding with the resort's events team: the ceremony setting on the beach, the flowers and the reception that followed. Baa Atoll asks for a light hand, and the design let the island do most of the talking.
