Getting there & back

Bloommories is in Hang Dong, approximately 30 to 45 minutes from central Chiang Mai, depending on traffic.

We’ll arrange complimentary shuttles from central pickup points that serve the main hotel areas. For the return, we expect an earlier shuttle at approximately 9 PM and a final one after the celebrations finish.

Exact pickup points and times will be shared here and in our guest WhatsApp and LINE groups.

Travelling independently? Taxis and Grab are available, but we recommend arranging your return journey in advance.

What to wear

Garden Formal

We’re celebrating outdoors in a beautiful garden setting and would love everyone to dress up for the occasion. Think elegant, romantic and colourful.

Ladies

Floor-length dresses in our colour palette: coral, fuchsia, pink, peach, marigold, butter yellow, sage floral, aqua, sky blue, cobalt, lilac floral and violet, with matching colour swatches

Floor-length dresses in beautiful colours that complement the garden setting.

Gentlemen

Suits in our colour palette: cream, blush, terracotta, mustard, sage, sky blue, navy, lilac and brown, with matching colour swatches

Suits are encouraged, with ties optional.

  • We kindly ask guests to avoid black or white outfits.
  • The colours are inspiration, not a rule: choose what makes you feel wonderful.
  • We’ll be on grass, so block heels, wedges or flats rather than stilettos.
  • Evenings are cooler after sunset, so bring a light jacket, shawl or wrap.

Travel details

What you need to know

Visas

Please check the latest Thailand entry requirements for your passport before travelling. Visa exemptions and permitted stays vary by nationality and can change. Thai embassies and Thailand’s immigration authorities publish the official information.

The arrival card (TDAC)

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card. Travellers who need one should submit it within the three days before arrival, on the official website: tdac.immigration.go.th. It’s free, so please don’t use paid third-party services.

Flying to Chiang Mai

Fly into Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). From the UK or the Philippines that usually means one connection, often through Bangkok or another Asian hub. You can also fly to Bangkok and book a separate domestic flight.

Bangkok has two airports, Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK), on opposite sides of the city. If you’re changing between them or booking separate tickets, allow plenty of time for immigration, luggage and the transfer.

From the airport & getting around

Take Grab or an official airport taxi. Most central hotels are 15 to 30 minutes away. Grab is also the easiest way to get around the city.

Weather

January is one of the loveliest times to visit: dry, with warm, sunny days around 28 to 30°C and cooler nights around 14 to 17°C. It’s cooler still in the mountains, so pack a jacket or jumper for evenings and day trips.

Money

Cards are widely accepted at larger hotels, shopping centres and many restaurants, but smaller cafés, markets and street-food stalls may prefer cash (Thai Baht) or local QR payments. ATMs are everywhere, though withdrawal fees may apply.

Things to do

Chiang Mai is where we live, and sharing it with you is one of the things we’re most excited about. These are places we genuinely love. If you can, stay a few extra days.

Where to stay

We recommend staying in central Chiang Mai, close to restaurants, cafés, shops and the city’s main sights. These are also the areas the wedding shuttles will pick up from.

Old City

The historic heart, inside the ancient walls and moat. Temples, cafés and boutique hotels, lovely on foot.

Nimman

Modern and lively, with excellent coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques and shopping.

Riverside

Relaxed and scenic beside the Ping River, with beautiful hotels and restaurants.

Night Bazaar

A convenient base with larger hotels and shopping, close to the Old City and Riverside.

Our story

We began our lives in different corners of the world, surrounded by different cultures, traditions, and stories. For years, we walked separate paths, unaware that somewhere, someone else’s story would one day become part of our own.

Then, unexpectedly, our worlds met. And despite all the differences between us, we found something wonderfully familiar in each other — a place to belong, a life to share, and a love to choose, always.

From our hearts to yours, we’d love for you to celebrate with us.

A Filipino tradition

Ninongs & ninangs

In Filipino weddings, the couple chooses principal sponsors: ninongs (godfathers) and ninangs (godmothers).

They’re family members and friends we look up to. They stand as official witnesses to our marriage and promise to guide and support us throughout our married life. It’s an honour, and a role for life.
