Jewels Sparkling in the Night – A Glamorous Wedding Styled Shoot at Baia
Get inspired by the glamour of this jewel-toned Baia wedding styled shoot, where lush florals highlight ornate interiors for a night of luxe revelry.
With rich jewel tones set in the stylish elegance of a newly launched rooftop venue, this wedding styled shoot hopes inspire couples who want to celebrate their newlywed status from dusk till dawn.
As couples often request romantic pastels and day shoots, wedding florist Claire from Huahee and photographers Mun and Jaz from Forlover Co. wanted to challenge themselves to create something different. Offering a fresh perspective on wedding artistry, they set out to create a luxurious indoor styled shoot that reimagines timeless wedding elegance with vibrant jewel tones to offer couples inspiration for a night of glamorous revelry.
Finding the right venue was key to telling the story of this styled shoot. The team found their muse in Baia, a newly opened, high-octane restaurant on the rooftop of Esplanade Mall that reimagines timeless elegance with a modern twist. Inspired by the historic holiday resort city loved and frequented by the Roman aristocracy, Baia’s rich decor and captivating rooftop views overlooking Marina Promenade created the ideal setting.
“The restaurant’s lush, ornate interiors transport you to back in time to the historical Italian seaside town near Naples that Baia takes its name from,” Claire noted. “Its mural walls and jewel-toned furnishings provided the perfect backdrop, while the outdoor alfresco area allowed us to capture stunning night-time shots against the cityscape.”
The creative team immediately turned to jewel tones for their bold yet sophisticated colour palette. “Jewel tones are a rarity in most weddings,” they shared. “Their vibrant yet elegant shades make them perfect for crafting a luxurious look that is both timeless and modern.” The palette allowed the team to play with a mix of warm and cool hues, creating a striking contrast.
To bring this concept to life, Claire from Huahee chose lush blooms such as hydrangeas and delphiniums in gorgeously rich shades of blue, purple, and teal. These flowers, prized for their opulent appearance, were used in abundance to transform the space into a visual feast.
The shoot was achieved with a dream team of collaborators. Brenda and Rayvin, a real-life couple who recently tied the knot, brought authenticity and chemistry to the shoot. Their connection, both physical and emotional, shone through the lens of Forlover Co., who captured the couple’s natural moments with artistry.
Bridal boutique Frieda Brides provided two minimalist yet timeless wedding gowns for Brenda, perfectly complementing the sophisticated theme. For Rayvin, the boutique curated a classic suit that balanced elegance with contemporary flair.Silviana Makeup worked magic with Brenda and Rayvin’s looks. From radiant, natural makeup to hairstyles that highlighted Brenda’s best features, Silviana ensured the couple looked flawless under both indoor and outdoor lighting.
Huahee showcased their floral artistry with gold minimalist structures that allowed the arrangements to flow seamlessly with Baia’s bar area—a central feature of the venue. “We wanted the scenes to be dressed in abundant flowers yet not take away the attention of the beautiful restaurant,” shared Claire. The lush floral arrangements added an element of grandeur without overpowering the venue’s elegant interiors.
Beyond the bar, the table settings featured intricate floral details that tied into the shoot’s overarching theme. These meticulously styled scenes highlighted the gowns’ textures, the floral arrangements’ vibrancy, and the jewel-toned elegance of the décor.
Through this styled shoot, the team hopes to inspire couples to think outside the box. “Singapore’s hot and humid climate can make outdoor pre-wedding shoots challenging,” Jaz explained. “We want couples to see how an editorial-style indoor shoot, especially at night, can be a stunning alternative.”
They also hope to encourage couples to embrace the rich beauty of jewel tones. “This palette might feel intimidating, but when used thoughtfully, it creates an unforgettable, luxurious look,” Claire added. “Don’t be afraid to work with your florist to craft a palette that complements your vision and venue.”
This night-time jewel-toned styled shoot showcases the magic that happens when talented vendors push the boundaries of creativity. From bold palettes to luxurious floral arrangements, it’s a reminder that wedding shoots can be as unique and memorable as the love stories they celebrate.
