“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.” – Audrey Hepburn.

Gian Aditya Thekno and Karina Soenjoyo are a couple with beautiful minds. Temporary superficial glam was not appealing to them—yet to have something astoundingly everlasting, was. So when they shared their wish to have a grand wedding with timeless elegance, we were more than ready to make it come true.

Our first meeting with Gian & Karina was in 2019. After we had a big picture of how the wedding would be, we thought that David Tutera, with his jaw-dropping portfolio of American celebrities’ weddings, would be the perfect designer for this. David flew from the US to Surabaya to personally ensure every details in his mood board could be executed perfectly. Needless to say, our team of 3 wedding advisors and 55 crews were beyond excited to see how his brilliant vision would do magic on Gian & Karina’s big day.

However due to the pandemic, we had to postpone the wedding from 20 June 2020 to 19 June 2021. Since the international border was closed, David Tutera could not attend the wedding himself, but Steve Herbert Pesik from Steve’s Décor executed David’s concept perfectly. With his years of expertise, Steve turned The Westin Grand Ballroom into a luxury scene of sparkling crystal with classic chandeliers.

It was a dramatic night—almost like a Gala, where the main stage decoration was inspired by Victoria’s Secret runway and Oscar Awarding Night. From the crystal curtain as the main entrance to the classic wedding cake—everything was a memorable sight to remember. It was still clear in our mind how Gian’s face lit up as his arm intertwined with Karina in her Grace Kelly-inspired dress, designed by the one and only Yefta Gunawan.

We at Project Art Plus are proud to say that we always maintain the highest level of hospitality and attention to details in every event, including Gian & Karina’s. Although the pandemic required us to be extra careful and maintain the strict health protocol, it would not stop us from giving the best and beyond service for your once-in-a-lifetime moment!
