Kapanlagi.com - Behind the elegant appearance of Luna Maya and Maxime Bouttier during the wedding ceremony at Como Shambala Estate, Bali, lies an interesting detail about the paes ageng accessories she wore. Luna entrusted the entire set of accessories to renowned accessory designer, Rinaldy Yunardi.
"Luna mentioned that she wanted a Javanese theme, specifically from Yogyakarta," said Rinaldy Yunardi when contacted by Kapanlagi.com.
Although embracing Yogyakarta customs, Luna did not want to appear too traditional. She expressed her desire to Rinaldy to incorporate a modern touch into her wedding accessories.

"She wanted to have a modern touch, not too traditional," he said.
This request became a unique challenge for Rinaldy, who is affectionately called Koh Yungyung. He still had to maintain the Yogyakarta customs while providing a modern touch that matched Luna's character.
"Luna said, ‘I want it to be simple, just small things. The tiara shouldn't be too tall,’" Rinaldy explained.
1. Special Request
Not only a tiara, Luna also has special requests for other accessory details such as hairpins and centung. Rinaldy adjusted the sizes to keep them sweet and proportional.
"She requested that the centung on the left and right not be too large. For the hairpins, usually the sizes are the same, but this time I made them tiered," he explained.
As a designer, Rinaldy wants to maintain uniqueness while adhering to tradition. He also created five hairpins in different sizes.
"The middle one I made the largest, then on the left and right are medium sizes, and the last two are smaller," he said.
Throughout the design and production process, Luna gave full trust to Rinaldy. All designs were approved without many revisions, and there were even improvisations that Luna ended up liking.
"My designs were approved immediately. There were no major revisions, everything went smoothly," he said.
2. Add Ears

Rinaldy also included additional elements that Luna had not requested before, but they still fit the overall look.
“I added small ears on the right and left. Luna didn't ask for that initially, but she liked it when she saw the result,” said Rinaldy.
Although he initially focused only on Luna's accessories, Rinaldy eventually also designed accessories for Maxime Bouttier. This request came later, but he still worked on it enthusiastically.
“I asked, ‘Lun, isn’t Maxime wearing anything?’ She immediately replied, ‘Oh yeah, please make something for him,’” she said.
Maxime chose a simple accessory style that still reflects the traditions of Yogyakarta. Rinaldy adjusted the designs from brooches on the belangkon to chains hanging into pockets.
“So I made a brooch for the belangkon, a neck brooch, and a chain for the pocket—all simple but still have a traditional nuance,” he explained.
3. Making a Kris Too

Interestingly, a week later, a new request came in to make a kris. Although he had never made one before, Rinaldy agreed.
“Suddenly I was asked, ‘Can you make a kris, Koh?’ I had never made one, but I like to please people,” said Rinaldy.
He then created a kris-shaped accessory as part of a fashion display, not a traditional heirloom.
“The kris is not a sacred object, but more of a fashion accessory. So I made it myself,” he said.
Overall, the accessories made by Rinaldy for Luna and Maxime totaled dozens of items. Everything was completed in less than a month.
“In total, there are five hairpins, two ladles, one platform, two small ear pieces, a jasmine top sirkam, and three small brooches at the back of the bun,” he concluded.
