Kapanlagi.com - The wedding of Luna Maya and Maxime Bouttier is currently in the spotlight. The couple has been dating for almost 3 years before officially getting married on Wednesday (7/5). Happiness envelops both of their hearts.

Luna and Maxime's wedding was held lavishly in Bali with a series of ceremonies. Starting from the traditional cleansing, the marriage vows, to an intimate party. This wedding can be said to be very different from a local-style wedding. What are the differences?

1. Venue

Luna Maya got married at COMO Shambhala Estate, a luxury resort that blends with nature. According to the resort's website, this place is also a nature conservation area spanning 22 hectares.

To stay for just one night, anyone must shell out around Rp12 million. This figure is reported by Tiket.com. Various facilities are offered, ranging from private swimming pools to restaurants serving healthy food.

Meanwhile, local-style weddings are often held in front of the house, complete with tents that extend and take up the road. Sometimes, the road in front of the house is even closed, especially if the house is located in an alley.

2. Decoration
