I was browsing through internet when i found this article. I think this is a very intersting ideas of hair do you can use on you BIG day!!!

Ceremony
You only get one chance to wear a veil — so make it stylish, like an of-the-moment studded headpiece.

Reception
Since the veil is short, you could wear it for the reception, but real blooms — especially bold ones like orchids — are a striking addition to an updo.

Ceremony
An updo that starts off a little bit loose — the kind that looks better when every lock isn’t perfectly in place — can be dramatically and easily transformed.

Reception
Removing the pins from this curled and twisted style gives your hair a long, lush look for the party.

Ceremony
A braid goes from schoolgirl to siren when it’s pinned up asymmetrically around the back of the head.

Reception
Take the braid down and let your hair loose for a carefree, romantic reception look.

Ceremony
A sleek and modern look still needs a little height. Tease the front part for a hip half updo.

Reception
A pristine low ponytail makes a totally new statement. And it’s more wearable through hours of dancing.

Ceremony
Try a more traditional style for the ceremony. A bun is a great way to add some vintage inspiration, like this ribbon edge veil.

Reception
A couture veil will instantly spice up your reception look. This stunning cage veil is chic and sophisticated.

MARRIAGE LAWS, LICENSES AND CERTIFICATES

Bali is part of the Republic of Indonesia and is subject to Indonesia Laws. Every couple considering getting married in Bali must comply with these Laws.

In accordance with Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriages in Indonesia (Article 2 (1): “a marriage is legitimate if it has been performed according to the laws of the respective religious beliefs of the parties concerned.”

All couples who marry in Indonesia must declare a religion. Agnosticism and Atheism are not recognized. The civil Registry Office can record marriages of persons of Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian-Protestant and Christian-Catholic faiths. Marriage partners must have the same religion, otherwise one partner must make a written declaration of change of religion.

The Religious Marriage under Islam is performed by the office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama) in a ceremony at a mosque, the home, a restaurant, or any other place chosen by the couple and is legal immediately after ceremony.

A Christian, Hindu or Buddhist marriage is usually performed first in a church or temple ceremony. After the religious ceremony, every non-Islamic marriage must be recorded with the Civil Registry (Kantor Catatan Sipil). Without the registration by the civil Registry there marriages are not legal.

Persons of non-Islamic faith are required to file with the Civil Registry Office in the Regency where they are staying first a ‘Notice of Intention to Marry” as well as a “Letter of No Impediment” Obtained from their consular representatives.

For the issue of the Letter of No Impediment to Marriage by your Consular Representative you will need to present for yourself and your fiance(e) your Passport(s) valid for more than 6 months and Certified Divorce Decrees (absolute/final) and/or death Certificates regarding the termination of all previous marriages. Please contact the Consular Representative of your country for details well before your intended date of marriage.

For the notice of Itention to Marry you have to submit the following documents for both partners to the Civil Registry Office (show the original and present a photocopy):

Before the marriange, you and your fiance(e) also may wish to file with the Civil Registry a prenuptial Property Agreement (Surat Pernyatan Harta) which must be signed before a local Notary Public. This contract is necessary if you wish to hold property seperately during the marriage. In the absence of such a document, Indonesian marriage law assumes joint ownership of property, and subsequent property acuistions by the Indonesian partner will be regulated accoerding to the laws restricting foreign property ownership.

Two witnesses over the age of 18 are required. They must show the originals and present the photocopies of their passports if they are foreign citizens or KTP (identity cards) if they are Indonesian citizens. civil Registry employees can act as witnesses.
