Vintner’s Dream
For the perfect way to say, “Hon, this marriage just gets better with each passing day”, choose a bottle of fine wine to share on your special day. Over the past few decades, wines from New Zealand have risen in popularity for their unrivalled purity, in particular the sauvignon blancs. But oenophiles agree that the country’s beautiful climate and vast landscapes have also resulted in some stunning pinot noirs.
Registered 100 per cent sustainable, Urlar Pinot Noir 2014, Wairarapa is an elegant bouquet of dark red berry fruits, dried herb and red florals with hints of savoury notes that come together in a silky texture. Savour this with a dinner of lamb, venison or duck.
Available at The Straits Wine Company.

If you check into Regent Singapore, you’ll have a range of decadent food choices to delight in, from a breakfast buffet at award-winning Basilico to afternoon tea at Tea Lounge to dim sum at Summer Palace, and who can resist the delectable sweet things at gourmet pasticceria Dolcetto by Basilico.
After your meal, take a romantic stroll through the nearby Botanic Gardens and come evening, dress up and head over to the hotel’s Manhattan bar. Recently awarded #11 World's Best Bar and Asia's Best Bar, it’s the perfect place to enjoy your favourite tipple and relive those courtship days.

Call Of The Wild
Actions speak louder than words, especially when it comes to affairs of the heart. While they may not be able to talk like some other parrot species, lovebirds never fail to capture our attention with their affectionate personality and charm. For the inseparable couple, this Lovebirds crystal sculpture from Lalique lends a charming tropical touch to the family nest. Depicting a pair of parrots nuzzling each other, it is crafted from exquisite satin crystal of the most dainty hue, symbolising the tenderness of a couple’s love.

The Royal Treatment
When you’re spoilt for choice with the variety of spa treatments out there, pick one that promises the royal treatment. The couple spa St Gregory—which marks its 20th year in the wellness and spa industry—sets the tone for total indulgence and healing with candle lights, a rose scent wafting through the air and your choice of soft music. Inspired by Cleopatra’s ancient bathing ritual, the 90-minute treatment begins with a soak in the award-winning Elemis skin-nourishing milk bath.
Jets from the couple Jacuzzi gently massage the body as your skin savours the bath’s rich milk proteins and natural plant collagen that keeps skin silky smooth. This is followed by your choice of body massage. While ladies may prefer the gentle Swedish massage strokes of the tension-releasing and uplifting Aromatic Body Bliss massage using their choice of oils, men will appreciate the long, firmer strokes of the traditional Balinese massage which not only removes those knots in the shoulder and back but also boosts sluggish circulation and helps purge toxins. A cup of Eight Treasures tea rounds up the session nicely.
