Malaysia may not have turquoise blue skies or flaming autumn leaves as a backdrop for your wedding. But what it does have in abundance are beautiful lush rainforests.

We scoured the Net to find some awesome wedding locations, specially for nature lovers. Note: We left out beaches and landscaped hotel gardens. We also focused only on forested places where you could actually host a wedding ceremony on the lawn, and not just do a pre-wedding photo shoot.

Here are some of the best locations we found in Malaysia for a forest or garden wedding ceremony surrounded by nature.

 

1. Gita Bayu, Seri Kembangan, Selangor

Just a short distance from central KL, Gita Bayu is an award-winning residence in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. It offers a mix of individual and cluster bungalows, low-rise apartments and villas, a fully functioning clubhouse at the heart and various other leisure facilities.

Within Gita Bayu, the Kebun Mimpi Restaurant offers a great wedding location. Set within 10 acres of lush tropical gardens at the edge of a shimmering lake, this majestic area also includes a floating pavilion on the lake itself; a perfect setting for an intimate wedding.

Capacity: 230 pax. However, if you are thinking of using the floating platform for your ceremony, it will only hold 20 or so.
