We are beyond excited to finally feature A&C’s stunning wedding, a wedding that looks like it was straight out of a Chinese soap opera!! Upon reflection of their special day we can't help but feel immense pride and joy for being a part of their journey. We spent a remarkable 14 months together, meticulously planning and crafting every single detail from start to finish (and through a pandemic!).

A&C’s wedding was a beautiful fusion of their Western upbringing and Chinese heritage, an homage to their cultural roots. From the very start, it was clear that they wanted their wedding to be a true representation of their blended cultures and identities. As their dedicated wedding planner, we worked alongside them to plan, design, and coordinate a modern Chinese wedding that would leave a lasting impression on everyone who attended. From the attire & decor to the color palette, music, linens, florals, and food — every detail was thoughtfully chosen to weave important customs in a modern way into every aspect of their special day.

The event design itself was a labor of love. We worked hard to ensure an immersive ambience for all the guests to enjoy cultural Chinese traditions and contemporary elegance. We found the perfect venue to lay the right foundation. The carefully curated color palette and floral design evoked vibrancy, with the pops of red and gold (and blush pink/peach to tie it all together). For the couple’s attire, A&C donned traditional Chinese celebration clothing and kept the bridal party clothing Westernized. For the decor and table details, we leaned into touches of Chinese symbolism and cultural motifs while working with a Chinese calligrapher and Western calligrapher to design a few pieces. Even the music selection was a harmonious blend of traditional (and pop!) Chinese melodies and contemporary tunes! A&C desired for their family and friends to witness their traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony, so we tied it into their Western Ceremony and invited all guests to enjoy.

As fellow members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community (and having just celebrated AAPI Heritage Month this past May), we are proud to say that nearly all of the vendors involved in this wedding were AAPI-owned businesses. It was important to the couple and to us that we support and highlight the immense creativity and skill within our community.

It was an honor to be a part of their special day and witness the love, culture, and traditions that intertwined throughout the celebration. Cheers to many more years of love and happiness! Congratulations again, A&C!!
