Chinese New Year Home Styling Tips on Focus Cantonese Omni TV

Gung Hei Fat Choy!  Last week, Wendy Lee from Asian Fusion Weddings and I were invited to Focus Cantonese on Omni TV to speak about home decorating and styling tips for Chinese New Year.   The segment was based on a recent photoshoot we collaborated that was featured on Toronto Star yesterday.

We created two looks for the table top using traditional Chinese tableware.  As seen on set, the one on the left was a more traditional style with Mun Shou Longevity porcelain pattern that can be found at home for most Chinese families.  The look was elevated by adding a touch of elegance using a high quality table linen and creating layers using gold beaded chargers.  

On the right, we created a more muted modern look with the traditional Ching Tung blue and white porcelain tableware and vases coordinating with tones of pink flowers.  The blue and white porcelain pattern tableware could also be found in most Chinese homes and it is easy to recreate the look.  It is also a very popular pattern right now and this look can be reinterpreted for other celebrations such as bridal showers and baby showers.

Here are some behind the scene shots by Pepper and Light.  Shout out to Bridal Secretary for dolling me up and Secrets Floral Collection for providing the flowers on set.  Tableware by Event Rental Group and Plate Occasions.  Stay tuned for more photos of our photo shoot this week on our blog!

POV: you’re supposed to be enjoying teamLab Planets… but your event planner brain won’t switch off. 😂

The projections. The music. The scent. The movement. The way every room makes you feel something.

I went for the experience and left thinking about the future of weddings and events.

Because what if the next big event trend isn’t more décor… but creating a world your guests can actually step into? 👀✨

Are immersive projections about to have their moment in events?

Wedding planner content: lighting candles, fixing menus and casually walking around looking put together. ✨

The reality? That’s probably 10% of the job. 😂

The other 90% is happening behind the scenes — nonstop texts and phone calls, weather decisions, last-minute changes, communicating with vendors before they arrive, adjusting timelines and solving things before our couples ever know there was a problem.

Those moments are rarely captured because… well, we’re usually too busy doing them.

So shoutout to Garbo for catching some of the real action at Amy & Brian’s wedding. 🤍

This is what wedding planning actually looks like.

A day in the life of a wedding planner ✨ Amy & Brian’s wedding day edition.

We went back and forth on the rain plan more times than I’d like to admit 🌧️☀️ — but in the end, the weather gave us the most beautiful golden hour, followed by fireworks to close out the night. 🎆

One of my favourite parts of this wedding was bringing a full Chinese catering experience into a venue that doesn’t host this style of service often. It takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — between the venue, caterer, kitchen, rentals and our planning team — to make everything flow seamlessly.

And this is exactly the kind of challenge I love. When everyone comes together with professionalism, flexibility and a shared goal of creating the best experience for the couple and their guests, magic happens.

Congratulations Amy & Brian! ❤️

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue.
It isn’t the flowers.
Or the view.
It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling.

Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about:
• How guests will experience the ceremony
• Where the light falls
• The flow of the space
• The details no one notices—until they’re missing

This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes.

Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins.
