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!

Winning WPIC Destination Wedding Planner of the Year feels especially meaningful this year. This journey started with my own wedding in Italy 16 years ago. With such a distinguished panel of judges, this recognition carries a quiet weight — one that I hold with deep gratitude.

Behind every destination wedding week abroad is not just design and logistics, but a family making it possible.

To my husband — who holds everything together at home while I travel — and to the grandmas who step in with endless love… this honour belongs to you too.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your most intimate celebrations, far from home. To be welcomed into your wedding world abroad is the greatest privilege of my work.

And to my fellow planners and creative partners around the world — your generosity, collaboration, and kindness are what elevate this industry we love.

This award is shared. 🤍

Trruly honoured to be nominated for the WEMA Circle Awards 🤍
This one feels different.

After years of building celebrations across cultures, borders, and generations, being recognised on a global stage that values integrity, craftsmanship, and intention means more than I can say. No politics. No pay-to-play. Just real work, seen and acknowledged by peers who understand what goes into every detail behind the scenes.

WEMA represents the kind of industry I believe in — inclusive, global, and rooted in respect for both the craft and the people who pour their hearts into it.

Grateful to stand alongside wedding professionals around the world who continue to raise the bar with purpose, care, and authenticity.

Closing out 2025 with a full heart ❤️

A year of adventures ✈️, travel 🌍, timelines 📋, and weddings 💍 across cities and borders.

Grateful beyond words 🙏 for the trust of our clients, the support of incredible vendors 🤝, and the friendships 💫 that carried me through every challenge.

Being entrusted with my couples’ most meaningful life moments is something I never take it for granted 🤍

This year stretched my creativity, tested my logistics skills, and pushed me past what I thought was possible — and somehow, I always made it to the other side 💪✨

None of this would be possible without the unwavering love and support of my family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season 🎄✨ and a beautiful start to 2026 🥂
