Wedding Feature: A Modern East Meets West Wedding

Wedding Feature: A Modern East Meets West Wedding

In celebration of the Chinese New Year, we’re featuring a beautiful East Meets West Wedding. Here’s a quick walk through, with a timeless red and gold theme. This wedding is a great example of how to mix traditional elements with a modern flair for style.

AM 1

Adding candlelight accentuates a warm atmosphere for guests throughout the evening.

AM 2

Capturing city lights in the background brings a modern flair to a traditional colour scheme. The gold table cloth and the red highlights on both the cake and the backdrop tie the theme together. The contrast between the boldness of the red and the softness of the gold creates a balanced table. In the image below, the red table cloths create a rich visual, which is softened perfectly by the lighter colours of the chairs and tableware.

AM 3

Don’t forget about details in the décor. These beautiful red roses in gold are a stunning way to extend the theme of the wedding for guests to enjoy. The bridal bouquet is also a perfect opportunity to display the red and gold colours.

AM 4Picking a theme and colour scheme is an important part of the wedding planning process. The wedding details always help set the tone for a truly special evening, and it’s important to do your research so you know what will work best for your wedding.

AM 5

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.
