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 plan your own destination wedding in Florence… and accidentally build a career from it. 🇮🇹✨

16 years ago, I got married in Florence with no idea that one day I’d be planning weddings across Italy, France, Portugal, and beyond.

Florence will always be the place where the dream started. ❤️

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.
