Flicking through our album of previous weddings and came across one that took place exactly a year ago today! Summer weddings in Hong Kong are generally avoided due to the hot, humid and sticky weather but this late afternoon wedding at the Union Church followed by the dinner reception at the nearby Helena May proved to be a cool affair. With a simple yet effective colour scheme of pink and white, long tables were set under swirling colonial style fans in this heritage building.
Am planning a wedding long-distance at the heritage Galle Face Hotel in Sri Lanka at the moment and it has certainly been a different (and at times, challenging) experience! Luckily, the couple have been very easy-going and patient and I have “The Bottom Line Events” in Columbo doing the groundwork. Will be working on the flowers this week with them by Skype (it was a bit worrying initially when she said all the flowers can be spray painted to my specifications!)

Not only was our recent bride beautiful and highly educated, she had impeccable manners and was a cut above the rest. She overcame all her wedding obstacles (everyone has them!) with poise and grace and was an inspiration to us all! It was truly a pleasure to work on their wedding. From the bonsai tree centerpieces that reflected the father of the groom’s love of gardening to the individual caricaturist drawings she commissioned for each member of bridal party, she thought of everything from the heart and we were privileged to have helped her make it happen.
Getting ready!
