Engage all the senses
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Have you considered a signature scent to add that finishing touch for your wedding reception? Whether its a well-placed candle at the reception or various layers of scents, it works on a sub-conscious level to appeal to the senses and adds a personal stamp as long as you don’t over-do it! In Hong Kong, we love Jo Malone for their wide selection, contemporary brand image and of course, for their crisp and long-lasting scents.

Jo Malone boutiques located at Lane Crawford Times Square, IFC and Ocean Terminal.

From the heart
Thursday, June 24th, 2010

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!

Mischa Bridal Clutches
Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Inspired by her travels to Japan, Mischa Designs’ creator, Michelle Lai, reconstructs brocade obi belts into elegant handbags and accessories. We love it!

Her newest collection was created with brides-to-be in mind, re-using intricately designed obi belts in white, silver, and hints of pink fashioned into her signature dumpling clutch. These ‘dumplings’ are roomy and look great either half-filled or stuffed. A great accessory either pre- or post wedding, and useful for keeping some must-have items close at hand on your wedding day – lipstick, mints, mobile phone and more!

Michelle created her first obi clutch because she had difficulty in finding a clutch to match a dress for a friend’s wedding. For all you thoughtful brides-to-be, you can also gift your bridal party with a luxurious obi clutch to say thank you for their love and support on your wedding day.

Mischa Designs is based in Hong Kong, and available in Singapore, New York, Jeddah, and Paris. Visit her website Mischa Designs on how to order!

Atelier Isabey
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I recently met up with the team behind Atelier Isabey, a bespoke invitation design company based in New York. Wow! What attention to detail, stunning designs and luxurious printing and finishes. Apart from a ready to ‘order’ collection, their forté is in custom design — from the initial sketches to the final product, it truly becomes a work of art. They are open to working with clients from Hong Kong so give them a call!

East meets West
Saturday, January 9th, 2010

The old world elegance of Spring Moon at the Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong turned out to be the perfect setting for this intimate signing ceremony held in November 2009. As it was a busy time in this couple’s lives, the wedding was almost entirely planned by email and quick phone calls in just under four weeks.

We were entrusted by the couple with all of the details which included all the worldwide travel arrangements for his family and friends, the ‘East meets West’ floral centerpieces, vendors sourcing, a fresh wedding cake and all the ceremony arrangements. Here are some photos!

A Greek Wedding
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

The very exclusive Shek O Golf Club in Hong Kong was utterly transformed into a romantic venue for this Greek wedding held in late November 2009. Caroline did a beautiful job with the décor from start to finish. We also worked on their wedding invitations & stationery, scheduling, vendors sourcing, transportation as well as being there on the day to ensure that everything went as planned.

Following the traditional ceremony officiated by a pair of Greek priests and the champagne cocktail reception, guests moved into the main building and lawn for the dinner and festivities with touching speeches, a delicious barbeque and lots of wild Greek dancing!

Simply Stunning!
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

We were asked at the last minute to step in and handle the ‘On the Day’ & Production duties for this lovely couple just weeks before their big day. They had arranged everything themselves beautifully – from the tasteful flowers by Rococo Flowers to hiring all their vendors such as Johnny Productions (for Photography) and outlining their schedule but felt they needed some professional guidance for the final ‘push’. We also added a few more layers to their wedding day by draping the Main Lounge at the (members only) Hong Kong Country Club in swathes of silky fabric and adding some soft lighting.

They simply wanted to hand their duties to someone else, relax and enjoy their day with their friends and family and they did! From the traditional Chinese Tea ceremony in the morning followed by their outdoor ceremony on a warm December afternoon, every detail was executed according to their wishes. The party continued with an evening Chinese banquet and a live band on the terrace.

Tokyo
Monday, November 30th, 2009

Just got back from a week in Tokyo where together with Caroline (who put her fluent Japanese to good use!) we planned and executed a ‘Hong Kong’ style wedding at Grand Hyatt Tokyo for 160 guests all of whom traveled from Hong Kong for this spectacular 3-day event. The bride and groom spent many hours on their custom designed wedding invitation, printed on seeded paper that the guests could plant afterwards. They spent many more hours getting the details just right for this ‘eco-friendly’ green wedding.

The celebrations kicked off with a welcome dinner at the historic and 300 year old Tofu-ya Ukai restaurant at the base of Tokyo Tower. Sue Kessler from the prestigious Christian Oth studio in New York was on hand to capture all the revelry. It was her first time in Asia so you can imagine what fun it was for her to be in Tokyo!

The cultural differences definitely posed a challenge (thank god for Caroline!) but overall the wedding went off without a hitch. The hand delivery of 160 individual and named welcome bags to 15 hotels across Tokyo did take the better part of a day though!

All in all, the Japanese are meticulous in their planning and no detail was overlooked. It was a very auspicious date to get married both in the Japanese and Chinese lunar calendars and there were six weddings taking place on the very same day at Grand Hyatt Tokyo. No wonder the hotel had everything running like clockwork, with absolutely no allowances for delays! The festivities continued with an after-party at  Mado Lounge, on the 52/F of the Mori Tower with spectacular Tokyo city views.
