Let them eat cake!

michele — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:25:38 +0000

There’s something heart-warming about a beautiful edible wedding cake, even better if it tastes as delicious as it looks. Sadly, that’s not often the case! If you have your heart set on a fresh cake, make it one to remember.

We love Phoebe’s Cakes for their elegant simplicity and consistency and Sift for their delectable cupcakes (we hear their wedding cakes are just as good!) From the latest magazine issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, here are four original wedding cakes to inspire you to create your very own ‘signature’ cake!

Anne Barge Trunk Show

Although we are wedding planners and not wedding gown retailers, we are always on the lookout for our brides. Our good friends at Central Weddings are holding an ‘Anne Barge’ trunk show on September 10th and 11th with a special appearance by the designer herself. Not to be missed if you haven’t yet found your dream gown!

Call Central Weddings at +852 2869 8666 to book your seat!

The New Kid on the Block..

We recently met up with Lucia Shum, the newly appointed Director of Catering and Events at the yet-to-be opened Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong. Located at ICC, the Ritz-Carlton makes a spectacular return as the world’s tallest hotel, slated to open around March 2011. Lucia tells us that the ballroom is already a popular choice amongst wedding couples. With a 7,580 sq ft Grand Ballroom (that can be divided into two smaller ballrooms) easily accommodating 40+ tables and the infamous Ritz-Carlton service, its not surprising that couples are willing to take a leap of faith and book it sight unseen. This could turn out to be one of the hottest wedding venues in 2011!

For reservations or enquiries, please contact the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Catering & Events Department at (852) 3760 – 9019.

A wedding is a time of great celebration, and what better to celebrate with than Dom Perignon?

We are pleased to announce the arrival of the Dom Perignon Wedding Box. This luxurious gift box embodies not only the elegance of Dom Pérignon, but also the memorable atmosphere created by opening the bottle for a celebration. The Wedding Box contains twelve bottles of Dom Perignon Vintage 2000 along with a personalized thirteenth bottle in a silver gift box featuring a unique silver label with the bride and groom’s names and the date of the wedding. Truly a unique gift for an unforgettable celebration.

The Dom Perignon Wedding Box is available in Hong Kong through The Wedding Company, reserve yours by calling 2869 4222.

Christmas!

It may be a bit early to start thinking of Christmas for some but for the super organized, here’s a special offer from Elum Designs on their luxurious holiday cards. All their Christmas cards can be viewed on their website www.elumdesigns.com and orders placed at The Wedding Company.

Napa Valley

michele — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 02:02:32 +0000

We returned earlier this summer to the Auberge de Soleil, one of the most romantic spots in the Napa Valley and the perfect honeymoon escape (or a wedding even!). Voted one of the world’s best in this month’s Travel & Leisure magazine, this luxury hideaway has a world-class restaurant and 7,000 sq ft spa, is easily accessible to the many wineries and top restaurants in the area and for those (like me!) who simply need rest, a deeply restorative experience.

A Day in the Life of a Grand Hyatt Wedding

michele — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 02:02:13 +0000

We have been hard at work organizing the upcoming wedding fair at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong to be held on Saturday 28th August and Sunday 29th August from 12 pm to 6 pm. Featuring 20 of the top wedding vendors in Hong Kong, this Fair will be more intimate and interactive than in previous years. Couples can have their engagement photographs taken by top photographers, watch a ‘live’ wedding ceremony (performed by models every hour!), listen to live music and indulge in Moet & Chandon champagne and fine canapes.

Tickets available at the door for $60/person or $100/couple.

Engage all the senses

michele — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:21:43 +0000

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.

michele — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:29:44 +0000

2011 Wedding Dates

michele — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 02:42:17 +0000

In Hong Kong, finding an auspicious date to get married is a ‘must’ if you or your family are at all traditional! Usually, even numbered months and dates are preferred and lunar month of March (Ching Ming Festival), lunar month of July (Ghost month) & the lunar month of September (Chung Yeung Festival) are generally not considered ‘lucky’ dates for weddings.

In response to a request, here is a highly informative link for choosing an auspicious date in 2011, the year of the rabbit. Bear in mind, these are general dates, you should take into account your birth dates and times with a fung shui master to see which date suits you best. This list was taken from www.bestgiftsforweddings.com for your reference.
