This weekend we headed over to the beautiful foothill village of Sierra Madre to create a romantic wedding for this special couple. We were hired 5 months ago to plan out a wedding for May 28, 2022,. This was their auspicious date given to them to get married. In many Asian cultures, it’s common to receive a favorable wedding date rather than choosing an available date! With only 5 months to find a venue and get all the details in order, we had to get started right away.

THE COUPLE:

Michelle + Wesley

THE WEDDING:

Lavender Marketplace, Sierra Madre, CA

As the ‘unofficial Maid of Honor’, Christine and Michelle curated every details from the invitations design to the colors/textures of the napkins and linens. They even incorporated the bride’s favorite movie into the overall design of the place setting. The small star candies in the place settings are from Spirited Away!

Christine was aggressive about doing everything the couple wanted for their dream wedding in the short amount of time and was able to get it all done! We managed a tea ceremony in the morning and a brunch wedding/reception with 60 of the couples closest friends and family.

Next was a traditional Chinese banquet reception at a different location with 230 other guests to celebrate with. It was a long special day to remember for this couple with HMU starting at 2:45 AM and finishing off the celebrations till 11 PM. #goodtimes
