With the help and vision of their wedding planner Natasha, of The Peak Xperience, Michelle and Hon threw one of the prettiest, most stylish wedding receptions we've had the honor to be a part of for the year so far. All photos, of course, are courtesy of our favorite wedding photographers from Jim Liaw Photography - thank you so much!
Can you guess the theme that's going on here? Our bride wanted a black and fuchsia color theme that was understated yet feminine and sexy. This is Natasha's interpretation of "Chanel-inspired chic" that comes in a color palette of black, silver and fuchsia, with different shades of pink. Stationery for the evening was done in black flourish designs and the iconic Chanel quilt, as seen in the menu above. Place cards and table cards were also done in the theme colors with accents of fuchsia.
We love dessert bars at weddings, don't you? Michelle and Wye Hon had a fabulous dessert bar for the cocktail reception before dinner, aptly called 'Indulgence Bar' that was filled with their favorite snacks and candy. There were M&M's, Mars, cupcakes, marshmallows, lollipops...oh, sweet heaven!
Flowers for the evening were hydrangeas, roses and carnations in white and shades of pink. The centerpiece of the main table was customized with black Swarovski crystals arranged in a crisscross pattern to complement the theme as well as to symbolize Michelle and Wye Hon's initials.
Roses everywhere! On the stairs, on the stage, and on the wedding cake. Our couple's eight-tiered cake was definitely the tallest we had ever seen...yet it was simple, elegant and commanded quite a presence on stage. We love that the posies on the stairs and the stage were "double-duty arrangements", as we call them. Before dinner, the flowers were the centerpiece for each guest table in the ballroom. When the Chinese-style banquet commenced, the banquet staff brought the flowers up front to decorate the stairs and the stage for the cake-cutting ceremony and toasts later. We are a great believer of reusing so this was just wonderful!
Michelle and Hon - thank you so much for letting us be a part of your beautiful wedding. May the rest of your years together be filled with love, joy and laughter!
