Our favorite photographers from Jim Liaw Photography were also at the wedding venue - The Club At The Saujana - to record the most memorable day of Hannie and Jou Wen's lives. Our couple fell in love with the venue when Ning Liaw of JLP showed them the place, as well as the work of JLP photographers who happened to work on many of the weddings that we have been able to feature on our blog.
This is probably the first time in the history of our humble blog that we have pictures of our team setting up at a wedding venue. "Behind the scenes" photos are rarely attractive, but we have to say... well done, JLP, for some awesome "on the scene" shots! :)
It was flowers galore at The Club At The Saujana!!! As you can probably tell by now that the color theme for this wedding was purple. It is one of Hannie's favorite colors - and what a beautiful pairing with the lush, verdant greenery of the grounds at The Club. In addition to bountiful arrangements along the bridge comprising lilac roses, purple eustoma, dendrobiums and Taiwan ivy, strings of orchids strung up on the trees provided an awe-inspiring backdrop for the wedding.
The Club's tiered water feature added much texture to the landscape of this outdoor wedding. The candles and oversized candlesticks are part of The Club's decor and were perfectly incorporated into the wedding decor.
Cockle shells painted in purple adorn the reception table and are a tribute to Hannie's father who runs a cockle export business. What a sweet and lovely touch! Hannie is quite the arts and crafts bride; she also handmade the flowergirls' corsages using ribbons and cloth, as well as the guest registration book.
Hannie's bouquet is an elegant arrangement of white peonies, purple eustoma and silver leaf, wrapped in a deep magenta satin ribbon. The wedding cake by Joanne Fam, in white fondant and pale lilac accents, is just perfect for this colorful wedding.
We really love how Hannie has involved her parents in her wedding. Her beautiful lace gown - handmade by Hannie herself (wow!) - was designed with the help of her beloved mother, a retired tailor, who also assisted with the beading work. We were shocked - in a good way - that Hannie finished making her gown in just two weeks! On top of that, the lace used on Hannie's gown was the very same lace that her mother used in her own wedding gown many years ago. What a beautiful way to honor one's mother at a wedding...
There is so much to be said of this wonderful couple who have included their elders in the biggest day of their lives. We wish you all the best and many happy years of love and laughter, Hannie and Jou Wen!
