As specialists in Chinese-American wedding planning, we were so excited to help bring their dream day to life, creating a vibrant and elegant celebration that beautifully showcased their love and culture.


Tea Ceremony 

The couple began their special day with a traditional tea ceremony, a significant cultural ritual honoring their families. Held at their home, the ceremony involved serving tea to their elders as a gesture of respect and gratitude. This intimate moment set a meaningful tone for the day, connecting the couple to their heritage and loved ones.



Reception 

The celebrations continued at NBC Seafood Restaurant, where guests were treated to a vibrant and lively reception. The highlight of the evening was the lion dance, a traditional performance that brought energy and excitement to the event. 



Attire 

Frances wore a traditional red qipao, later changing into a classic white wedding dress. Desmond wore a timeless black tuxedo. Their outfits reflected a beautiful blend of their Chinese and American roots.



Decor 

The wedding decor featured a color palette of reds, pinks, and yellows, creating a lively and elegant atmosphere. Red floral centerpieces adorned each table, capturing guests' attention. Every detail reflected the couple’s cultural heritage.
