Inspiration

We wanted to celebrate both of our cultures and heritage, whilst keeping things small and intimate. All the red colours were for luck, and I wore some of my grandmas jade jewellery so felt like I had a piece of her with me on the day [and her red umbrella], Nairn wore his family dress tartan and was even able to have a dried thistle in his boutonniere.

It was really nice to have some quiet time the morning of the wedding where we got to slow down and take in the moment over a room service breakfast and just enjoy each other's company. Family can be interesting with their opinions on just about everything to do with your wedding plans. we suggest setting boundaries and expectations early if you can.

In March 2020 it became clear that dress shopping for my Cheongsam/Qipao was not going to be what I envisioned. I found East Meets Dress who were [are] fabulous and were able to ship me my cheongsam [which is the most comfortable one I've ever worn!], they were so helpful during the measurement process. All of our suppliers were very helpful and extremely understanding during a very unpredictable planning process. In Particular, Rachel from September Pictures really made us feel really relaxed and helped make our day extra special.
