Traditional Chinese wedding attire
The first look is a must! A highlight of our day. We were able to see each other and be in each other's presence before walking down the aisle, which calmed our nerves. Personally, we felt a sense of relief since our day was finally happening!

Advice
Unfortunately, we re-scheduled our wedding 3 times due to Covid, but THANKFULLY, each and every time all our suppliers were able to accommodate. As we decided to have a more intimate wedding than initially planned, we didn't have any bridesmaids or groomsmen! Try to research as much as possible and have a structure/plan for the key points of your day. Be realistic with yourself on the day and that you cannot spend a lot of time with every single guest. Try to enjoy it as much as possible. Don't sweat on the small details when planning. Also, having both a videographer and a photographer there is the best investment you can get for a lifetime of memories.
Chinese Wedding Attire
We only had a half-day wedding, but we still wanted to incorporate some elements of our culture into the day. Dressing up in traditional Chinese wedding attire, including a Chinese tea ceremony, and being able to share a little part of my culture with Peter is something I will treasure deeply. The colour palette was EXACTLY how we pictured it to be..it just screams autumn vibes! The overall styling was very minimal with a sweetheart table just for us two, which was perfect. I think our outfits had pops of the untraditional. Peter's lemon socks and paisley tie, and my not entirely all-white dress with a mocha underlay, just describes us perfectly - a little quirky.
From the Chinese wedding attire and tea ceremony, this wedding is the perfect example of integrating culture!
We asked all our friends at the end of the day what they thought of the wedding and the unanimous verdict was 'emotional'. A lot of love was in the room on our wedding day and it felt very intimate. We didn't think there would be so many sniffles during our vows, but that just goes to show we had all our favourite people in one place.
