East Meets West

Thao & Duy first came to us as they were impressed with our bamboo designs for Uyen, a year earlier. Being proud Asians, Duy & Thao wish to incorporate Eastern elements into their wedding while keeping it contemporary.

‍

Duy & Thao have quite the opposite personalities hence, they want different styles for the wedding. While our bride is a feminine lady & wants a soft romantic vibe, our groom requested a bold & strong elements to match with his wit & masculinity. And since our couple is a fan of the 3 reasons principal, here is my take on why this final design is the perfect combination for them both:

‍

1. 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: after 2 rounds of moodboards, we finally agreed on the combo of chroma key green - lilac purple - porcelain blue. Although the combos is not something completely new but as we decided to go heavily on the 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧, which is controversial, it added a uniquely bold note on the whole vibe while lilac & light blue kept things soft for our bride.

2. 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬: as draping has been dominated the whole industry for the past 2 seasons, we decided to opt for something different, 𝐏𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐑. Yes, that’s right! Hanging paper can create a seemingly similar yet contrasting effects to fabrics. Paper has more weight & concrete vibes to the installation.

3. 𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: when we first propose the 𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 paper installation, Thao & Duy was in doubt. They were afraid that it would block the view and too tense for the outdoor ceremony. However we insisted on having it since the installation is one of our key designs. And we’re grateful that Thao & Duy finally gave us a nod. Together with flowers arranged in block of colours, we created a contemporary set design that reflects both personalities & harmonies with the Tran-dynasty-architectural inspired design of the venue
