The couple had a color palette of an elegant, dusty grey blue paired with creams and ivories for the ceremony. For the reception, they chose to add lavender and blush pink to the color palette to create a more colorful vibe.

The couple had been dreaming of their wedding and the details for a long time. They had visions of an elegant affair with their favorite people, with design elements of chinoiserie and subtle but notable notes of Disney as an homage to one of their favorite things! The couple was very clear on the details that they wanted; no expenses were spared in making the statements that were important to them.

The couple opted to celebrate with a fusion menu to celebrate their heritage and to satisfy the taste buds of their guests. Making sure that all guests felt taken care of regarding food and beverage was high on the list, including being welcomed with an ice sculpture and display of champagne right off the bat as a welcome gesture.

Florals and more florals were the bride’s desire! From the moment you step into the venue, your eye is immediately drawn to the grand staircase filled with florals – and the florals just keep going and going! Their key motif of romantic and dusty blue chinoiserie was the perfect complement to the romantic florals that adorned every space that guests experienced, to really set the mood. Everything was custom-designed and created for this couple – from the escort display to the chinoiserie layered menus and custom, tassel place cards.

The couple had not one but two wedding cakes! The reason for the two cakes was to celebrate the bride’s aunt and uncle’s wedding anniversary, in which they happened to share the same wedding date. The couple invited this aunt and uncle to cut the cake alongside them, and needless to say, the aunt and uncle were surprised and thrilled to partake in this way!

A special moment of the ceremony was when one of the bridesmaids sang a song that the bride walked down the aisle to, accompanied by the bride’s brother on piano. It was such an ethereal moment in the grand rotunda of City Hall.

The couple chose to have a beautifully custom-designed escort display of mini cast iron pans for guests to find their seats. This was a play on their last name, “pan,” and was a stunning display set against one of the signature chinoiserie patterns of their day.

Guests sat down to a beautiful tablescape with a custom chinoiserie layered menu for their evening. Custom, tasseled placecards were the perfect touch of whimsy to welcome guests to dinner.

To share their love for Disney, the couple commissioned special hidden Mickeys to be placed throughout the wedding in their printed items and florals for guests to find.
