Vivienne Liu and Kai Yang's selected a tranquil oceanfront setting as the perfect backdrop for their elegant and thoughtfully curated wedding day, featuring a soft color palette of white and blush. The morning of their wedding day began with a nod to their heritage. Vivienne and Kai dressed in traditional Chinese attire, with Vivienne stunning in a beautiful Qipao and Kai in a sharp white tuxedo. This fusion of Eastern and Western cultures set the tone for the day—a harmonious celebration of their backgrounds and their modern life together. As the ceremony unfolded under the expansive coastal sky, guests gathered to witness the couple exchange vows beneath a striking acrylic arch adorned with white and blush roses and delicate orchids. The transparent elements of the arch, chairs and signage created a subtle, mesmerizing sparkle inspired by Vivienne's love for crystals and all things that shimmer. The floral arrangements of white orchids and roses symbolized the timeless elegance that the couple hoped to capture on their special day.
Following the ceremony, a lively cocktail hour by the ocean allowed guests to enjoy the breathtaking views before entering the reception, where billowing white drapes adorned the ballroom, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The acrylic accents, used throughout the seating chart, table numbers and even the menu cards, carried the modern yet timeless theme from the ceremony into the reception space. The newlyweds' love for all things elegant was reflected in every detail, including the couple's stunning cake, which also featured acrylic detailing. One of the standout moments of the evening—for guests and the sweethearts alike—was the couple's first dance. Vivienne, who had changed into her sleek reception gown, and Kai danced under the glow of romantic lighting. The acrylic arch that had framed their ceremony now served as a backdrop to this magical moment, encapsulating the blend of tradition and modernity that defined the day.
