We had such a blast working with Gloria Wong from Gloria Wong Design, and her design always wow our imagination. Since Tony manages a seafood center, Gloria used water as the significant element for the wedding decoration. Water also is a sign of good fortune in Asian culture. One of my favorites was the wishing card fish pond. The pond was custom made for the couple. It was so nice and amusing, and the kids enjoyed watching the gold fish swimming happily in the water. All in all a wonderful day! Here are some other amazing vendors at the wedding: Photos by James Rubio Photography. White Chivari Chairs by Especially Yours. Lighting by Enchanced Lighting. Thank you so much Diep and Tony for having us being part of your special day!

Diep looked stunning in her red Vietnamese traditional dress, “Áo Dài”, during the tea ceremony.

Love the reception, it was sleek and modern. Be sure to scroll down to see the wishing card fish pond & the beautiful dessert table!

Their wedding was sweet & delicious, and the lavender + pink + yellow + white color palettes went perfectly well with the sunny Spring day.
