By dot@mintsPublished: June 2nd, 2009Posted in: Featured, Featured Vendors I am so excited to do this post today as it is really my pleasure to write about my friend and colleague Gloria Wong of Gloria Wong Design! so where do I start?!
When we first met last year, I thought she looked familiar, but with my small brain and limited memory, I couldn’t pinpoint where I saw her face. =P and it took me about a month to figure out she was the beautiful bride whose wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty and The Knot. Last year, Gloria and Mints worked on 2 weddings together and it was so much fun working. Her attention to details and sense of style are what you need to have a gorgeous wedding. Why? Gloria is obsessive with colors and designs and boy I am not kidding here. Let me give you some examples. With her extensive fashion design background, Gloria came in well prepared with the mood boards and she usually spent hours scouting around to find the perfect items for her clients. For instance, we were working on a butterfly theme wedding, instead of buying what’s on the market, Gloria went extra miles and spray painted the butterflies to blushing pink color matching the invitation and the rest of the decor. That’s impressive.
But most importantly is her flawless execution and yes, this is really the key to having your dream a reality. When planning our weddings, many of us probably would go to every single wedding blogs and sites and clip/ save a ton of pictures. I am guilty of that as well! I have a huge image bank. The problem i s we end up with so many ideas we want to used for our weddings and most of the things don’t match or basically too much too many. What Gloria really good at (beside her tasteful designs) is to filter and sort through ideas and help the couple figuring out a unique style, ensuring everything from a tiny place card to the lighting of the room compliment each other to enhance the wedding theme and the couple’s personalities. To make sure everything comes out perfect, she partners with the best vendors in each category, such as Nancy Liu Chin Designs, Jean Marks Weddings, Good on Paper Design and of course Mints Design.
As the images show, her designs are just absolutely beautiful!
