Joyce

What else do you need to have if you are already getting married at a 400 year old castle in Scotland? That is why Joyce asked for something simple and timeless. Black text on Pearl White stock. No fuss, not over the top. The simplicity of the design allowed the luxurious stock to take center stage.  




Dont you just love the sneak peak of the castle on the top?

Oh, Julie!

This invitation, in my opinion, was perfect for a wedding uniting two young beautiful professionals at the Legendary Park Plaza. It has some old school glam and some new school fun.


Julie wanted a hollywood movie ticket-esque feel with a subtle but statement background.

 
What else screams FUN WEDDING than EAT (delicious food), DRINK (lots of alcohol) and DANCE (put your hands in the air)?

Chic and bold

I am not a fan of seeing those cheesy red envelopes meant for Chinese New Years at weddings... They usually have random patterns on them, festive, yes, stylish, NO. When I worked on an invitation project that had a double luck design, I thought to myself: I think I can make a really chic money envelope with it". Here I am, looking at this elegantly dressed hand crafted red envelope. It has everything an Asian wedding need: Red, Double luck mofit, and sized just right to accommodate some cash or a check :) 



The envelope is made with heavy cardstock in a rich deep red, then embellished with a letterpressed Double luck motif.




I think newly weds would be very happy to open envelopes like this! I know I would!

Sweet Beth

Beth was probably the most soft spoken bride I have ever worked with, she chose a shade of green that totally showed how soft and girly she is.







A typography style design with minimal embellishment was modern and understated, perfect for the low-key couple.
  


To add a touch of pop color and youth, Beth asked to pair the breezy green with whimsical purple.

Carolyn

I was thrilled when Carolyn asked me to design her Asian themed wedding. Carolyn and her fiance, Eric, are one of those stunning couples, they are beautiful, young, fun and just so in love. They turn heads when they are together, I know I couldnt keep my eyes off of them :)


Since Eric is Chinese, Carolyn wanted to incorporate that into their wedding. She wanted something chic, modern yet very Asian. What can be more Asian than the red and gold color combo and the Chinese character,  "Xi" (double luck)?

I love the bright red and the clean white, super chic and clean.

The irregular registry card is unexpected, totally awesome.

Australia Bound!

I love this pair of love birdies! Not only they have the chubby look that I always try to achieve. the bride has a different head accessory than a flower!









The head piece picture the bride had shown me had intricate pearl and crystal pattern, I was very happy that I was able to recreate the pattern with silver paint and pearl/crystal embellishment :)

How wonderful to be recognized for my work and being featured on EAD! Belinda and Jim is a lovely couple that I felt instant connection with, I am very honored to be part of their special day. I am glad that the day turned out just the way the bride had envisioned.  

Real Weddings: Belinda + Jim

Belinda and Jim’s wedding is not only about as sophisticated and elegant as it gets, but it’s got an utterly fantastic pop of bold color throughout too! Bridesmaids in bright pink BCBG dresses, vibrant pink and red florals dripping with crystals by City of Commerce Flower, and glittering pink favors at each place setting, all set against their stunning venue Athenaeum at Caltech. The venue by itself is amazing, but then add in all these incredible details? I’m 100% smitten. Oh and add in the perfection that is Belinda’s Valentino heels? Make that 110%. Bravo to the whole team responsible for this gorgeous wedding and to Marvin Tsai for the beautiful photos!
