About nancyliuchin

A few years back I worked with this lovely couple, Jennifer and Alfred, on their Chinese-American wedding. I've never forgotten how adorable and sweet the wedding details were including the mini bamboo streamer favors to the lantern style table menus to the sweet pink kissing ball for the flower girl.

This wasn't one of those over the top weddings. This was a wedding centered around family values, traditional Chinese elements and the proverbial Chinese Wedding Banquet.

The bride and groom were very sensible and Mrs. Lee, the bride's mother, had a lot to say about the direction, floral design and Chinese concepts. I remember Jennifer's mother coming to see my work several times to make sure that I put together the right combination of flowers and that I wasn't using flowers that the Chinese associated with ya' know - death.

In Chinese culture, bright, vivid colors are very important symbols. Though the bride didn't want to do the traditional Chinese red, it was still equally important to make the pink hues as reddish as possible. The result was this beautiful wedding the blended traditional elements with modern styling.
