Our Story Bee Hong & Evan September 10, 2011 WEDDING RECEPTION AT Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver PHOTOGRAPHED BY Stephanie Koo Photography WRITTEN BY Lauren Kramer Bee Hong and Evan celebrated their East-meets-West wedding at Vancouver's luxurious Shangri-La Hotel with a dinner reception for 140 guests in the Conway Room and on the terrace. The couple loved the elegant wood and glass of the ballroom, which opens out onto the spectacular outdoor terrace where they placed a long table decorated in vibrant orange, red and gold. Bee Hong recruited Jeanette Kornelson of Delovely Creative 36 to help execute her vision for the décor, using drapery and Vietnamese lanterns. Inside the Conway Room, the colour scheme shifted to classic black with gold accents, and round tables decorated with tempting cake centrepieces and simple vases of tiny blooms. Thanks to an integrated sound system, guests were able to enjoy the speeches and music throughout the evening, whether they were seated indoors or on the terrace.
