The Details
How they did it
1
Jinny wore a Vera Wang gown from Blush Bridal & Special Occasions in West Vancouver.
"I've always admired Wang's style and wanted to wear her design someday," she says. "This was
the first dress I tried on and I fell in love with it right away, particularly the soft, romantic skirt
and the way the crystal beading stands out."

Jeanette Kornelson of Delovely Creative used cymbidium orchids to decorate Jinny's bouquets
and boutonnieres, accenting them with tiny crystals and white flowers. The crystals represented Jinny's gown, while the white feathers tied in with the ostrich feathers that decorated
the hall. The fuchsia flowers matched Jinny's wedding colours of fuchsia and lime green.

Dessert at the wedding was tapas style, with lemon macaroons, chocolate truffle cups, crème
brûlée and cupcakes. "They offered more variety for our guests and a better presentation than a
traditional wedding cake," Jinny says.
"The inspiration for our wedding was a Chinese luxury brand called Shanghai Tang, which is
famous for using many vibrant colours, like the ones reflected in the groomsmen's jackets," says
Ray. His groomsmen wore jackets lined with a different colour, custom made by Ray's tailor in
Shanghai.

The table centrepieces consisted of green and fuchsia cymbidium orchids, equisetums and green
mums. A collaborative effort by Jinny, Ray, Delovely Creative and Donald Yim, the couple's
emcee, the centepieces were deliberately low, so that they would not block anyone's view.

Ray had his suit custom made by his tailor in Shanghai, choosing the fabric himself. "I love the
untraditional grey colour of the suit and the vibrant fuchsia of the Chinese-pattern lining,"
Jinny reflects. "Most importantly, I loved how Ray's face glowed when he found the excuse to
fly to Shanghai to have this suit made, and how he was able to execute his creative ideas from
scratch."
