Wendy and Matt’s Multicultural Wedding
When Wendy and Matthew reached out the Fierce Productions team, we asked what their vision was for their wedding:
“We want our wedding to really represent what people know and remember of Matt and I as a couple…and to create a wedding that showcases Chinese culture with design and activities”
With that in mind, they threw the ultimate multicultural wedding. We combined aspects of a traditional American wedding with touches of Chinese culture. For decor, Wendy and Matt strayed away from traditional wedding florals and created a colorful Chinese centered oasis for their guests. This was accomplished with the help of designer Eleanor Kahn who created beautiful paper lotus flowers, floating candles, and 3D printed origami animals. She also designed the ceremony decor which featured a display of hand painted parasols that glowed as the skylight shined through them.
Throughout the wedding weekend their were nods to their playful relationship through fun poses during photos, a playing card guest book, bubble tea, a choreographed dance, and an EDM dance set at the end of the night. They also highlighted Chinese culture with traditional Chinese door games, a bijou toast and personalized chopsticks on every place setting.
WHAT WAS FIERCE ABOUT THIS WEDDING:
The ceremony boasted a display of hand painted parasols that glowed as the skylight shined through them. They then remained through the reception where they became the perfect dance floor decoration.
Instead of table numbers, each table represented an animal from the Chinese zodiac calendar. Each table had 3D printed origami versions of each animal for guests to find.
Instead of a classic cake dessert, there was a boba tea bar for guests to sip from.
Wendy surprised Matthew with a Bridal party dance to Worth It by Fifth Harmony.
They had an epic choreographed dance to La La Land, with many epic lifts and dips!
