Read MoreThe couple had a beautiful blend of their Asian cultures incorporated into their wedding. There were Filipino wedding traditions in the ceremony, and tons of Chinese symbolism in the ceremony decor—one being the giant Chinese symbol for “double happiness”; a symbol for extra joy and happiness for newly weds.

They really loved light pink pastel colors with hints of greens, but when we started discussing how their wedding could help “tell their story,” the idea of, Sakura, or cherry blossoms—a staple flower in Japan—came into play. Cherry blossoms were hung around the venue, sewn into linens and tablecloths, and even incorporated into the desserts.
