Biyi & Gerald

The couple celebrated their big day with inspiration taken from Halloween! 

“I initially felt lukewarm about the wedding prep, as weddings are usually sweet and romantic affairs. But when Gerald suggested that we could hold a huge Halloween party for our actual day, I got very excited about it as Halloween is my favourite special occasion," shares Biyi.

"Before we met with Harijanto Setiawan of Boenga Flowers & Designs, I only knew I wanted the colours to include blush and champagne, and that roses and hydrangeas had to be part of the flower arrangements.

Inspired by my ballet background and our love story, [Harijanto] suggested a whimsical fairy-tale concept, which I totally loved," shares actress Cheryl Wee.

"We always knew we wanted something fun and interesting for our wedding. One day, Jiahui casually suggested using a bridal sedan chair as our mode of transport, as opposed to a bridal car. This idea was placed on the back-burner until the drama, Story of Yanxi Palace came about," says Jolene.

Jessica & Yang Kang

16/22

"For our wedding theme, we decided on an Alice In Wonderland theme for the banquet as we felt that the story – entering a new and unknown world with lots of unexpected scenarios and challenges – kind of reflected what married life would be like, shares Jessica, a former Miss Singapore and model.

“Yang Kang and I came up with the ideas, bought the decorations and brought them back to Singapore from Hong Kong, where we currently live.

My close friends and bridesmaids helped us set them up," she adds.
