Together with our friends in the industry, we put together a meaningful styled shoot based on the couple’s love story, celebrating their quirks and telling their story in the details of our different areas — the activity flow, the flowers, the gown details, the makeup and the cinematography. A huge thank you to M & C for sharing their little private moments with us and letting us journey alongside them!

There were two key objectives from a floral point of view:

(1) have a palette that complimented the cheongsam colours and design.

(2) pay homage to both Marilyn & Chris’ heritages and relationship through subtle elements.

For the palette, it was birthed from a combination of colours iconic to the German-Peranakan combination. From Marilyn’s Peranakan side, we took inspiration from the cactus and rose colours of the Peranakan Chinese teacup. From Chris’ German side, it was inspired by the Oktoberfest blue-white checkered flag and of course, pretzels.
