From the bride… I love nature and art of Nasher Sculpture Center, and always wanted to have an intimate outdoor wedding surrounded by both of the elements. Nasher offers timeless and whimsical feelings I had always wanted, luscious greeneries, swaying willow trees, bubbling fountains, and the works of art by modern masters, which makes our wedding more special. Both the ceremony and reception spots have meaningful artistic concepts. The ceremony is in front of a sculpture called Squares and Two Circles. It is about the mutual relationships of the squares and circles. And the reception is in front of a sculpture piece called Eviva Amore, which means long live love.

We try to collaborate fairy and whimsical feelings with a modern and contemporary touch in my wedding designs and decorations. The sculptures from the museum definitely play a big part in our design. We incorporated geometric shapes and elements. One highlight is the DIY seating charts using geometric building blocks. And the wedding cakes and other small details also share the same concept.

Henry and I have very different personalities, he loves driving, and I am a terrible driver. He is very quiet, and I talk a lot. He is very spontaneous, and I like to plan ahead. However, together we complete each other. We can view and experience the world from different angles through each other. Fun fact: Thanksgiving 2019, we went to Maui Hawaii to attend my friend’s wedding and tour the island. We drove on one of the scenic highway called Road to Hana, which is also known as “Divorce Highway”. The road is really sketchy with sharp curves and narrow roads and therefore a super stressful long drive. We joked that if we did not break up after the trip, we would get married. And here we are. I was worried about the inclement weather since both the ceremony and reception are outdoor. May is one of the rainier months in Dallas. I kept checking the weather forecast and prayed for good weather. It turned out to be a sunny day, and the hottest day of the month. One thing I learned from wedding planning is to relax and think less about the details. Everything will turn out perfect on your big day.
