From Details Darling… Evelyn and Yen’s wedding day was a magical and enchanting celebration of their love and passion for travel. The beautiful garden setting at Nestldown was like a fairy tale, with lush greenery and stunning natural beauty. The couple’s love for travel was evident in every detail of the day, from the charming vintage suitcase used as a card box to the luggage tag escort cards that took guests to their table destinations. Early on in their relationship, Evelyn and Yen had bonded over their experience in Singapore; Evelyn had lived there for a year in the past, and Yen had grown up there.
Through their five-year relationship they have traveled to London, Mexico City, Madrid, Dubrovnik, and many other cities around the world. It was only fitting that they got engaged in Paris. Each table was named after one of these special places that Evelyn and Yen had traveled to together, and was adorned with a vintage postcard of the city and an explanation of why that city is significant to the couple. The postcards were not only beautiful to look at, but also held special meaning for the couple, as they represented the adventures and experiences they had shared. The personal touches on the wedding day were truly breathtaking.
Evelyn and Yen wrote heartfelt notes for each and every guest, expressing their gratitude and love. The notes were wrapped around the menus at each place setting, adding a personal touch to the reception. Additionally, fun fact napkins added an element of surprise and entertainment, making the day even more memorable for guests. The highlight of cocktail hour was the vintage telephone guest book. After The Tone provided a beautiful old-fashioned telephone for guests to leave messages for the couple. The sound of laughter and love filled the air as guests called to leave their well wishes and congratulations.
Beautiful blue and white vintage plates added a romantic and elegant touch to the reception, tying together all of the blue accents throughout the day. Every detail of Evelyn and Yen’s wedding was carefully planned and thoughtfully executed, making it a truly unforgettable and magical celebration of their love. As dancing kicked off, the guests surprised Evelyn and Yen with a high-energy choreographed flash mob. Then, the live band filled the air with beautiful music bringing the dance floor to life. Guests danced and sang along to their favorite songs, contributing to the magical atmosphere.
