Put A Ring On It

Edward proposed with this exquisite emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. Needless to say, he got an instant yes.

 Navy & Gold

For their wedding banquet at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore in November 2016, the couple went for a Great Gatsby theme. To evoke the splendour of the 1920s, a navy and gold colour palette was used in the ballroom decor and was seen in everything from the stage backdrop to the table runners.

 Light As A Feather

To bring out the decadence of The Great Gatsby, large feather sprays were used in the table centrepieces, at bar counters and in stage decorations.

 Art Deco Touches

The wedding cake was a five-tiered confection by Little House of Dreams, one of the business arms of Dreams Establishment. It bore the colour contrasts and geometric and angular shapes unique to 1920s art deco designs. Draped with strings of lustrous “gold pearls” for that much more extravagance, it was crowned with a monogram of the couple’s name.

 The New Guest Book

They don’t call it the Jazz Age for nothing. Fittingly, guests penned their well wishes for the newlyweds on treasured old records.

 Harmonious Strings

As they sipped on cocktails and nibbled canapes during the pre-dinner reception, guests were entertained by a string trio, put together by the newlyweds’ friend.

Hey, Soul Sister

The bride’s sisters, Grace (far left) and Gigi (far right), together with the groom’s sister Johanna and two bridesmaids delivered an energetic hip-hop performance.

Local Talent

Vintage Charm

Getting into character for their own Great Gatsby story, Gloria wore a gold fully-sequinned evening gown from Renee L Collections matched with a feather headpiece, while Edward was all suave in a black bespoke tuxedo by Kevin Seah and slicked-back hair.

That’s The Spirit!

Just as American author F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel would be incomplete without liquor-fuelled backdrops, this grand party indulged guests in a bespoke cocktail bar on top of red and white wines and champagne. “We worked on the bespoke cocktail bar together with a vendor, Elite Bar Solutions, to design the lighted bar counter, taste and select our drink options, and even came up with names for the personalised bar menu,” shares Gloria.  

High Notes

Edward surprised the bride and guests with songs in English and Mandarin. “It was touching, memorable, surprising and heart-warming all at once,” says Gloria.

7 Bridesmaids For 7 “Brothers”

Keeping things cool and understated, bridesmaids donned navy dresses while groomsmen sported black suits.

Star-Studded Affair

Among the guests were veteran Chinese drama actors and actresses such as Pan Lingling and Li Nanxing.

Great Camaraderie

Putting aside his executive duties for the evening, Tan Soo Khoon belted out tunes in honour of the newlyweds. 

First Dance

The couple choreographed their first dance. Gloria shares, “We spent a couple of months learning from a ballroom dance teacher and rehearsing, in order to put up a good show for everyone.”
