The couple set the date for June 22, 2024, and invited 135 guests to join them for a wedding inspired by 18th century French gardens. They chose a cream and green color palette and incorporated key elements of Taiwanese culture throughout the day’s décor. “I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, and my husband Alex has also spent extensive time in the country, so I knew I wanted to nod to my Asian roots,” the bride says. To help bring their vision to life, they tapped Leigh Heiserman of Lauryn Prattes Events as their planner, and she helped execute every stunning wedding-day detail, including two custom bar installations, embroidered napkins with the bride and groom's monogram, and linens inspired by a trip to the south of France.
