Theme: An Italian Twist – To Rome with Love
Photography: Patrick Low
Venue: Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur
In the heart of Italy, Edmund and Ivory’s marriage journey began with a breathtaking proposal atop Palatine Hill, overlooking the eternal city of Rome. Bringing that cherished memory into their celebration, their wedding unfolded in hues of Champagne whites, wine reds, and shimmering golds — a testament to the elegance and sophistication of Italian culture’s rich tapestry, rooted in the place where their promise of forever was made amidst the splendour of Italian architecture and the deep allure of crimson berries, symbolizing love’s enduring passion.
Their memory inspired their wedding celebration, held at Hotel Istana KL adorned with flowing champagne organza drapes and grand posters that echoed the elegance of Italian architecture. Much like the detailed facades of Italian buildings adorned with intricate carvings and ornate designs, the ice sculpture symbolizes the couple’s unique narrative and the beauty of their union amidst the splendour of Italy’s cultural heritage.
Like a tale of serendipity—their story started in the corridors of the same high school but took years to converge. Despite passing like ships in the night during their teenage years, fate had more in store for them. They dated briefly, and though the timing was not quite right, they remained connected, and their friendship evolved and deepened over time. Two hearts, once ships passing in the night, rekindled their connection after a chance event, guided by fate’s gentle hand. Their journey blossomed into a tale marked by mutual admiration and shared dreams. The famous Janet Lee with her four-piece band, filled the air with soulful tunes, adding a melodic backdrop to their timeless love story.
This beautiful journey was reflected in their wedding décor, where the venue was adorned with shimmering fairylights and hanging chandeliers on a grand stage built and decorated with Roman-style pillars. These lights symbolized the stars that had guided their paths back to each other, creating an enchanting atmosphere that mirrored the magical way their love story unfolded. The fairy lights, twinkling softly above, echoed their journey—illuminating the night and casting a glow on a celebration of a love that had finally found its perfect timing.

Ivory expressed, ‘Even though my wedding was more than a decade ago, it remains crystal clear in my mind. Evan and her team made it spectacular, with every detail perfectly executed and everything working like clockwork, which is rare for a Chinese wedding. From the Italian-themed décor to her unmatched attention to detail, there is really nothing that she cannot deliver. Evan has truly elevated wedding planning to a higher level.
