Introduction
Rosette Designs & Co. had the honor of bringing JM Tiongco and Abbie Caram’s wedding vision to life—an event inspired by the grandeur and glamour of Crazy Rich Asians. Held at Singapore’s iconic Gardens by the Bay, this $250,000 wedding combined opulent florals, cultural touches, and unforgettable moments. Here’s how we planned this stunning wedding and what couples can learn from it.
The Vision
The bride and groom, avid fans of Crazy Rich Asians, wanted their wedding to exude the same vibrant elegance as the film’s famous scenes. Drawing inspiration from the movie’s lush flowers and romantic ambiance, we worked closely with them for eight months, primarily through Zoom, to craft their dream wedding.
A Dream Wedding Realized
The couple’s vision was clear: a wedding that radiated elegance and luxury while celebrating love in its grandest form. Rosette Designs worked closely with JM and Abbie over eight months of intensive planning, aligning every detail to reflect the couple’s unique style and desires. Despite geographical distances and numerous Zoom calls, the seamless communication ensured that every aspect of the event was flawlessly executed.
The Challenges
- Weather Woes: Planning an outdoor wedding in Singapore’s unpredictable climate required backup plans, including coolers for guest comfort.
- Global Guests: With attendees flying in from the U.S., Australia, and the Philippines, coordinating logistics for a seamless experience was critical.
- Virtual Planning: Zoom meetings became the primary planning tool, showcasing the power of technology in modern wedding planning.
Key Elements of the Wedding
- Venue: The Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay provided the perfect backdrop, with its stunning architecture and Marina Bay Sands views.
- Decor: Vibrant florals in bold colors reflected the Crazy Rich Asians theme, complemented by candlelit tables and glowing Supertrees in the evening.
- Entertainment: Guests were treated to a lion dance, a jazz singer, and even a live painter, adding to the wedding’s unforgettable experience.
- Outfits: The bride wore a Vera Wang gown, while the groom donned a custom-made barong, blending elegance with cultural significance.
