Diana & Alex

Budapest, Hungary

When sweet Diana asked me to help create a look that blended her Thai and Chinese heritage with the beauty and history of Budapest, I was elated! Culture, history and setting never fail to inspire! Because Diana is a lover of Pandas, Alex proposed at a Panda sanctuary. As a result, Pandas became a theme in the wedding, even appearing in the couples custom Chinoiserie pattern used in the invitation folio. As a nod to her Fathers heritage and Alex’s heritage, Diana custom designed a monogram to resemble Chinese graphic patterns.  The monogram was used as a band around the invitations, as well as being made into metal candle holders on the tables, on drink stirrers and on cocktail napkins.
