Mediterranean-inspired Wedding

ost of the weddings featured on this blog have been rather elaborate but today’s featured wedding is absolutely down-to-earth in rustic autumn colours and a touch of green. It’s the epitome of Mediterranean simplicity. All you need is a good venue with sun-drenched walls and a touch of creativity by infusing the warmth of a Tuscan-inspired countryside with simple enhancements. Say hello to these lovely images by Jenny Sun Photography for the wedding of Ian and May Yee. Can you believe this wedding was held right smack in the heart of Bangsar?

As a singer, songwriter and the theatre manager of KL PAC and Actor’s Studio, Ian Chow composed a song for May Yee and sang it during the dinner. Their wedding entourage, aptly called it the Happy Everything Production because “anything and everything goes.. so as long as everyone’s having fun”. The wedding entourage, all of whom are part of the Young KL Singers (YKLS), performed a medley of songs throughout the evening. For the wedding favours, Ian and May Yee gave away CDs containing their favourite love songs including self-composed songs by Ian. The CDs also doubled as seating indicators, beautifully designed by graphic designer, Joel Wong. A very intimate wedding with lots of singing, dancing and merriment.

From Natasha Khoo: The bride, May Yee is the most laid back bride I’ve ever met. She wanted the decor to be as simple as possible, with some flowers to enhance the existing interior of the room and not overkill the place. She gave us a free hand in the decor and her friends, Kenneth and Yeow made all the decisions on behalf! How cool is that. If only all brides are like that. At first, we weren’t sure if orchids would work because they are tropical flowers and we were aiming for a Mediterranean ambience. But to work within the budget, we took the risk and it certainly paid off because the outcome was just as stunning. Their friend, Joel designed all the stationery using a mix of printed and rubber stamped finishing for the paper mats, birds and owls cutouts. The wedding was so intimate and relaxed that it felt like a party instead of a wedding. Everyone was mingling around, walking from table to table, dancing and having fun!
