After saying “I do,” the bride changed into a Schiaparelli haute couture dress designed by Daniel Roseberry with a wave-like asymmetrical hemline. The dress also became the inspiration for their organically sculpted cake design by Marble Cake Company, which was cut into as fireworks went off. As her final wedding day look, Ann changed into a Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture corset dress for the after-party. The bodice featured a dragon motif – a nod to the bride’s heritage – and the skirt was adorned with Swarovski crystals. “As I danced, it caught every light in the room and transformed the look into something luminous, celebratory, and alive,” she recalls.
The following day, Ann wore a custom dress from the Greek brand Di Petsa for their celebration at the beach. The designer is known for creating “wet dresses, where the fabric clings to the body as if it just emerged from water. “There was something poetic about it, celebrating love in a place defined by water, sun, and freedom while wearing a piece that captured that exact feeling in fabric form,” Ann shares. A final Chanel moment in swimwear form topped off her wedding wardrobe.
Brandon worked with Goldberg’s team to curate all his looks. “Everything was carefully coordinated to complement each of my outfits,” shares Ann. “He wore a combination of custom Zegna, custom Tom Ford, Brunello Cucinelli, and Saint Laurent.” He also wore a custom Adrian Gan look for the tea ceremony, adorned with dragon embroidery.
While the wedding day in Greece began with rain, there was a light drizzle as Ann made her walk down the aisle surrounded by white florals as the main theme of Howl’s Moving Castle played. “For most people, that might feel worrying, but in Chinese culture rain symbolises blessing, luck, and wealth, so it felt meaningful,” she says. “The moment I saw Brandon waiting with our closest friends and family, I felt completely calm. It quickly turned into excitement and love. It felt like finally living a moment I had imagined for a long time.” The proceedings were officiated by Brandon’s godmother, who “spoke beautifully,” shares Ann. Once the ceremony ended, so did the rain. “There was a rainbow in the sky, which felt very special,” says the bride.
The day continued with cocktail hour in the Amanzoe grounds, followed by a dinner at a long reception table adorned with dove and lily motifs. “My dad gave a very emotional speech that left many people in tears, including me,” shares the bride. “In Asian culture, love is often expressed through action rather than words, so hearing him speak so openly felt very moving.” The newlyweds also toasted their guests to thank them for travelling so far for their celebration. The reception transitioned over to the dancefloor as ALR Music’s band took the stage. “ALR created an incredible atmosphere. Even though it was intimate, it felt full of energy and joy,” says Ann. The night continued at Amanzoe’s library, which was transformed into a nightclub for the party to continue into the morning.
Reflecting on both celebrations, the bride says: “This wedding was the perfect celebration of Brandon and my love, but it also reminded me how deeply grateful I am for the people in our lives. It made me realise that what makes life meaningful is love, friendship and shared memories. I feel very lucky to have had the chance to celebrate all of that together in one place.”
