You know what they say about rain on your wedding day…it represents showers of blessing! Lucky for Rayner Lee and Genevieve Ong, the downpour only delayed their outdoor solemnisation at Alkaff Mansion by 10 minutes. All was bright and cheery again, and they lived happily ever after!
The couple chose the gorgeous venue for its pristine white façade and historical colonial architecture, complete with a neatly pruned garden, Parisian-inspired fountain and gazebo for solemnisations. They worked with Fleurlicious and Styled Story, and turned the venue into a vintage-esque set-up with rustic flowers, mahogany furniture, dark brown trunks, hardcover books and antique props for that old-world feel.
Their special day was captured by Tony Eng of Mood for Light Media Productions. "It was pleasant working with him as he's very easy going. We love his candid coverage!" enthuses the bride.
Genevieve walked down the aisle in an off-the-shoulder bustier gown with sheer back by Amanda Lee Weddings and marched-in to 'live' classical music while rose petals were tossed overhead. The couple became man and wife officiated by Justice of the Peace Sunny Low, and later hosted an elegant European dinner for 190 guests.
As the evening drew to a close, everyone moved out to the courtyard to enjoy the evening breeze and join the couple as they cut the wedding cake and made toasts. "I loved every detail of the wedding from the décor to the petal toss, the musicians and beautiful faces that came to celebrate this special day with us!"
