back to portfolio

Nestled beneath the redwoods of The Mountain Terrace, Naijia and Jingyu’s wedding was designed as an intimate expression of the things they love most—poetry, music, painting, and the story they had written together.

Inspired by their artistic sensibilities, we created a soft, organic setting in ivory, blush, sage, warm gold, and muted blue. Delicate garden florals, translucent details, natural textures, and painterly touches complemented the surrounding forest, allowing the beauty of the landscape to become part of the design.

Poetry became one of the most personal elements of the celebration. One of the couple’s favorite poems was handwritten onto fabric and suspended from a tree, transforming words meaningful to them into a quiet piece of art within the landscape.

Their story appeared again in a custom illustrated seating chart, thoughtfully created to trace the journey that had brought them to this day. Rather than simply directing guests to their seats, it invited them to discover pieces of the couple’s life together.

Every element felt like part of the same composition—a celebration where poetry could be seen, music could be felt, and their love story became a work of art.
