Nestled among the lush gardens and towering trees of Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, Xinyi and Zheyuan's wedding was a celebration of love, imagination, and the magic of the night sky.
Inspired by their fascination with the stars, the design brought a celestial world to life through dreamy shades of blue, soft pastels, and delicate touches of gold. From constellation-inspired stationery and a starry seating chart to whimsical floral arrangements and thoughtfully designed welcome details, the celestial theme was woven throughout the celebration.
The couple also shared a love for Harry Potter, inspiring playful touches of wizarding-world magic within their ceremony. These personal elements added a sense of wonder to an already enchanting setting, making the day feel unmistakably their own.
As the celebration moved into the reception, richly layered blue linens, colorful garden florals, and shimmering celestial accents created a beautiful contrast against the natural surroundings. Every detail reflected a thoughtful balance of romance, fantasy, and contemporary elegance.
A celebration where the beauty of the stars met the magic of a love story entirely their own.
