Summer Narrative Wedding Open House

Drawing inspiration from the joy of summer, this immersive Open House bloomed to life in a stunning explosion of colours. Couples were introduced to a wonderland of dreamy settings, ideal for hosting fairytale celebrations that blend classical elegance with contemporary flair. The summer theme was reflected through fashion trends, culinary creations and decor, including a magnificent carpet made entirely of flowers.

One of the highlights of the event was the wedding dress fashion show at the Crystal Bridge, a wedding venue that was imaginatively adorned in a palette of pastels. Designed to transport guests to a world of beauty and fantasy, this function space offers an ethereal backdrop for everlasting memories.

Guests were also invited to sample artisanal summer cocktails, crafted exclusively for weddings by the Hotel’s skillful mixologist, William Zhu. Blending premium spirits with tea infusions, each exquisite drink is elevated with seasonal accents like herbs, spices, leaves, seeds and nuts. Also on the menu is an array of signature mocktails, offering the traditionally rich flavour, aroma and mouthfeel of liquor.
