Tianyi wore her hair in a curled updo. For the reception, she traded her cathedral veil for a birdcage veil and added a peacock-feather hairpiece.
The two flower girls carried these playful signs down the ceremony aisle.
The simple yet stunning bouquets were a mix of peonies, roses, silver brunia and lamb's ears.
The couple wed in the estate's courtyard; a tree served as the altar backdrop.
While the bridesmaids wore lightweight cream dresses, the guys chose classic gray suits.
Peonies, ranunculus and orchids filled the vases. Other groupings included edible fruits and veggies.
The vibrant, patterned escort cards featured whimsical calligraphy.
Lanterns made out of lace and various fabric flowers hung over the cocktail hour.
With over 10 years of invitation design experience under her belt, Tianyi knew exactly what she wanted. The result? An illustrative storybook-style suite.
As tradition goes in Dan's family, cherry pie is served at important family events - the couple's wedding was no exception.
Dan's multicolored bout featured lamb's ears, orchids and bittersweet berries.
Floral Tabletop Decorations
Sage-green linens topped some of the tables, and café lights were strung overhead.

Instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed in on these pieces of fabric and pinned them on a ribbon that hung on the las row of ceremony chairs.
Lush bunches of veronica, dahlias, oncidium orchids, rose hips and kangaroo paws added texture to the tables, some of which were topped with lace runners.
