Inspiration for a creative project is a funny thing. They come in many shapes and forms, they can be instantaneous, developed, or spontaneous. Sometimes your “Ah ha!” moment can be right in front of you. For our couple’s Kuala Lumpur wedding reception they found theirs in Sze’s evening gown!
Let’s check out their wedding event captured expertly by Jenny Sun Photography.
Our bride, Sze, is ravishing in a custom-made gown in red and gold.
“We had a modern ceremony in Melbourne, in blush and grey tones,” says Sze, “so for our Malaysia ceremony we went with a traditional one, as a sign of respect to our parents and to our family roots.” This led to our bride’s choice for an Oriental red evening gown, embroidered with gold threading, and became the inspiration for their wedding colours.
Fresh, luscious, gorgeous blooms for the big day.
Sze and Pei Yee found us on the Internet and contacted us after seeing our work that have been posted online. “Seeing all the grand decor featured, we were initially a little nervous about busting our budget,” shares Sze. “Lily, who answered, eased our qualms and taught us how we could work around our budget. Even before our call ended, we knew that Wishing Tree was going to be our choice and we booked them right away.”
She added, “We only met Lily several months later when we were back in Malaysia, and it proved to be our best choice for the wedding.” Thank you so much Sze and Pei Yee for placing your faith in us!
The wishing tree’s graceful presence set a lovely atmosphere in the foyer.
The wedding decor was a collaboration between Wishing Tree and our couple. “Lily suggested various textures of flowers and different blends of reds to create a lush effect on gold candelabras, which we instantly agreed to,” Sze explains. “Most decisions in terms of flowers were left in Lily’s capable hands. Among the few things we specified included the “hei chi”, otherwise known as the Double Happiness sign, on our photobooth background, and large, red Chinese lanterns to create an Oriental atmosphere for the wedding.”
The Chinese lanterns requested by our couple, light the way to the wedding venue.
Custom-made “PS” sign and custom-made photobooth backdrop for our couple.
As requested, we created for our couple a photobooth background decorated with the Double Happiness sign. We used a neutral colour for this as the “PS” signage and oversized, handmade paper flowers were already in red. They were one Sze and Pei Yee’s favourite parts of their wedding decor!

We want to thank Sze and Pei Yee for being so wonderful to work with, and especially for sharing their big day with us and our readers on this blog. We wish you all the best on your life journey together!
“It was an absolutely pleasant journey working with Wishing Tree, where Lily was not just a floral designer but doubled as our wedding stylist who was creative and fresh in her styling. Paired with Lily’s capable and well-coordinated team, this made the decor side of the wedding planning less stressful. We would recommend Wishing Tree to any of our friends without any hesitation as they can cater to any couple, whether those on smaller budgets or those who want a large-scale wedding, and make them equally impressive.” – Sze and Pei Yee
