Shaun + Vivian at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

A white wedding never goes out of style, which is why it’s called “classic”. Shaun and Vivian went with the classic white wedding, gorgeously elegant with all-white furnishings and linens, but added sublime pastels and textures to create a wedding reception to remember. What a vision!

We have some photos of Shaun and Vivian’s beautiful evening to share with you, courtesy of the talented Louis Loo.


Congratulations, Shaun and Vivian!

Like many modern-day couples embarking on their wedding planning, Shaun and Vivian started their research online, and stumbled upon our website. After much browsing, “we were impressed with Wishing Tree’s arrangements and decor,” says Vivian. “We were confident that Wishing Tree would be able to deliver our requirements and do an excellent job, so we engaged their services without hesitation after the first meeting.” Thank you for putting your faith in us, guys!

A novel idea for Shaun and Vivian’s entrance – a runway platform!

Due to our weather and our culture of throwing rather large-scale wedding dinners, anywhere from 200 to 1,000 guests, a great majority of Malaysian wedding receptions are held in ballrooms or halls. The newlyweds (and in some instances, their entourage as well) make their way through the doors, down the aisle once more, and greet their well-wishers. If you’re seated along the aisle, you get a great view of the couple. Otherwise, you just get a glimpse of them between a sea of bobbing heads and cameras.

Shaun and Vivian did something a little different for their entrance – with a raised platform in the shape of a runway! What can we say other than we love it. The idea was functional, decorative, and simply glamourous.

The runway platform was one of Vivian’s favourite parts of her wedding decor, as well as the gorgeous flowers and candles that lined the runway from end to end.

The inspiration for Shaun and Vivian’s reception is just as unique as their idea for the runway platform. They love the aesthetic of Korean wedding photography, with the soft lighting, flowers, and modern romantic style.

Thank you Shaun and Vivian for entrusting us with your big day and sharing your story!

“We truly enjoyed working with Wishing Tree. Lily is very passionate about her profession and we felt her excitement from day one and right until our big day. Everything turned out perfectly and surpassed our expectations. Wishing Tree gave us a very memorable experience. We highly recommend Wishing Tree to those who can’t settle for second best.”

Ken + Jean at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

We have the beautiful wedding of Ken and Jean to share with you today. Congratulations to our lovely couple! Thank you for choosing us to play such a big part in the most important day of your life, and for sharing your story with our readers on our blog.

Now let’s get to the photographs, provided by the talented shutterbugs at Adam Ong Photography.


A shimmering evening in cream, pink and gold.

Our couple chose the ever-stunning Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur ballroom for their dinner reception venue. After browsing through “hundreds or maybe thousands” of pins on Pinterest, Jean was particularly attracted to the cream, pink and gold combinations, so we set about creating a classic and elegant atmosphere that would also complement the dramatic crystal lighting of the ballroom.


Ken and Jean, making their entrance as husband and wife.

Jean came across our work while researching real weddings, wedding blogs and photographers’ profiles. “I came across Wishing Tree’s work and really liked it,” says Jean, “I have a thing for flowers and all things pretty, and Wishing Tree’s style and taste caught my eye!”

Together with her wonderful planner, Jovita Lo, they were instrumental in creating the ambience for the evening by showing us helpful examples of what Jean liked. All the way down to the flowers. “I was definitely particular about the flowers and colours! Peonies and hydrangeas were on my must-have list.”

Not everyone has the time for or interest in DIY projects, but Ken and Jean did! Check out some of the things they did to add a bit of interest and personality into their wedding decor…


The photogenic entryway became a popular photo spot with a DIY project, inspired by a cafe. Ken and Jean made the “K+J” lightbox themselves, with a bit of help from a friend with the welding.


Incorporating feathers and sparkly gold to her wedding decor, the bride decorated wedding favours with feathers dipped in gold glitter.

Earlier in the planning process, Jean was also partial to a Great Gatsby theme for its feathers, sparkles and sequins, but realised they didn’t really represent their personality. She went with single feathers with sparkly gold tips instead.

Initially, the “K+J” lights were meant for the stage, but Jovita’s keen eye felt they should be moved to the entrance to suit the ambience. “It turned out a great decision as it served as a wonderful backdrop for photos with guests as it was conveniently located at the entrance,” shares Jean.

The bridal table’s centerpiece was one of Jean’s favourite.

We are so glad to have been able to create the ambience for your wedding, Ken and Jean! Thank you for your note, that reads something like this:

“Definitely a worry-free experience with Wishing Tree! We were very satisfied with their work and will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a decorator with an eye for beauty!” – Ken and Jean.


Andrew + Yunny at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur

We have another beautiful wedding to share! Today we have Andrew and Yunny, who tied the knot recently and held their reception at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

Many thanks to the talented Adam Ong for the beautiful photographs you will see here. Our couple’s wedding planner was our good friend Lane Ho, of My Wedding Planner.


Congratulations, Andrew and Yunny!

Our bride Yunny admits that she had no direction when she started planning her wedding. “Lane played a huge role in guiding me,” she says. “She helped to eliminate what I disliked, narrowed down what I liked, and it wasn’t until the end of our planning process that we figured what I wanted.”

It’s okay, Yunny! We’d like to assure our future brides that it is perfectly alright to feel like you don’t really know what you’re doing. This is why you have help in the form of experienced wedding planners and wedding decorators.


Yunny had a great idea for the space outside the ballroom!

Yunny may have started her wedding planning process without knowing what she wanted or didn’t want, but as she got deeper into it, ideas started flowing. This wall of baby’s breath in the photo above was our bride’s idea.. and it was stunning!


The perfect backdrop for a beautiful group photo of the bride and her ladies.

Our couple wanted something “simple, nice, and not too loud”, in soft pastel colours. We refrained from using too much white in the decor as well as white candles upon Yunny’s request for her father. The result: a plethora of pink, lilac and green.


The centerpiece, a garden of blooms.

Lots of beautiful, fresh flowers adorned the bridal table.


Delightful bunches of hydrangea, baby’s breath, tulips, orchids and lilies for the aisle.

There is something so peaceful and sweet about this colour palette. Together with the textures and layers, the floral decor for the aisle looked simply divine. Arranging the flowers in bunches, in an unstructured style, lends an air of warm invitation to whoever walks into the ballroom.


Andrew and Yunny make their entrance into the ballroom. This aisle was Yunny’s favourite part of the decor that evening.

Thank you once again, dear Andrew and Yunny, for choosing us to be a part of your big day and for sharing your beautiful wedding on our blog!

“Our wedding planner told us about Wishing Tree and highly recommended them. After our second meeting with Lily, I fell in love with her. I just knew that she knew exactly what I wanted, within my budget. Lily is very accommodating and understanding in what I wanted throughout the whole process.” – Andrew & Yunny


Richard + Joyce at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Congratulations dear Richard and Joyce on your recent nuptials! We are so happy to have been a part of your most special day.

Many thanks to Lane Ho of My Wedding Planner for doing such a wonderful job, and The Photoz for capturing the lovely photographs.


A modern centerpiece featuring luscious roses, hydrangea, matthiola, orchids and tulips.

Both Richard and Joyce chose a white-and-red color palette. “It’s the purity of white contrasted with the passion of red.” It is a stunning combination for sure. The decor for the evening was a feast for the senses! With a two-colour palette, textures, shapes, an lighting played a very important role in breathing life into the ambience and creating a pleasing, romantic aesthetic.


A custom made backdrop for photos.


An enchanting walk down the aisle once more.


Tastefully simple arrangements that speak volumes.

The aisle was one of the more unique ones that we’ve created, and it was Richard and Joyce’s favourite part of the decor. It felt like a modern art and light installation with countless stalks of red blooms suspended in crystal clear glass vases, surrounded by lots of candle light.


A closer look at the aisle decor and guest table centerpiece.

Submerged calla lilies, matthiola and aranthera orchids in clear vases filled with water makes the ambience a little more magical. Doesn’t it feel dreamy and ethereal?


No space is wasted here – we added flowers inside the vases here too.


The elegant red and white wedding cake, so befitting of the evening’s ambience.


A stunning vision! The centerpiece is a close second.

Thank you once again, Richard and Joyce, for choosing Wishing Tree for your big day and sharing your wedding story with us. We loved working with you and Lane to create this amazing ambience.

“Beautiful flowers, modern and sophisticated designs, immaculate quality.”
– Richard & Joyce


Wei Kiat + Ee Von at Carcosa Seri Negara

It was a beautiful day for a garden wedding, and what a beautiful wedding Ee Von and Wei Kiat had! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your most treasured day and also for sharing it with our dear fans and readers of this blog.

Photographs by MunKeat Photography.

Ee Von’s sweetly elegant bridal bouquet, and the bride’s personal touch on the wedding invitation that features her hand-painted watercolour design.

Our couple, who live in Melbourne, found us while researching wedding decorators in Kuala Lumpur and came across our website and blog. “We were impressed with the photographs of the works you have put up,” says Ee Von. “Wei Kiat and I have been together for over 12 years before our wedding, and we still agree and disagree on many things. Wishing Tree was certainly one of the few wedding vendors that we strongly agreed on after seeing your work!” Thank you for your most kind words, Ee Von.

Blush-coloured blooms in vintage vases and mason jars decorate the garden wedding, while pretty bridesmaids look lovely in their pale peach dresses.

We chose a blush palette for our couple’s big day, as they did not have a specific theme but wanted a country garden decor that would complement Carcosa’s garden as well as its interior decor. The colour palette includes a lot of white, pale peach, pale yellow, pale pink, and a touch of pale orange.


Gorgeous white matthiola and pale peach roses for the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

Ee Von’s favourite flower is the peony, but sadly we were unable to use peonies as they were not in season at the time, so she and Wei Kiat left many decisions to us with regards to flowers.

We chose luscious, white matthiola to feature in the floral arrangements, paired with pretty roses. Matthiola are absolutely beautiful on their own and one of our favourite flowers. We just love the amazing textures and their air of romanticism!


A celebratory kiss under the arch.

The arch was one of Wei Kiat and Ee Von’s favourites. “I was quite particular with the type of arch that I wanted for the outdoor ceremony. I was definitely worried about whether or not it could it be achieved as I had yet to see something like this in other weddings. But Wishing Tree assured me that it was possible,” Ee Vons explains. “I prepared myself mentally that it may not look like what I had in mind… but on that day, I was blown away – it was every bit as I imagined it to be!”


A gorgeous wedding cake by Gateauxlicious to complement the theme, and handmade wedding favours to sweeten the day.

In addition to the DIY wedding invites that our couple personally printed, which featured a watercolour print painted by the bride herself, our dear couple managed another DIY project for their wedding.

“We made, designed, and packed our own wedding favours (salted caramel popcorn with roasted almonds and macadamia) because, again, we wanted something that would give a personal touch to our wedding without breaking the budget,” says Ee Von. “I thought the idea of salted caramel was rather symbolic – a dash of salt can make something sweet so much more tasty, just like in a relationship. Popcorn because everyone loves popcorn, and, because we’re based in Australia, macadamia nuts seemed like the appropriate addition.”

Another factor that motivated their DIY projects was the size of their wedding. It was small, with no more than 60 guests, so their projects were very doable and not overly time consuming.


Wei Kiat and his beautiful bride make their way up the aisle, as man and wife.

Thank you once again, Wei Kiat and Ee Von, for sharing this important day with us and our readers. We wish you a lifetime of love and joy on your blessed new journey together!

“After the wedding, we wholeheartedly agreed that we made the best decision with Wishing Tree. Quality was never once compromised by a restricted budget, especially when our wedding day fell on Valentine’s Day. Should any bride- or groom-to-be ask for our suggestions, we would not hesitate to recommend Wishing Tree. For such a special occasion, every cent was worth it!” – Wei Kiat and Ee Von.


Kevin + Janice at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

This photograph of our couple walking into the ballroom as man and wife might be one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. Everything from the composition, the angle, the lighting, the colours, the decor, and the dress… perfection!

Many thanks to Daren Chong Photography for the beautiful photos you will see here.


Kevin and Janice look resplendent as they make their way to their dinner reception.

As one of many wedding and event decorators in Kuala Lumpur, it always special and meaningful to us when our clients choose us to decorate the most treasured day of their lives. This is especially significant to us when our clients have seen our work in past weddings and events or have come to us via word of mouth.

Our couple has friends who have worked with us, and have attended events that we decorated. This was how Kevin and Janice heard of Wishing Tree. Coincidentally, we also have a wonderful working relationship their wedding planner, Cindy from Nupts & Such. “These events helped me choose Wishing Tree as our decorator, and it has been a choice that we are very pleased with to this day!” says Janice.


Kevin and Janice’s aisle, crowned with the ballroom’s magnificent overhead crystal lighting.

The ballroom at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is an amazing venue, as you can see. Janice and Kevin wanted an elegant and romantic ambience for their dinner reception, which suits this space very well. Working with our couple’s chosen colour palette of silver, ivory and pastel pinks, we created this look for them.


The aisle leading to the bridal table is neatly lined with large-than-life floral arrangements.


Lush and simple bouquets of pink hydrangea for guest tables.

We love the versatility of hydrangea. So much texture in small bunches and they look gorgeous all on their own. The hydrangea bouquets on each guest table were provided by the hotel’s in-house florist.

The bridal table decor was one of Janice’s favourite parts. “The main table was gorgeous,” says our bride, “I loved the aisle and the candlelight; they made the space look so romantic and elegant.”


Kevin is stylish in a modern suit, while his bride shines in her exquisite “kun qua”, a 2-piece traditional Chinese ceremonial wedding dress.

Thank you, Kevin and Janice, for sharing your special day with us and our readers! We wish you both the very best and a lifetime of love and happiness. Here’s a little message our couple left for us:

“Lily helped us create the magic that we were looking for on our special day. We truly appreciate her flexibility in accommodating our budget without compromising the look we intended to achieve. Having had the benefit of attending events that were decorated by Wishing Tree, we were more than comfortable to leave the planning and execution to the team while we sat back and enjoyed our special day!” Kevin & Janice


John + Tiffany at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

Congratulations to John and Tiffany on tying the knot! Our dear couple celebrated with a beautiful reception at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, and we couldn’t be more honoured to have been a part of their most special day. Let’s take a look at some photos, courtesy of Louis Loo from Deviews Photography.


John and Tiffany’s bridal table at the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.

For their big day, our couple worked with Lane Ho from MY Wedding Planner, who introduced us. After visiting our shop and viewing our past weddings, John and Tiffany chose us as their decorator.

“Mint and pearls” was theme for this elegant wedding. “Mint is a colour we both love,” says John, “And the idea for using pearls, to express the purity and spirituality of our celebration, we thought was a great combo with the mint.” We think it’s a great combo too!

Our readers who are married, or those who are soon-to-be-married, how involved in the wedding decorating process was/is your partner? From our experience, most grooms would have left a lot of details and decisions to the ladies. Sometimes this is liberating for the bride-to-be, for some, it can be exasperating. Luckily for Tiffany, her groom was one of the more involved ones as John admits, “I played a very picky role in the details of my wedding decor!”


Understated elegance for their exchange of vows.

You’re probably wondering by now, where are the pearls in any of the photos of the wedding decor? The theme is mint and pearls after all? One of the things we love about our couple’s taste in decorating their wedding is their “controlled” use of ornamental details as you will see. In this case, the pearls. Let’s take a closer look…


Lush, white orchids seemingly floating out of tall vases with submerged pearls in the base.


So elegant and classic with beautiful white roses, lilies and orchids surrounded by golden candlelight, accented with submerged pearls in crystal clear vases.


The bridal table in all its luminescent glory.


Beautiful and intricate details using flowers, ornaments and candlelight. The usage and presentation of pearls is consistent throughout the decor.

We hope you enjoyed John and Tiffany’s wedding feature, with the spotlight on their “mint and pearls” theme. Thanks for stopping by!

To our lovely couple, many thanks once again for sharing your big day with us and our readers. Your participation in our little online community is much appreciated. We’ll end with a note from John:

“I think they are professional, and if you describe what you want, they can pull it off. Overall, we were very satisfied. I believe they are one of, if not the best in the market.”
