A civil ceremony pic from Palazzo Cavalli as bride and groom are showered with flower petals outside
In the moments immediately following their civil ceremony at Palazzo Cavalli, the bride and groom are showered with confetti that was thrown by their guests.
The couple Chun and Wei, their lovely family and all their guests had an unforgettable day in Venice, where cheerfulness — but also tradition — were the main characters.
Chun and Wei live in London, but they are from Singapore, so they wanted to honor their families by respecting the traditional tea ceremony. According to tradition, the newlywed couple serves a private tea to the bride's parents in the morning. Then, after vows are exchanged, a private tea is offered to the groom's family.
The bride got ready in a magnificent suite of Cà Sagredo Hotel, which doubled as the reception venue. The marriage ceremony was celebrated through a civil wedding at Palazzo Cavalli.
After the ceremony, the couple boarded a water taxi and went to Piazza San Marco for a portrait session. They then returned to the hotel for the second portion of the tea ceremony and to prepare for the reception, which was held in the refined and exclusive setting of Cà Sagredo Hotel.
Dinner took place in an incredibly beautiful frescoed room, with the refined table settings incorporating every detail, including a typical Venetian mask for each guest.
It was a really elegant wedding, in its form and essence, but, at the same time, free from any strict formalism. It was fresh, cheerful and funny.
