So, you’ve said yes to the ring and it’s time to prepare for “I do!”.

But don’t worry, a number of us on the team have successfully tied the knot or are currently in the planning phase, so we’ve got a tip or two to share. This guide is particularly useful if you’re planning to host your wedding right here in the 852 but for others tying the knot overseas, it should also provide some much-needed inspiration.

  If organisation and time management are not your strong suit, hiring a wedding planner might be a necessary first step. Offering a world of experience, useful tips and invaluable connections with vendors and the like, an expert wedding planner can save you a significant amount of time, money and stress!

  First order of business is to secure your wedding venue as early as possible. Depending on when and where you’re planning to tie the knot, you may have to book a month to more than a year in advance. Narrow it down by season, and then decide what type of venue you envisage yourself getting married in. You could get hitched at your favourite hotel, by the sea or somewhere more unconventional like the Star Ferry or abroad! Or perhaps you’re planning to have a civil wedding at City Hall. Start calling up to see what dates are available.

Star Ferry

We can’t think of a better backdrop for your wedding than the Harbourfront — aboard the iconic Star Ferry no less. Whether for reception cocktails or the actual ceremony itself, couples can take their pick from four charming double-decker boats for hire.

Your wedding dress is another thing you want to have sorted early, especially if you’re thinking of ordering something from overseas or getting one custom-made.

Here are a couple of brands that our own team members and That Brides have donned on their big day… While you’re at it, you might want to pick out your wedding bands and look around for bridesmaid dresses and suits for the groom and his best men.

Once you’ve locked in your venue, you can start to think about how you would like it decorated (these wedding decoration companies and florists should have some ideas!). Other details to consider include which wedding catering company to go with and what flavour cake you want (be sure to ask for samples to taste, this is very important). Don’t forget entertainment! Whether you’re putting together your own Spotify playlist, hiring a DJ or booking a string quartet, you’ll want some music to get your guests on the dance floor.

Unless you’ve got a hair and makeup wiz in the family, you might want to consider hiring a professional to help you and your bridal party get ready on the morning of your wedding. It wouldn’t hurt to book trial sessions with a couple of makeup artists and hair stylists ahead of time to make sure you’re happy with your finished look. If you really want to pamper your bridal crew, you could organise a spa day for facials or mani-pedi sessions.

 After putting in all that effort to make sure you’ve got the perfect dress and that your venue looks just as you dreamed it, you need a photographer and videographer you can trust to capture your day. We’ve got a list of some of our favourite Hong Kong wedding photographers here, and it’s also worth scrolling through some portfolios you find on Instagram to get an idea of their photography style.

As a wedding guest, we’re sure figuring out your outfit is at the top of your to-do list (alongside cash or wedding gifts for the newly married couple). Whether it’s keeping cool at a spring garden lawn occasion or getting glam at a glitzy evening affair, we’ve put together five outfit ideas to help you nail the perfect look — no matter the wedding type, season or celebration.

What To Wear To A Spring Garden Or Lawn Wedding

There’s just something about a spring or summer celebration that pulls us towards florals and foliage — and, in our humble opinion, sustainable label Reformation does greens best. We love the brighter splashes of yellow and pinks on this forest green, a deeper shade that we think is what keeps the floral print dress from looking too casual.

There’s also a sense of elegance coming from the sensible above-ankle length, small peplum detail, mermaid tail, bustier and scallop edge lace trim. For a day event, pair with a pastel yellow pair of strappy heels (or beige!) and whichever metal suits your undertone best (we’ve gone with gold here but you can always opt for white-gold or bronze!).

What To Wear To A Summer Evening Reception

Balmy summer evenings call for a little skin! If you’re attending an outdoor affair in the warmer months, go for something with a little structure in a softer or brighter colour — light, but not white. That way you can stay cool but look sophisticated and put together.

This sensual coral midi dress is lightly embellished with sequins on floral lace for that formal but not too stuffy balance. We love the exposed boning on the sheer corset-style bodice and the decorative knot buttons. To amp up the glamour, we’re going for a rhinestone-studded clutch and pair of sandals, along with some diamonds and gemstone-studded jewellery.

What To Wear To A Black Tie Formal Event

What exactly is Black Tie? Good question! A semi-formal Western dress code for evening events, you’ll be in want of a floor-length gown (although this can be flexible depending on the couple getting hitched!). Look for something elegant, like this gorgeous backless draped dress in deep sea blue. We think the small lace detailing gives it a hint of edge.

We’re pairing this with silver tones: white-grey pieces and oxidised silver jewellery like these dangling chandelier earrings, classic metallic leather stilettos and a chain purse. It’s giving sophistication!

What To Wear To A Tropical Destination Wedding

Now do you have to wear colour from head to toe? Of course not! But we think a tropical destination wedding calls for a little fun! Go for something bright, especially if you’re heading somewhere tropical or beachy. Keep cool in a draped dress, with some flexibility to beat the heat (and room to eat to your heart’s content!).

We can’t get enough of this JW PEI bag, which comes in over 28(!) colours. Pair with some strappy gladiator heels (you’re welcome to go for black, beige or white!) and a stunning bold lip — we’re plugging MAC’s Locked Kiss Ink for a weightless liquid colour that promises to stay on all day, in heat and humidity.

Tropical Destination Wedding — Look 4 Pieces

Something Different For Any Wedding Event

And finally, a “you can’t go wrong” pick! Instead of a dress, try a classy jumpsuit — like this halter-neck satin option in soft pastel purple. Black doesn’t mean you’re playing it too safe (it’s timeless!) so we’re pairing this number with some mesh ruffled heels and a teeny tiny embellished bag. Finish the look with accessories like silver-tone chunky hoops. You’re guaranteed to fit any dress code.

Picture this: wedding season is upon us (or it never really seems to end) and you’ve got an invite in the mail from a friend or family member. It’s an excuse to get dressed up and celebrate a loved one but the world of wedding gifts can be hard to navigate. We’ve put together this handy guide — so you know exactly how much cash to give to the new happy couple.

Read More: Wedding Gift Ideas For Newlywed Couples In Hong Kong

You’ve been invited to a wedding and you’re super excited to attend: your outfit (or outfits, plural!) is picked out and you’ve wrangled a plus-one to accompany you on the day. But now you’re faced with a dilemma — you’re expected to give a cash gift. Just how much money should you be giving to the happy couple? Too little and you’ll be seen as miserly, too much and you’ll end up inappropriate. Don’t sweat, here are the dos and don’ts of wedding gift etiquette when it comes to cash.

Please note, these are general recommendations and there are many, many factors that may affect how much cash you want to give to newlyweds. These could include: how close you are to the couple, how far you have to travel to the celebration (is it a destination wedding abroad?) and your own financial situation. You can always use our cultural tips as a rule of thumb and go from there!

How Much Money To Gift At A Chinese Wedding

Red envelopes aren’t just for Chinese New Year — they are also expected as gifts at Chinese weddings. Unlike Western weddings, gift registries are not common for Chinese weddings and cash is actually preferred, as the money goes towards paying for the wedding costs and helping the couple start their new life together.

The Chinese words for red envelopes (including “lai see”, “hong bao” and “ang pao”) also represent good fortune so there is an extra layer of meaning with your cash gift.

The amount of money you should put into the red envelope should be equal to the cost of the Chinese wedding banquet you will be attending. This could range from $1,000 to $2,000.

Again, factor in your relationship with the couple — if you’re a distant relative or friend, stick to the smaller end of the scale but if you are close to the couple, you may want to give more than $2,000.

In keeping with Chinese tradition, try to stay away from any amounts that contain the number 4, as it is associated with death. Alternatively, try to incorporate the number 8 into the amount as it is a lucky number in Chinese culture said to bring fortune.

How Much Money To Gift At An Indian Wedding

Just like Chinese weddings, it is customary for guests at Indian weddings to give cash or cheques inside a decorative envelope or embroidered bag. In Indian culture, stick to amounts that end in 1 (like $101, $201, $301 etc.) rather than round numbers, as they are more auspicious and signify that the couple is off on a new journey together.

There is no hard and fast rule for how much to give at an Indian wedding and it depends on how well you know the couple. Give as much as you can and as long as the amount ends in 1, you will be giving a lucky gift!

How Much Money To Gift At A Japanese Wedding

With Japanese weddings, things are a bit easier as there is a general set rule for cash gifts. Depending on whether you are going to Japan for the wedding or attending the wedding of a Japanese couple, you can pay in Yen or the equivalent amount in your currency. Whatever you do though, don’t give an amount that’s divisible by 2 because the number can be evenly split — and no one wants to talk about splitting up at a wedding!

Single people and colleagues attending a Japanese wedding tend to give ¥30,000 (around HK$1,600), while a boss or a married couple will usually give ¥50,000 (around HK$2,700). Close relatives might choose to give even more. Remember to put the money in a special envelope called a “shugi-bukoro” and you’ll be good to go.

How Much Money To Gift At A Korean Wedding

The thing to keep in mind when giving cash to a Korean couple getting married is that it is reciprocal. This means that whatever amount you give them, they will end up “owing” you the same amount if you were to host a wedding that they are invited to. It is a fine balance here because if you give too much, the couple will feel burdened to try to return the same amount to you.

Once again, how familiar you are with the couple comes into play. People will typically pay W30,000 (around HK$178) if they are single or a colleague, all the way up to W100,000 (around HK$593) if they are very close relatives or friends. Similar to Chinese weddings, you should try to give enough to cover the cost of the wedding meal you will be eating at the reception.

How Much Money To Gift At Other Asian Weddings

What about other Asian wedding cultures that we haven’t covered on the list? Not to worry — it’s pretty safe to assume that cash is the preferred gifting option at most Asian ceremonies, including Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese weddings. So, don’t be afraid to bring an envelope of cash with you on the big day as they will be happily received by the bride and groom.

How Much Money To Gift At European Weddings

Cash gifts are also a part of many European wedding cultures. In Italy, the bride carries a satin bag (called “la borsa”) that guests can push cash into and in France, wedding guests can contribute money into a “pot commun”, or a communal pot.

In Spain, couples even put their bank account details onto the invitation so guests can directly transfer money to them without even needing to take out cash! Money is also a popular option for German and Polish weddings.

How Much Money To Gift At North American And British Weddings

While North American and British weddings generally have a gift registry that guests can purchase items from, giving money is becoming an increasingly popular option as well, with some couples opting for a cash registry instead of a traditional one.

Some couples may ask for contributions towards a down payment on a house or for their honeymoon, so cash can be a good option if you don’t want to have to deal with picking out and buying a gift off a registry.
