  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. If time is not a luxury you have, there are many bridal boutiques across the city where you can rent or purchase ready-stitched gowns. 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.

Though no longer based in Hong Kong, designer Christina Devine remains a favourite whose skill and professionalism we can attest to first-hand.

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.

Hong Kong is not short of wedding packages and beautiful wedding venues, but what about spaces that are equal parts beautiful and unique? While it’s true that Hong Kong’s lack of space precludes it from having an eclectic rundown of options, that isn’t to say there are none. Though they may take a little more effort to hunt down, alternative wedding venues in Hong Kong do exist. Here are some of our favourites.

Trying on pristine white dresses and waiting for friends and family to say “yes” to the dress is a magical moment many brides-to-be can’t wait to experience, only to be dampened by price tags that contain perhaps one too many zeros. In Hong Kong, wedding dresses can easily start from five figures, and that’s before you even consider the wedding venue, catering, decor and photographer. (Perhaps it’s time to consider a wedding planner.) If you’ve been pining for a couture gown, don’t despair just yet. Perhaps consider a wedding dress rental?

There are plenty of brides now opting to rent the wedding dress of their dreams rather than splurge on something that will eventually end up collecting dust at the back of their closet. Not sure where to start? We’ve rounded up our favourite stores that offer affordable rental options, leaving plenty of your budget to fork out on that open bar…
