Perfectly Blended Wedding Of Vietnamese, Korean And American Cultures

This perfectly blended wedding had Vietnamese, Korean and American cultures, and we’re totally obsessed with the flawless combo! Catherine Smeader Photography captured all aspects and details of Diana Ngo and Nathan Park’s wedding festivities, and we are loving scrolling through all the beauty. The couple celebrated with not just one ceremony, but three, on their big day. The day started with a Vietnamese tea ceremony at the bride’s father’s home, followed by an American ceremony in the afternoon and finally a Korean ceremony during their reception. We love the idea of having all three celebrations in one day! Half Moon Lettering created the most stunning invitation suite for their wedding, and we’re absolutely swooning over the watercolor illustrations. Diana’s whole look for their American ceremony was put together by an absolute dream team – her stunning bridal gown was from Brickhouse Bridal and her gorgeous ring from Uptown Diamond. Truly every aspect of the Park’s wedding day was so thoughtfully curated, and we know you’re going to love it just as much as we do!

From the bride on her favorite memory: “Our favorite wedding day memory was seeing our little pup, Mino, dressed in his little tux that one of our bridesmaids, Marian, made for him. He was part of our Vietnamese wedding entrance and the farewell exit.”
