Editor’s Letter
Just do you Heaving buffets, hundreds of guests, red and gold decor... Hong Kong banquets tend to be pretty predictable. But these days, traditional weddings aren’t the only option. It’s easier than ever to throw a unique and personalised celebration in Hong Kong, thanks to an influx of surprising venues - think secret gardens, breweries, heritage buildings, and restaurants. And that’s just what this issue of My Hong Kong Wedding is all about. In our cover story (p.20), we’ve caught up with real couples to hear about their unforgettable - and unconventional - celebrations. Plus, we’ve uncovered a few of the city’s most surprising venues for your easy reference on p.30. Just in time for the chilly weather, you’ll find a shortlist of down-and-dirty outdoor bootcamps (p.46) that’ll whip you into fighting shape. As for fashion, we’ve got the low-down on winter bridal accessories (p.38) to keep you looking classy and feeling cosy this season. You can also peruse all the hottest autumn/winter wedding trends on p.12, gorgeous rose-gold jewellery (p.14), and a guide to flawless bridal makeup on p.50. Got the travel bug? Flip to p.52 to discover a whimsical Bangkok destination wedding, and then further fuel your wanderlust with honeymoon inspiration on p.56. Whether you’re tying the knot in a brewery or doing the deed on a boat, we hope your wedding day is totally “you.” To square pegs,
