With a whopping 600 guests to the ceremony, and 300 to the reception a day later, the vintage wedding of Priscilla Choi and Brian Tran (channelling 1920s old Hollywood glamour) was a colossal effort \u2013 but in the hands of Brisbane wedding planner Beauty & Grace<\/a> \u2013 a total triumph.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we pulled off such a big wedding over two days, with so many people, and in only a matter of a few months [the couple were engaged less than five months earlier] was due to a miracle in the form of Grace Phon<\/a>,\u201d admires Priscilla, 24.<\/p>\n

The immaculate wedding photos are by Rachael Muller, with today\u2019s blog covering the ceremony at Albert Street Uniting Church, and a gorgeous \u2013 and somewhat kitschy \u2013 photo shoot, locations including QLD Parliament House and Bowen Hills train station.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for Part 2<\/a> \u2013 a traditional Chinese tea ceremony (lots of cashed-up red envelopes) and wedding reception themed ‘Shanghai Tang’, or Shanghai in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

Priscilla and her bridal party were a vision of ivory with splashes of maroon. Her 1920s-inspired gown was a pre-loved Jenny Packham design with graceful lace cap-sleeves and a sheer keyhole back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Having first met at church when they were 16 and 21, Priscilla and Brian’s ceremony was a religious one, conducted by Reverend Canon Christoper Allan, who mentored Brian (a minister in training) for two years. “It meant a lot for us to have Chris run the service,” says Priscilla.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Priscilla chose Amy from Particulart Hair & Makeup for her expertise in Asian makeup. “Our complexion and eyes are different and lot of makeup artists get it wrong,” she explains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
