For the evening reception, we kicked it up a notch and had a full blast Great Gatsby Theme Reception by the Beach! We were very much inspired by The Danna Hotel&rsquo;s colonial style, and had so much fun watching our guests arriving in their best Gatsby outfit. Myself, I wore a sparkling sequined dress in blush pink complete with a birdcage veil, while <span class=\"il\">SaiMeng<\/span> was decked out in his best black Tuxedo. Our color theme was inspired by vintage Gatsby with cream, pink and gold. Our wedding planners also did a great job adorning the dinner tables with tall ostrich feathers, pearls, elaborate votive candles, beautiful flowers and tiffany chairs. I absolutely loved the black and white checkered dance floor with hanging chandelier that they arranged for us too! :)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

&ldquo;Can&rsquo;t Get My Eyes Off You&rdquo; in front of our close friends and family members, and then surprising them with an amazing 2-minutes fireworks display right after our dance! There are no words to describe the moment, it was simply magical :)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Couple Recommends:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>I would highly recommend my photographer, Ben Yew and wedding live painter, Nataliya Tyaglo. Ben Yew was the most enthusiastic, professional and talented photographer, his affable personality was a great pleasure to work with on our big day! His work also has a dreamy tint which I absolutely love for wedding photography :) Nataliya&rsquo;s artwork is simply one of a kind, you have to view it for yourself. I highly recommend her to any wedding couples who likes the idea of immortalizing their wedding moment on a canvas art. We now have two gorgeous museum-worthy canvas pieces in our living room, very much thanks to her!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding Team:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photography &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/benyew.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Yew Photography<\/a><br>\nEvent Planning &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccasions-eventeur.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Occasions Eventeur<\/a><br>\nCeremony Venue &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/langkawi\/\" target=\"_blank\">Four Season Langkawi Resort<\/a><br>\nReception Venue &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/thedanna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Danna Langkawi Hotel<\/a><br>\nFloral Design &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoccasions-eventeur.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Occasions Eventeur<\/a><br>\nCake &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/thedanna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Danna Langkawi Hotel<\/a><br>\nVideography &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.filming-art.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Filming Art Cinematography<\/a><br>\nInvitations &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/thepaperbunny.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Paper Bunny<\/a><br>\nMakeup Artist &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raynischowmakeup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Raynis Chow<\/a><br>\nWedding Dress &ndash; Designed&nbsp;by Vera Wang, purchased at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidsbridal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">David&rsquo;s Bridal<\/a><br>\nGroom&rsquo;s Apparel &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ralphlauren.com\/shop\/index.jsp?categoryId=2871712\" target=\"_blank\">Ralph Lauren Black Label<\/a><br>\nRings &ndash;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.degemdiamond.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Degem<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A huge thank you to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/benyew.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Yew Photography<\/a>&nbsp;for giving us a glimpse into&nbsp;<span class=\"il\">Allison<\/span> and <span class=\"il\">Saimeng&rsquo;s incredible island wedding!
