Traditional Vietnamese Wedding at The Essence Event Center
Blending Vietnamese traditions with modern flair results in a divine design for a special day.
September 13, 2022
Simple white florals and greenery complement the exposed brick and high ceilings of the Essence Event Center, once a bustling blacksmith shop for the Northern Pacific Railway, in St. Paul’s Bandana Square. Real-life couple Claudia and Justin wear the Vietnamese ao dai, a fitted top with long panels and high collar.
Subdued florals and pears set off the pristine stationery suite, with deckled edges and a wax seal in dusky rose to create casual elegance. The ring features a pear-shaped diamond to pick up the decorative motif.
“The subtle yellows, greens and browns of a pear were used as a palette throughout the shoot. You'll find details are really important to both Bright Events and my style … so intention was of utmost importance to us.” — Alexandra Robyn, photographer
It’s the little things that add up to refined beauty: Satin ribbons that grace the bride’s patterned shoes, an echo of Justin’s brocade ao dai, the spare symmetry of ceremony seating.
