Vietnamese-American couple impresses with lavish fairytale wedding

The couple held a second wedding ceremony in the bride’s hometown, the Vietnamese imperial city of Hue, last month, following their first similarly themed wedding ceremony in the United States.
It is reported that their marriage in the United States cost 21 billion VND (about $884,000).

Phi Diep, the wedding planner and spokesperson for the decoration team, said he and the lovebirds began planning their wedding ceremony earlier this year. The decoration concept was “mystical forest”.
The ceremony was originally scheduled to be held in a ballroom, but was later transformed into an outdoor party.

The couple and the team worked well together, facilitating the planning and preparation processes.
Linnie loves the shape of butterfly wings, so the planning team decided to make a huge, holographic-colored butterfly for the main stage.

Green, purple, pastel blue and pink were chosen as the main tones for the decoration of the party.
Cold smoke was used to create a dreamy and mystical ambiance for the party.

The ambience was combined with warm yellow lighting.

Three tons of leaves were delivered from the northern mountainous region to Hue to be used for decoration.
Many flowers in blue and purple colors, both imported from overseas and originating in the central highland city of Da Lat, were used. Many of them were rare flowers and the team had to make reservations with farm owners in Da Lat months in advance.

The installation process lasted from July 20 to 23. The team had to work at night for two nights.

The weather changed a lot in Hue during these days. It rained the first few days and it was sunny the last few days.

The team set up misting systems in the hall to water the flowers and keep them fresh.

Flowers and leaves, combined with light bulbs, were attached to the ceiling, making the whole room full of lights.

The wedding cake was decorated with pastel blue orchids, matching the bride’s bouquet of blue and purple tulips.

The wedding stationery set included groom’s and bride’s vows, wedding invitations and wedding diary.
The couple went viral for their ultra-extravagant wedding gifts, which were 26 pitches, earlier this month.
Linnie, 32, is an eyebrow tattoo artist. His Instagram account has over 300,000 followers. Jimmy, 41, is a businessman and real estate investor.
The couple first met in 2013 and separated after six months. They met again in 2020, this time realizing they were “born for each other”, before getting married.
They said they donated all the money they received as a wedding gift.
