Everything looks really pink, but her colours were white and purple, and the lights in the room were a light purple but came out in the camera in pink....

There were three types of table centerpieces, one is a tall one with a pearl "umbrella" arrangement with white amaryllis and bunches of lily of the valley in small fish bowl vases.The medium height tables had three arrangements of varying heights on them.
The low arrangements were wide spread white orchids
And once the doors opened for the guests to take their seats, my co-worker, Annie, and I went downstairs to take photos of the staircase. The staircase, for those of you who don't live in HK, is SUPER Famous, supposedly it was the first hotel in HK to have such a grand staircase and many couples choose this venue for their banquet because of the staircase and the largest ballroom in all of Hong Kong.

Very simple decoration, but with the lighting it was stunning
During the banquet, there was a buddhist gift ceremony, and we were able to watch a bit of it. Nothing really special, just a buddhist monk from Taiwan attended the banquet and gave the new couple lots of gifts.
A common thing that many couples do now is to give away the flowers that they use, as these are all fresh cut flowers and it would be such a waste to throw them away. Most of the flowers will last for another week or so if the weather is cool. Even the flowers on the staircase were to be given to guests, so Annie and I had to setup a flower shop in the foyer, drying the stems and wrapping them in tissue paper for guests to take home. =)
