A Modern Wedding in the Heart of London
This wedding at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park was a masterclass in modern London elegance. Set in one of the city’s most iconic hotels, overlooking the lush greenery of Hyde Park, the day was designed to feel refined, intimate, and effortlessly polished.
The couple wanted a celebration that blended clean design with classic touches, something that felt luxurious but not showy, and above all, personal.
Styling the Ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental
The ceremony took place in the intimate Loggia, where we softened the room’s formal architecture with a calm, tonal palette of whites, soft blush, and muted blue. The florals were sculptural yet organic, creating a quiet sense of drama without overwhelming the space. Drink reception followed on the terrace overlooking Hyde Park in the Summer hottest day, just perfect!
The reception followed with views across the park and a dining experience that reflected the couple’s taste: tailored, contemporary, and detail-led. Every element, from the crisp linens to the floral styling and menu design, was considered but never overworked.
Beatrix and Dan wanted to incorporate their multicultural heritage with subtle elements throughout their day, like cherry blossoms on the stationery, with Beatrix being South Korean/Hungarian and Dan’s Scottish and Chinese heritage.
A romantic harpist entertained the guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, playing B&D’s favorite songs.
As the evening unfolded, the tone shifted effortlessly from formal elegance to relaxed celebration. celebration. The lighting changed, the tempo lifted, and the couple took to the dance floor surrounded by friends and family in a space that felt both grand and deeply personal.
