r/asianweddings

I am located in Southern California. My fiancé and I were thinking of Pioneertown.. keep in mind we are trying to keep it as casual as possible, as we have a small budget.

I floated the idea to my mom and she was appalled 😭 I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I liked the idea of western/cowboy wedding. But my parents live in Korea, they are very Korean, so I understand that it's weird to her. She also does not like the wedding dress silhouette I was thinking, she thinks it's too casual 🫠

It's making me sad. She already doesn't like my fiancé and his family (this is another issue). So I'm seeking advice on what to do. If you had a wedding venue that your parents didn't want, how did it turn out? I know the American mindset is that your wedding is your day so you should do what you want, but for me, it's my day but I want to value guest/family experience too. So if you have Asian parents, please also comment if Pioneertown is a bad idea.

hi everyone! how did you feed your vendors?
we're having a typically chinese banquet so its 8-courses of food.
our venue has the option to either feed vendors the same things as guests or a scaled down menu (ex: 5 instead of 8 courses, no lobster, etc). it would save us almost 200$.

i kinda feel bad if we have them eat vendor meals, even though it'll still be hot and delicious - just less food. but we also have a pretty busy night so i feel like the guest versions will be wasteful since they'll be working majority of the time?

any feedback or advice would be appreciated!!

Hello! I know there are a lot of designers and places that offer custom make sangjit cheongsam. I was wondering if there are any places that offer ready-to-wear or off the rack sangjit cheongsam to buy or rent? I don't necessarily need a custom one.

Also I am abroad/not in Asia so will need to someone who is willing to do virtual appointments/measurements if needed.
