People often make fun of newlyweds having their pictures taken in front of the fountains in Hong Kong Park, with their rented gowns and tuxes, and often caked on makeup. But what else are newlyweds supposed to do? 'People in Hong Kong are more westernised now and are looking for a more personalised wedding. They want it less traditional and more contemporary,' says Michele Li, of the Wedding Company, which specialises in planning more appealing, upmarket weddings. It will hold its second annual wedding fair at the Grand Hyatt Ballroom on Sunday. The fair will feature top-notch brands and local fashion designers such as Dorian Ho, Shanghai Tang, Lusan Mandongus and Chiimes (which carries Badgely Mischka and Carolina Herrera wedding gowns). Online bridal gift registries such as locally run Double Happiness, Rosa Tseng Photography, and hair and makeup specialists will also be on hand to offer the bride and groom plenty of advice and suggestions. Veuve Clicquot is offering champagne tasting as well as two fashion shows at 2pm and 4pm. Tickets cost $80 at the door at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. CitySeen has five double passes each worth $160 to give away to engaged couples. Tell us how you proposed. No names need to be revealed. E-mail city seen@scmp .com
