Wai Yee and Shinwoo met at a friend’s birthday in New York City in May 2021. Two years later, Shinwoo proposed during a photoshoot in Central Park, the same place they had their first date. On September 6, 2025, they married at Madison Greenhouse in Newmarket, Ontario, where their vision for an ethereal, nature-rooted celebration came to life. Planned by Karin Wu & Co. with florals by Infinitude Design, the day blended Chinese and Korean cultural traditions with a whimsical storybook aesthetic.
A Whimsical Ceremony in the Greenhouse
The greenhouse setting gave the ceremony an otherworldly quality, with lush greenery and natural light creating a backdrop that needed very little embellishment. Cultural elements were woven throughout, including a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and interactive moments that kept guests engaged. Wai Yee wore a bespoke bridal look, while Shinwoo wore both a traditional Chinese Tang suit and a custom forest-green three-piece suit by Empire Customs with personalized details inspired by florals and Korea’s national animal, the tiger.
Storybook Design Rooted in Nature
The design team leaned into the whimsical concept without losing elegance. Lush, organic floral installations blended with the greenhouse’s natural surroundings while the tablescape mixed botanical details with soft candlelight and textured accents. The overall effect felt like walking into a garden fairytale, grounded and dreamy at the same time. Every detail was designed to feel like part of the landscape rather than sitting on top of it.
A Storybook Greenhouse Wedding to Remember
Featured in Issue 35 of WedLuxe Magazine, Wai Yee and Shinwoo created a celebration that was personal, cultural, and beautifully immersive. Madison Greenhouse proved to be the perfect canvas for a couple who wanted their wedding to feel like stepping into another world. Explore more real weddings on WedLuxe for inspiration.
