More than 1,000 guests, including business leaders and celebrities, attended the celebration at a luxury wedding center in Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday afternoon.
The couple chose white and gold as the primary tones, accented with fresh pink flowers to create a regal atmosphere. The reception hall was styled as a paradise garden featuring Renaissance-era characteristics: symmetry, arches, columns, and classical European motifs reminiscent of Greek and Roman design.
Floral arrangements of roses, hydrangeas, and orchids filled the venue. A wedding portrait shot in London was displayed in a special corner for guests.
A live orchestra played as attendees entered the main hall, which was adorned with fountains, ornate frames, decorated tables, and lush greenery.
Each table included a small gift for guests. The menu featured abalone soup with cordyceps flower, followed by main courses: pan-seared lobster with Singapore sauce, scallops with caviar and saffron sauce, braised shiitake beef with French fries, pan-seared cod, and Hong Kong-style chicken sticky rice.
Dessert was red bean fried glutinous rice cake.
Tien, 28, holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s in aviation management from the U.K. She currently manages a fashion company specializing in luxury brands and is a well-known fashionista who frequently appears at major fashion weeks in Paris and London.
Her father Jonathan Hanh Nguyen is the founder and chairman of IPPG, Vietnam’s leading luxury retail group with exclusive distribution rights for more than 100 global brands including Rolex, Cartier and Dolce & Gabbana.
Tien’s husband, born in the 1980s, works in the advertising industry. The couple had been together for years but kept their relationship largely private.
