The bride hired a wedding decoration crew to deck out the ocean-themed wedding.

It took the crew three days to design the concept and five days to complete the decorations, employing the work of more than 100 people on the 400 square-meter space.

The crew said the difficult part was dealing with wind for the outdoor event and making sure the flower gate and photobooth didn’t tip over.
