Lively Cultural Fusion at Different Pointe of View

Coming from different states and different backgrounds, Ryan and Tram's wedding day was a celebration of both where they came from and the path they are forging together. Different Pointe of View at Hilton Phoenix provided a picturesque back drop for their lives and cultures to blend for a lively and colorful event. 

The palette of their al fresco affair embraced joy with saturated orange and red tropical florals on the chuppah popping against the soft blue of the springtime skies. Emphasizing this contrast beautifully, Tram's bridal party wore gowns in muted blue. Tram herself wore a beautiful a-line gown with lace detailing accented by a lengthy mantilla veil.  The swell of a violin scored the ceremony, the order of their vows having been playfully predetermined by a game of rock paper scissors. Petals rained over Ryan and Tram as they recessed back down the aisle as husband and wife, smiles painting their faces. 

Kicking off the reception with a bang, the newlyweds surprised their loved ones with lion dancers as well as a change of attire into traditional Vietnamese áo dài. Dancing was the highlight of the night, with the couple being lifted up on chairs for the hora and Tram crowd surfing to the band singing "I'm on a Boat" by Lonely Island. With about 90% of their guests having traveled from out of state for their wedding day, Ryan and Tram succeeded in treating their friends and family to the celebration of a lifetime. —Ryley S. Hoff
