The daylong affair shines the spotlight on every major detail needed for a dream wedding, inspiring visitors with exhibits of themed celebrations. There will be a fashion show by designer Francis Libiran, in partnership with Wedding Essentials Magazine.
Guests can walk through several wedding tableaus, artfully decorated to stimulate ideas for their special days At the Deck Bar, for example, an open rooftop ceremony situates the festivities under blue skies, while a string trio fills the air with romantic music. The Monet Function Room, on the other hand, features a countryside-wedding set-up with an abundance of fresh flowers, wood accents, and the rustic charm of repurposed decor. The reception area at the Pollock Function Room exudes feminine elegance in its dainty theme, with antique furniture and shimmering satins in rich hues of brass, gold, blush and peach.
For couples with creative souls, the art-themed exhibit at the Warhol Function Room embodies the excitement of new beginnings through exuberant splashes of color amidst a dazzling background. In contrast, the Joya Function Room presents an all-white lounge setup, its understated elegance allowing guests to put their full attention on the bride and groom.
The Calder Function Room will display elegance through timeless luxury in its Crimson Posh setup. Imagine a wedding reception that’s set amid a backdrop of deep red roses and sparkling lights romantically adorning the whole area.

Brides and brides-to-be might find their perfect gowns at one of Beginnings’ highlights: a fashion show featuring Francis Libiran’s latest wedding gown collection, Affaire de Coeur.
