On July 20, pro tennis star Carol Zhao and Andy Fang, co-founder of DoorDash, tied the knot in a stunning luxury wedding in Florence, Italy. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Tuscan hills, this multi-day celebration was filled with unforgettable moments. The weekend kicked off with a stylish welcome dinner followed by a private tour of the famous Uffizi Galleries. Guests were treated to a unique picnic experience featuring vintage cars and a vibrant night market inspired by Taipei, with food stalls, games, and Carol dazzling in a stunning qipao.

The ceremony was held under a dreamy floral arch, with heartfelt vows exchanged, and a surprise performance by Carol that brought everyone to tears. The evening continued with a lavish reception, featuring a mesmerizing drone show and a dance party that kept the celebration going until dawn.

In addition to their wedding website, save the dates and invitation suite, our team designed all paper and signage details for each event throughout the week.

From custom itinerary booklets to escort cards, menus, and programs, all beautifully crafted in rich tones of red, velvet, and watercolor to complement the luxurious and intimate feel of the weekend.
