Lisa Ling's Worldly Wedding

Though they got married in May 2007, we are still drooling over photographer, Eric Lamph’s pictures of Lisa Ling’s wedding to oncologist, Paul Song. The epitome of a “Worldly Wedding”, their Asian themed wedding was breathtaking. From the stunning red and gold dress Lisa wore, to the traditional Korean hanbok that the groom wore, their wedding was full of Asian traditions and themes. A couple after our own hearts, their invitation read, "If you're cool, you'll dress Asian chic."

We love these bright red Chinese lanterns that hung over the dance floor.

How cool is this breathtaking arrangement of birds carved from vegetables and fruits?!!
