The happy couple’s dreamy destination wedding was held earlier this week

Laurinda Ho Chiu-lin, the daughter of late Stanley Ho, the casino king of Asia, married Chinese Canadian actor Shawn Dou in a gorgeous two-day affair in Bali earlier this week.

The wedding was held at the Six Senses Uluwatu Bali hotel with more than 100 guests in attendance. But even the venue’s stunning ocean view, beautiful gardens and perfect weather couldn’t outshine the joy of the happy couple, who exchanged their vows in front of their friends and family, and promised to enter the next chapter of their lives together.

A lavish wedding

As the daughter of Asia’s late gambling king, Ho spared no expense in creating the most unforgettable wedding. Her new husband also played a hands-on role in the preparations, including selecting the venue, and participating in the theme design, content planning and music selection.

The wedding venue was decorated with an abundance of flowers, crystals and larger-than-life set pieces such as crystal chandeliers and a grand piano. However, it was also designed in such a way that the extravagant event, which cost HK$50 million, blended seamlessly with its surrounding nature, and endless ocean and sky backdrop.

Planned to perfection

As a fashion lover and influencer, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Ho’s wedding would be anything less than perfect.

For her big day, she wore two dreamy wedding gowns by renowned Chinese American fashion designer Vera Wang, whose ethereal creations made Ho look like a fairytale princess. Being from a traditional Chinese family, the bride also wore a stunning qipao, and Dou wore a matching Chinese ensemble, for a portion of the wedding.

However, the couple chose to forego piling on the wedding bangles and other jewellery. Instead, the bride wore only three pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets and a pendant to complement her qipao.
