A Fairytale in the Forest: Jing & Steve’s Timeless Nestldown Celebration
July 3, 2023
On July 3, 2023, Jing and Steve stepped into their forever at Nestldown in Los Gatos, surrounded by towering redwoods, delicate florals, and the joyful presence of loved ones. It was a day where everything felt just right—flawlessly coordinated, beautifully styled, and filled with heartfelt emotion.
Jing wore not one but two breathtaking gowns by Jusere and Youlanda, which she discovered during a 2019 trip to China. The moment she saw them, she knew—this would be the dress she’d one day walk down the aisle in. And when that moment came, as she descended the stairs toward Steve, it wasn’t just the guests who were moved—Steve’s tears said everything.
The entire day was a reflection of grace and joy. From the serene setting to the enchanting florals by Kat Flower Affair, the stunning photos captured by JJ Chen, and the flawless service by Poetry in Motion Catering, each detail fell into place. The celebration was full of laughter, love, and dance—so memorable that guests reached out afterward to say it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
As the magic of the day came to a close, Jing knew she wanted to preserve not just the memory, but her gown—for her daughter’s future wedding. She entrusted it to Elegance Preserved after a close friend’s recommendation. Trusting their wedding dress cleaning and preservation services “I’m saving it for my daughter,” Jing shared. “It holds the memory of a perfect day—and the tears in my husband’s eyes.”
