#TatlerGrams: Take a peek into this surreally stunning event

It was as if a dream, a fairy tale, had actually come true.

Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho’s wedding was nothing short of picture perfect, from the invitations, lighting, music, décor, to every last detail -- even their innovative hashtag #aKHOand myBELOved! 

On September 2, the couple of 12 years held their religious ceremony in the American Church of Paris, on the Quai d’Orsay. Her ornate blush pink princess cut gown, as well as her 2 other gowns, was designed by Michael Cinco. Belo glowed in each and every gown, all of which were complimented Kho’s dapper black and white tuxedos.

They and their 200-250 guests moved on to their secret and oh so spectacular reception location: the Paris Opera House, Palais Garnier! The set up was breathtaking – just like the movies. Guests were welcomed with opera singers and harpists, and were entertained by a variety of world-class performers throughout the evening.

The couple’s first dance is reminiscent of a Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella-esque moment, as they gracefully floated on the Opera house’s grand staircase, which was adorned with a lush spread of flora and fauna. They danced to a “Take Me As I Am, which they themselves sang and had recorded for this special occasion.

Belo and Kho celebrated their love with their closest friends in this elegantly lavish gathering in one of the world’s most magical cities: Paris. This wedding is definitely one that will not be forgotten!
