With over eighty thousand followers on Instagram, @shallwesasa is a fashion blogger who is known for wearing pops of color, ruffles, and accessories that you cannot help but fall in love with. We are so thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to talk with Sasa about a monumental moment in her life that just recently passed…her WEDDING!

I did not have a preference on what color I wanted my mom to wear. As long as she was happy with it and looked good in it, I was totally on board! I realized that it was really important how she felt. She had to feel really comfortable and confident in her dress. 

It is traditional that the couple makes a speech to honor their parents during their ceremony. It was hard for me to keep it together, let alone my mom. As soon as I started my speech she was crying…and so was I. I tried to keep it personal to a certain extent, so the rest of our guests could relate. My mom is my role model and if I could be half the woman she is, I would consider myself a pretty amazing woman and wife.

Sasa and her fiancé had a small ceremony with a few family members as witnesses in San Francisco City Hall before the main ceremony. 

In Shanghai, where Sasa’s formal ceremony took place, Sasa wore a red lace dress as a sign of good luck in Chinese culture. She also had a tea ceremony, which is traditional and a significant part to any wedding. This was hosted the day prior to the wedding, and is to honor the parents and elderly family members.
