Born in Hong Kong, Laura grew up in Southern California with a strong sense of Chinese culture and the arts. As the daughter of Theodora Lau, best-selling author of Chinese astrology and Kenneth Lau, artist and Chinese calligrapher, Laura began learning about Chinese astrology at a young age.
Laura got engaged in 2006 and started a new journey of learning about Chinese wedding tradition, selecting auspicious wedding dates to cultural traditions. With her mother and father, she ventured off to China and Hong Kong to research Chinese weddings. Their trips inspired her to write Wedding Feng Shui, a wedding planning guide which shares ways of creating harmony in relationships, timing and décor and style, with the inspiration of Chinese astrology and feng shui.
Laura is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and UCLA Anderson School of Management. Laura and her husband make their home in Singapore. |
