Christine Lim, a journalism student and aspiring actress from the Philippines, celebrated her 18th birthday with the party of a lifetime, treating 350 guests to a lavish 'Crazy Rich Asians' themed bash which featured two fairytale ball gowns and a towering eight-tier cake worth over $5,000 alone.

Her dream was brought to life by six fashion designers, two celebrity hair and makeup artists, a stylist, professional cake decorator and one of the country's most famous actors over the course of two years before the party on October 12.

Christine told Daily Mail Australia it took a lot of careful consideration to settle on her chosen theme because she wanted the event to 'look and feel like it was lifted from a fairytale'.
