That English Themed Wedding

I just finished my latest Wedding Guest Book, ordered by B2B from Kajang 2 weeks ago. She asked for English theme, dusty pink shades. And the design of the cover and first page was inspired by herself.

And honestly, this would be one of my favorite. I used Layla and Mini Leli on this one, but I altered them a little bit. Instead of putting those shining brooches and small beads on both respectively, I put pearl beads.

I was really hoping that the colors of chiffon that I used suit the theme. The B2B provided me strips of ribbons she used for her wedding just to guide me for the theme color, but it was hard to find the same ones for the chiffon.

I have to admit, 2 weeks was too short for me to finish this, but finally I'm really happy that I manage to make it done and send the book to her yesterday. I hope she'll love it and enjoy her wedding fabulously. And thanks to Allah to make it happen and thanks to Imran for supporting me, like always!

Assorted shades of dusty pink chiffon that I'd bought. Nice!

The girl also ordered this simple signboard. Lovely!

 

Fin. And now I can sit and relax and enjoy the sunshine and rain!
Have a fabulous day, people!

Mason Jar Project 01

Packing tape sticker for the mason jar.
Can be used as a candle holder, guest book table setting decoration or centerpiece on your wedding party!

First, ever!

Salam and Hello.
I am so, so, so happy when I managed to finish my very first handmade Wedding Guest Book ordered by a friend in Shah Alam. She was asking me to make a guest book with red and white theme and black cover. I was so excited and took this as my new challenge as to improve my creativity. So I decided to use velvet for the cover and Japanese stab for binding.

It's a very simple layout with red felt flowers and brooches and some silver filigrees. And not to forget, the signage and 2 altered mason jar with paper doilies and chiffon flower, I made as the table setting deco.

Owh, by the way, the signage-- it is not a chalkboard, even if it looks like one (I couldn't find one at the nearest store that time). So, I got the cork board from Daiso, attached a piece of black cardstock on it with the double sided tape and that's it!

I will post the tutorial on making the signage, later. :)
Till then!
Ta-ta!

Book of Wedding

Sneak peek.
I am now working on this guest book, ordered by a friend for her wedding this end of September.
This is just the layout for the cover, I'll post the finished book later.

The Lott's wedding of May 2012

Salam and hello,
Just a pre-post on my sister's wedding. She's the fifth daughter and this is the third wedding in the Lott's family (I am the second and mine was second). The theme colors were cream for solemnization and dark purple with a touch of pink for the reception.

And I've made two veils for her. A simple cream chiffon veil and a simple pink tulle veil. Like always, it became a last-minute project, but this time it was because I've been spending a lot of time with Aryaan. Ha-ha, alasan! :P

Also, a purple-pink hand bouquet, hantaran deco and we, the seven sisters with assistance of husbands and cousins, have been working on the favors for 800+ guests.

The wedding ceremony was simple and those stuff were also simple but I think they were "comel" enough. Just wait for some pics on these. I hope it will give some idea for your wedding.

The Color Challenge, No. 2

Another wedding. Another colors. I love wedding... and colors!

:: DIY Wedding :: White. Oh!

When I was sent to Kota Kinabalu last year by the Institute to interview some students prior to further their study in our place, I happened to walk alone from the hotel to Pasar Filipina, the well-known local craft market.

Thinking of buying some souvenirs for people in Semenanjung, I walked inside the market and was frenzied by all handmade stuff they put up for sale. Pearls, beads, crystals, shell craft... everything!

I ended up with buying some crystal bracelets, pearls and a few strings of crystal beads. I was thinking of making hair accessories with the beads, but after a few months they were still on the strings.

Finally, an idea came to my head when someone told me to put something on my handmade white chiffon flower headband I'd made for my wedding. She said it looked plain and I had to add some colors on it. So, I decided to bind the beads with the silver wires and wound them around the flowers.

And this is the one that I'd worn during the solemnization together with the white laced veil.

That's all!
Happy Weekend!

::DIY Wedding:: The Shoe Clips

I spent less on the shoes for my wedding. I bought only a pair of silvery white shoes and I wore them in both ceremonies - at Ipoh and Gombak. But it was a different thing when I had an orange-colored Baju Kurung and Imran had a black suit with an orange theme, and I had an out-of-theme pair of shoes.

Just so that the shoes wouldn't look so much different, I need something orange to put on. I've made a pair of shoe clips. Made of orange satin and white organza. Beaded and a clip was handsewn at the back of each.

Generally, the shoes still looked out-of-theme. But, does it matter? Well, in Malay's wedding it does (I guess). But, who cares? I like to be different, by the way. (even though, a night before the ceremony at Gombak, I told Imran that I was thinking I'd look different and what would people say. And I asked if I could buy a new shoes. But he said, "Just don't care of what people say. It's our wedding.". Yeah, he was right.)

Well, those shoes, they made my day! Yeay!

I love myself!

See ya!

:: DIY Wedding :: The Labels

Some of you may familiar with this label. Yes, I've been inspired when I found this site by Betsy White. And she kindly permit the reader to download the label thru her site. She even put the tutorial for this.

And I've redesigned the label suits to my wedding. Still used the same template, but I added our name at the top of the wordings.

How did I do that? Simple. By an intelligent copy-and-paste procedure. As easy as that!

I hope this idea also inspires you for your own wedding. Love you!

Till then! Ta-ta!
