this is a little overdue but better late than never right?
here's a peek at the backdrop of the so-called pelamin for our bertunang ceremony. from top to bottom: 1. my father constructed the wooden arch that my step mother's fabulous friend, kak zai, then covered with cream colored roses, ferns & stems of dangling orchids, 2. the vases behind the sofa are filled with baby blue hydrangeas & sundal malam plus there were a couple of low arrangements of casablanca lilies, 3. the gorgeous pillows on the sofa are from my besties' boutique and can be purchased at metrojaya or parkson if you're interested. just look for the brand Renai.
here's part of my hantaran to bobby. from top left & clockwise: 1. sirih junjung done by my step mother, 2. tepak sirih, 3. macarons from shangri-la, 4. bunga rampai made by my grandmother & cousins, 5. grapes, 6. godiva dark chocolate assortment. what's not pictured here is the beautiful cake, thai silk for his baju melayu + songket, songkok+ butang baju melayu. the dulangs were done by Renai.
from left to right (click on the picture for a larger view): 1. the simple floral arrangement on each table set on top of the handmade table runner that iwan made for me & that we finished embroidering the day before (too bad you can't see the embroidery on the ends), 2. i opted to take away the standard ribbons on the chairs despite protest from many of my aunties because i felt the ribbons looked so, well, cheap. so glad i stuck to my guns because the effect was clean & calm, 3. the two tents to seat our 100 or so guests. it turned out we had about 200 guests but luckily we had enough food & lots of space in the house too.
and finally, iwan & i made some ruffle balls that i initially wanted to hang in the tents but because we could only make 20 in the short time we had, they looked kinda lonely spaced out in the huge tents. so with a little creative thinking, we decorated the grille to the main doorway with our handmade ruffle balls.
we just had to take a picture with our beloved balls (ok that sounds so wrong!)
i'll be sharing more pictures throughout the week so stay tuned!
