macaron tower

 

 

 

i have a thing for macarons. no doubt they’re the latest, trendy dessert in KL but i’ve always loved them ever since i had my first taste at laduree yonks ago. that being said, i’m sooooo happy that i can now easily get macarons locally which makes it easier to have my dream macaron tower or macaron croquembouche for the wedding instead of the traditional wedding cake!

 

the ones pictured above would be my favourite twist on the more traditional tower  pictured below in the terrarium tablescape from project wedding.

 

 

i also like this very informal (and easy) set up below but i don’t think it’ll work for a wedding cake replacement.

 

vinyl cover invitations

i saw this on 100 layer cake & i knew instantly that this would be perfect for our 1950’s Malaya theme wedding reception invitations. we might be able to put in an actual CD that looks like a vinyl as a pre-wedding souvenir for our guests since i’ll probably make the invitations myself (with the help of my family & friends of course). 600 guests should equal to about 350 invitations right? eep.

anyway, i just love this idea :)

1950s Malaya

I seem to disappear on you fine folks more & more these days huh? Sorry about that. I’ve been living in a bubble & besides confirming the date, there have been NO plans or progress whatsoever in regards to the wedding.

Except for one thing that is. Inspired by our nation’s recent Independence Day celebration (Happy Merdeka everyone!), I’ve decided that we’re gonna go for a 1950’s/early 1960’s Malaya theme for the wedding reception on my side. That’s right: kebaya ketat & songkok tinggi, joget lambak & twist, gin & tonic, P.Ramlee & Saloma, vinyls & Vespas.

Here are some images that are getting my creative juices going (thanks to Malaysia Design Archive):
