i'm still here

sorry for the bout of silence my lovelies. wedding plans have been put on hold for awhile but will soon be back on track. i scared myself silly today looking at this wedding planning checklist. jeez man, i'm waaaay behind schedule!

to calm my nerves a bit, i did a little wedding blog surfing & found this gem. it's the surprise wedding of eat chic drink's writer to her man. i love the details, the riot of colors & the element of surprise. would love to pull off something like this & give our friends & families a good (but hopefully happy) shock....

more coral

can't seem to get enough of coral & i'm seeing it everywhere now! could it be a sign? this inspiration board is from flights of fancy.

coral

i think this is possibly the loveliest & rather unexpected color combo for a bright, cheery wedding. dare i pull it off for our wedding? hmmmmm i dunno... it might shock some people in my family gauging the way quite a few questioned my choices during the bertunang.

anyways, here's another wedding with coral tones that i'm crushing on.

vintage colors

i just realised that the colors i'm using for the bertunang are quite vintage-y (if there were such a word but you get what i mean right?). they're very much like the colors represented in the picture above entitled nubes vintage. it honestly wasn't intentional but came together serendipitously! just the way i like. anyways, today is set up day.... eeee, so excited!

bertunang theme color

i spent the whole of yesterday discussing bertunang plans then travelled all the way to melaka & back (don't ask why) to pick out the fabric for my dress, my mothers, my father & my dulang carriers. upon checking out all the fabric options for my dress, i picked out the most elegant piece i could find that fit in with my design sensibilities (vintage inspired, pretty & not too over the top). i still can't stop myself from touching the beaded & embroidered fabric...

the sequins are actually silver, not gold.

upon picking out the fabric which took me less than 30 minutes, it was a breeze to pick out fabric for everyone else & to set the theme color: teal, turquoise & tan. i know this particular combo is not necessarily everyone's cup of tea but i think it's a classic color combination that will look good on everyone & it's definitely unexpected.... just the way i like it.
