Do It Yourself Demo .. extra deco for a wedding

Throwback ...

21 September 2014. Accepted an invitation to do a wedding extra deco by a local wedding magazine Inspirasi Perkahwinan at Shah Alam Convention Center, Shah Alam. In conjunction of a Wedding Expo.

I chose to show deco props from recycled water bottles, news paper, broken cups, egg carton, fabric remnants. And displayed them as a deco for a guest book table.  Did some preparation a couple of days ahead. I was kind a nervous actually as it's been years since my last class.

Happy to go with my tool box which was a gift from Jua,  my best friend and my sewn apron.

The demo was supposed to be conducted at 2pm but since session before me took more time so my slot has been brought forward to 3pm. 

Can you see my butterflies in my stomach ??? hahah ..

Up on stage .. i think it was like a bullet train hahaha... just to keep me calm i invited the audience to join me. At least I was not talking alone. And it's more interesting to have it hands on.

Here are the deco props that i shared with the audience... Maybe i can do tutorial here in the blog too.

Newspaper balls glued on broken cup. Elegant and classic look right!

should you have remnants..dont just throw it away but clip it as a ribbon.

and i have that egg carton as the tray...

• flower from recycled water bottles
• flower balls from old news paper and book
• flower balls stand from broken cups and bottle
• frame from a jam bottle
• fabric ribbon from remnants and wooden clips
• extra deco from tree root and pearls

Alhamdulillah the demo went well and the lucky audience got the favors from me.

Because of Emerald ...

Emerald : A lively, radiant, lush green - the Color of the year 2013.

Even it's last year color .. the color somehow still blend in 2014.

source : http://www.pantone.com

was requested to do a few stalks of Bunga Telor. Gave 4 samples for client to choose. Alhamdulillah she chose the one with purple ribbon and flowers design. Just that i have to change the ribbon and flowers to Emerald color.

Faced a few hick ups due to shortage of supply and not so much of choices of Emerald flowers in Kuantan. Thus end up to a conclusion to used hues of green flowers and the ribbon going to be in Emerald.

The job was really based on trust ...and thanks Datin for your trust in me.  I just make the arrangement and deal with her Personal Assistant who's happened to be a good friend of mine. Which makes the deal much easier :)

tadaaaa .... the outcome !

The bouquets safely delivered at her office in Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur.

And very glad that she's really happy with the outcome. Thanks again Datin and Marisa.

safinaz yusof - a little bliss in every moment

Hantaran for Zayati and Zainol

The wedding was last week in Kuantan, Pahang.
I did for both the bride and the groom side.

from bride to groom :

theme chose - white and cream , yeah this time around used artificial flowers as requested.  used pillow and mirror  as the base. also one roll of pearl and a few rolls of off-white  satin polka dots ribbon with white organza ribbon for extra deco.

somehow with the mirror, it gave the glam look for the simple tray. from a simple deco to outstanding look.

as from the groom to the bride : chose pastel colors .. blend of soft pink, cream, white, gold and nude color. we keep it as sweet as we could.

and that gave the result of the happy bride.. congratulation Zeti.

Project after Ramadhan ..

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri & Maaf Zahir Batin ... hehehe...its almost over baru nak wish.

Been busy with Raya cookies project during Ramadhan .. balik kampung, visiting and all.  After all, alhamdulillah was great Ramadhan indeed.

A week after Raya, I had to rush back to Kuala Lumpur for a wedding task.  Small task actually. Wedding hantaran for a young couple.  Had to deliver the trays to Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

7 trays all together and used artificial flowers ( easier for me heheh )

• Sirih Junjung
• Mas Kahwin & Ring
• Quran & Telekung
• Handbag & Purse
• Perfume
• Watch
• Cup Cakes

The groom's mom has requested to have Mas Kahwin to be arranged as the old days .. i.e.. kena la gubah instead of just display the notes inside the frame :) ..so lets do the traditional way, fold the notes.

so...Tadaaaa ... it's been a long time after my last notes arrangement like this ..

Went off to deliver the trays around 630pm as the solemnization starts after Isyak.  Thanks to Suhairah and son for accompany me to Nilai. We had a great time yea ..

Thanks to Kak Aimi the groom's mom for having me as your hantaran decorator.  Till next project InsyaAllah.

Some Centerpiece ideas in Inspirasi Perkahwinan June 2014

Alhamdulillah, my work has been published in Inspirasi Perkahwinan magazine for June 2014 issue.
The photoshoot was done somewhere last month. With all the hick ups the photoshoot was smoothly conducted.  Kinda routine to have last minute request for a photoshoot from them but I'm always open to provide materials for their magazine. More than happy to be part in contributing ideas to all readers out there.  Hope I'm able to reach their needs :) !..

for this issue I'm supposed to create a few centerpieces.  And i came out with a few deco centerpieces

and also take away centerpieces ( the guest can bring home the centerpiece ! - its easier for both the guest and the host ! - hassle free ) . I may suggest this concept for " Close " ceremony for close families and friends. .. if you have 1000 guests or more you might want to hire people to give the favors.

So help yourself to get the copy ... tq for IP team for always having me in their magazine.

Bunga Pahar or Bunga Telur

Alhamdulillah they are all done. After long break I'm getting my fingers ready to get the Bunga Pahar or some called as Bunga Telur done.  The last bunga pahar was done a few years ago.

Received request from a lovely Auntie who I just met recently. The flowers are for her niece who is getting married next 8th June. She's looking for an off-white color of flower to fit the dias / pelamin.
Browsed a few wedding store to fine suitable flowers / materials to be used. End up found these off-white foam flowers in one of the shops in Kuantan.

Got home and cut all the required ribbons. quite number of rolls ... kejang juga tangan after so long didn't get in touch with the bunga telur thingy hahha...padan muka.!!!!

for final touch up i put small diamond to enhance some bling to the flowers.  All done and i shall pack them up and deliver to Kuala Lumpur .. ya I'm back and forth KL - Ktn ... get used to it already. Alhamdulillah even I'm here in Kuantan I still have my clients back in KL. and of course I love to serve them all.

I'll be off to KL tomorrow to pick up my order from Floristika...ya picking up fresh flowers for this weekend's wedding. FyI, fresh flowers in Kuantan mahal sangat. Rather go back to KL and get my supplies. And I'll be happy ...hehheh...

Okay, done for today...need to prepare some baking stuff tonite..
