Early May 2015, been such a hectic week as due for back to back deco work.

8^th May 2015 a reunion dinner deco and 9^th May hantaran wedding deco.

Luckily both happened in Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur so still able to cope.

Really looking forward for the reunion deco work and it was very first deco work at Pullman, Putrajaya.

Before engaging with candles, lantern and flowers… as usual I will go for site visit and look around the space. Nice cozy ambiance for a romantic dinner by the lake side. With candles around would definitely brings up the mood.

The deco work was done on the actual day after Friday Prayer. I was lucky to have supportive assistants around. The deco was pretty much straight forward so finished the setting up much earlier.

We welcome the guest with sheer curtain and white, grey, light blue paper lanterns dangled along the entrance and candles along the walk path to the dinner area.

As for the centerpieces, we had the candles glasses and flower vases wrapped with denim just to match the theme for the night. And four tables with blue classic lantern representing denim too.

For the soft touch we used baby breath and white daisies. And yeah, mirror as the base for reflection effects.

Alhamdulillah, the client really happy with the simple yet welcoming outcome. I was more than happy and without help from the assistants I may not accomplished the project well. Thank you Dida, Wani, Jaja and Jojie.

And once done we celebrated with Nasi Arab at Sabaa in Cyberjaya and we called it a night with happy tummy … J

Till another deco work ...

Handmade Door Gift done for a school reunion

Received a request from my former primary mate ( sekolah rendah gombak setia - yes, i was the former student in Gombak before moved to Petaling Jaya in 1986 ).  50 pax of twine coasters as a door gift for her secondary school reunion. 

Took me a few days to get it done with number of stages. From soaking the cotton twine, drying them  until the packaging stage. Oh ya ..A box consist of 4 coasters. Meaning 50pax x 4pcs = 200pcs manually done..yes, manually..ie handmade :) ...

fyi, i soaked the cotton twine by using food coloring.

Colored the twine according to theme color of the event. I did 2pcs of  blue and 2pcs original color.

luckily it was sunny days to let them dried ...

oh that was my lunch during one of my days making coasters

Most of the work was done in Kuantan and two days before the delivery headed to Kuala Lumpur because i have another task to be done there. So, continue the unfinished work at my brother's place.

With sleepless nights... finally the coasters done ... and nicely packed in a transparent boxes.

    handwritten label and secured with cotton twine.

Hantaran, Hand Bouquet and Wedding Cake

Delayed posting .. as usual :) .

Would love to share my work last May 2014. Done a few deco for my brother's wedding.
I chose  LESS is MORE concept ... white roses, eustoma, and okay i forgot the name of the purple flowers used for the hantaran. to enhance the sophisticated look, a few dangling silver chain were put along the tray.  and small cuts mirror stand .. i love it !

if you look closely ..it's actually 1 tray consist of 3 things : Quran, Ring and also the Mas Kahwin. 

thats for my brother.. and i got a request from my SIL ( Sister in Law ) to do her hand bouquet and wedding cake..requested to have carrot cake which is her favorite .. For the cake, made an attempt to use my soap flower skill for the sugar flowers.. ya, i don't go for cake deco classes. It's all suka hati taram jer ..hahahah ... but i think it turned out lovely. My auntie complimented it as Enchanted Carrot Cake :) ..

Alhamdulillah the wedding went well and hope Allah s.w.t shower them with all his blessing. Ameen.

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..
