25 Jan 2014 - DIY wedding - of garlands, boutonnieres, corsages, bouquet and much more!!!!

So we have been super duper busy for the last few months in preparations for the wedding that took place last Saturday, 25 Jan 2014. I have been restraining myself from writing and blogging earlier so that I did not blow off the whole look for the wedding.

Congratulations again to my bestest of friends, Nonie, on her big day. I am so happy for you and K, thank you for making me your maid-of-honor. Thank you to Myra, my sis and biz partner Aisah, and all the 'gang blakang canteen' of Dunman Sec. Our friendship of over 21 years is endearing and truly treasured.

There are 28 different flowers in the bouquet. Made in the prefered colors of the bride herself. Don't you think she look just perfect?


CORSAGES AND BOUTONNIERES FOR BRIDESMAIDS AND BRIDESMEN


So, the 'gang' had their own handmade corsages and boutonnieres of course! Did you see the 2 flower corsage? Well, that was MINE!! LOL. A lil special for the maid-of-honor ;p

We missed the main person - Myra aka event manager aka Madam supervisor!! Mary!! I dont have your pic. So sorry!!! BUT we love you!!

CANDY BAR


We sourced for all candies in wholesale stores in Sg but ended up buying off from the retails! ;p
Oh, except for the icing biscuits, my sister bought that for a big canister for $40 and had it delivered to our home. Other than that, if you are planning to make your own DIY candy buffet, you can rent the jars from The Love Dovez. We rented 3 jars for $68 but you need to deposit $20 for booking and additional $80 refundable upon returning of the jars.

Our other bestfriend, Dada made the nutella blossoms herself. She has her own baking business called Vanilla Chocolate. OOOOH!!! You should see all the other bakes by her! YUM!

On a boo-boo note, we totally forgot to tag the jars during setup. Such a bummer cos I spent a long time making those tags!!

Sorry I did not have any pictures of the wool ball garlands and craspedias upclose - I was too busy being maid of honor!! But these are the pics from other guests ;p and what we did for the reception and candy buffet table. I bought a bunch of wool felt balls from Nepal (online of course!!) and string them into a garland. I absolutely love the balls. They are uber cute!! Oh, yes, we stained the bottles pink ourselves too! Cant really tell from the pics huh...

Face Painting at Timbre@Gillman

Face painting? YUP! You heard me right. We have always been creating with felt and from our 1st fringe activity with Timbre, we were asked if we could do face painting. Hmmmm....

Despite the anxiety and nervousness, we made it through the day till 9pm. The face painting started at 6pm and well lasted till 9pm with no break in between with painting the faces of beautiful girls and boys for the private birthday party. *birthday boy is 13 years old - can sing so well and is a fine gentleman *

As you can imagine, we have no opportunity at all to snap any pictures as soon as the party started so here's like 2 pictures that I took of Aisah and one of me, or the girl i was painting actually. Oh and the other 2 of this sweet french girl, Mia Chambat, who had her arm painted and of course the picture of us before it all began!! ;p

Video of ETSY Craft Party 2013

Remember our recent Craft Party during the June school holidays? When the skies were all grey and gloomy and not to mentioned - HAZY at 320 psi? YES that craft party!

Thanks to Aisah's lovely friends, Jerrica, Wan, Zaty and Dhivv for making time to take and make our pictures and video on that day.

A craft party is just that - a day that people of all ages come together to make and create. Teaching each other - the young and the old and the creative and the.. erm.. not so much creative juice in their hands ;p

I know that the kids who were present that day really enjoyed themselves. We also have a couple volunteers to help out with changing of the water for the batik painting. Thank you all lovely people for making the day a fun and exciting one.

Let's plan another one?

Highlights of the ETSY Craft Party


 The party begins!  20th June 2013 ETSY CRAFT PARTY

While Singapore was under a big cloud of grey haze from the forest fires in Sumatra, a group of us managed to sneak into a fun and colorful day on 20th June 2013.

Organised by Simply-4-Love sisters, we did some batik painting where everyone gets their own 9x12" piece to bring home and 2 big 30x45"pieces where we paint as a group.

We also did a felt collage garden where creativity makes a piece of green canvas spring to life with colors and shapes!

Indeed, we managed to celebrate the international day of meeting, making and crafting today!  

Through this day, we hope to increase the awareness of handmade in Singapore and at the same time, allow some creativity juices to develop in young children.

Check out more pictures on our facebook page album!
