eggplants and limes anyone?

May weddings are always fun - it is like that middle of the year break where everyone gets together to have fun, drink and be merry - and lots of dancing -
of course yours truly was working working working - but somehow found time to party ;)

so - the bride and groom story - now this one is really the clincher... they met a long time ago - liked each other's company and dated. Then the bride got itchy feet and decided to let her career take her where it would (sounds familiar but NO it is not me ;) ) years later the bride returned to home country, bumped into mr original and it was like she never left - all this time he was right there under her nose ;)
and they looked lovely together -  most importantly happy and smiley.

the wedding took up two weekends. The first one was in melaka, the bride's home town. I did not do very much for this one, but just the groom's and bride's home.

the second weekend were the two dinners. one at passion road, and the other was at the groom's home.
Now this one was a HUGE deal. the colour theme was purple and white - of course I could not leave well enough alone - and so added the green to the combo to bring the purple in the bride's contact lenses - hahaha ok ok I just added that for extra ;)

I used orchids mainly - the groom's mum loveeeeees these, and the bride very sweetly agreed to the choice of flowers - talk about scoring brownie points early huh.
and I thought it would be interesting to pair the long sinewy stems of the orchids with round fruit - so I added eggplants, limes and chillies to the mix - perfect for the hot, sweet and tangy couple ;)

these photos are my sad attempts with my iphone - except for the first two which I pinched from a friend of the bride and groom ;) - i promise to replace my sad attempt with the official ones soon ;)
