Red Black and White Drama - is there any other kind....

So this was major - my largest wedding party and in a verrrrry prestigious hotel in Singapore, and for a partner of weddingfavours who have been very kindly sending business my way.... Talk about pressure!

In addition to all that, the hotel had a wedding luncheon on the same day which only ended at 4.30pm - which gave us realistically only 2 hours to set everything including chair sashes and candles and aisles and entrance pieces up - stressed - YOU BET!

I had four little elves this time, and my husband who were very helpful on the day, and put up with my stressed out self and we pulled it off! the ballroom looked fantastic - and the couple walked in decked in white - verry dramatic ;)

So - we had RED chair bows (yup the kind Mini Mouse wears) on every other chair - all chairs were in white, and the table cloths were black. For the centrepieces, we used jars with the wedding card motif on and the wedding favours in the jars. The wedding favours were red pens with a silk flower and feathers on the end. This way once every guest claimed their favour, the jars could be removed in time for the chinese dinner to be served.

(TIP - this is a great way to save on your flower spend - usually for chinese course dinners these table arrangements get removed, so if you are on a budget, try and come up with other ideas for the table centre that you won't feel so bad when it gets removed - get your florist to help ;) )







The couple had in mind roses and cage like arrangements, and so i worked on a style that was in the same vein but with different touches - mainly black feathers, tall willows spray painted in black, lanterns instead of cages etc...

The stage and the entrance pieces were the same, while the aisle were smaller pieces - rattan cage balls with red roses clumped together all over - i loved this effect. It was the first time i had attempted something like this, and was very pleased with the effect.

The two main tables were tall arrangements with roses and other red and black foliage, with beads hanging down - I kept tables simple with candles and minimal petals for a clean look.

There was also a candy table for which the main arrangements was done in feathers, and a few small rose blocks - there was so much candy on offer there was hardly any place for flowers!!!
I was pleased with the effect of this, and pleased we pulled it off in such a short time for set up - complete with a few transport dramas!!
