Bicycle built for two

The Flourist finally got to do a wedding that featured decorating two of our favourite things...a bicycle and a mini cooper ;)

We booked this December wedding quite early on, though some of the details were only finalised closer to the date of the wedding. It was fantastic to be back in the swing of things again, after the short baby break.

The theme was purple and white, and the bride and groom wanted a country look for their wedding. So we used simple heart shaped frame with orchids for pew ends, and tall arrangements for the altar. With the colour theme, we used a lot of orchids for this wedding - from the accessories to the church decoration. The altar arrangements had to be tall to be seen - so we used the idea of a hand bouquet of orchids and adapted it for a vase arrangement. We tinted the water for the altar arrangements to make sure it was in theme...



The wedding was at a church on Tanglin Road, and had an interior decor with wood panelling and wooden pews with plush seats that went well with the country theme. Add to that a bicycle out the front to greet guests at the wedding - the country quirk was perfect. We had such a lot of fun decorating this wedding! For the bicycle we used purple brassica (the cabbage looking flower) and lots of little daisies - the idea was to have a just picked look for the bicycle. We then decked it with ribbon in case the bride and groom decided to use it as their get away vehicle ;)

The only departure from the purple country scene was of course the bridal car... but I love the mini cooper, and obviously so did the couple and it was their day - so who cares if the red clashed with the purple...we simple left out the purple for the car, and used white gerbera daisies and roses and lots of green to make the flowers pop.

and the bride wore lace

The Flourist did a wedding last weekend - it was to be the sweetest wedding so far.

The bride is Malaysian, and the groom a charming lad from Manchester (yes they do make them charming out there). Theirs was a courtship of 5 yrs (yes yes not quite as long as me and D)
and finally they set a date for June (which incidentally happened to be her best friend's wedding anniversary) - so cool right!!!
M looked absolutley moviestar-ish in her lovely lace wedding gown with the killer lace inspired heels, and R so dashing in his suit - certainly cleaned up good - not bad for a shopping trip that lasted about 20 mins!!!

As the bride lives in the UK, her bestfriend and I worked rather closely to arrange things for the wedding - from changing the layout of the ballroom set up, to drapery over the stage and deciding on the decorations.

The theme was white and green, but of course the bridesmaid had to get a teal dress - so i included pink in the wedding accessories (oooh but the teal dress was loverly! and she is allowed to lah after all she is a pretty little thing ;) )

I used lisianthus and eucalyptus leaves, cymbidium  and dendrobium orchids, and cyprus brooms - and the most interesting of all was the inclusion of the succulent cactus in the bouquet and the main table arrangements.
i was so pleased with the effects - esp after trawling sungai buluh garden shops for the right kind ;).

i created hanging decorations from hula hoops and paper - and hung baubles from them - they were so lovely slowly turning from the draft of the vents - lovely lovely lovely - next time I must do more I think - or at least make them a little longer perhaps.
thanks to my little helpers for climbing on the scaffolding to get these all hung up.
candles everywhere and low lighting - sooooo befitting the romance and love at this wedding.

congratulations mr and mrs H.

Again these are my lame photographic attempts just before I ran out the door before the guests arrived... professional ones as soon as i get it ;)
