Sing me 'I DO'

This was a lovely May wedding surprise. The couple were related to a close friend Sharon Lam and had not thought about flowers or decoration for the church - so I happily pitched in to help.
KC and Gen were lovely! They met while acting and singing in a musical, and that was that!
They were the most un-fussy and down to earth couple you would ever meet.
He wore a tuxedo and tails! and the bride wore a lovely A line ivory dress.They exude this old world charm how could I not help out.
so enough about the couple - the flowers!- it was to be very simple. the colour scheme was really taken from what we already had - I picked lavender (from the cards that were meant to be printed blue but turned out lavender) burgundy cos the bridesmaid dress was burgundy and white from the bride's dress! the style of the flowers were borrowed from English country style which I thought went well with the character of the couple.I used chrysanthemums in little silver buckets for the pews, and the same flowers for the bride and bridesmaid's bouquet.
It was great to be given the opportunity to work with this couple - even more to be able to witness a wedding so full of love and regard. The church was packed with their family and friends of from different walks of life! Judging by their friends who were all easy going and who pitched up to help out with the set up at the church, it was obvious that these two have love all around them. Their friends even put on the entertainment after the ceremony and made a whole lot of lovely noise while guests ate lunch.
for all the lip-service our politicians are doing for 1Malaysia - KC, Gen and friends achieved it just by being themselves.
