Some like it hot.... pink!

Finally here comes July and I am pleased to have gone through those busy May and June wedding months smoothly. Unavoidable hiccups here and there but we must embrace those as an opportunity to strengthen our team and to improve our professional skills. Sounds simple but I can't tell you how many times we have pulled our hair :-).

Enjoying a quiet moment today, I could not help but write the story of one event in last December. I can still remember the process of making this fun fuchsia wedding bouquet together with our client and her wedding planner. She chose just one color and used only this beautiful tropical climbers paper like flowers called bougainvillea. From flower showers, flower aisles, cocktail centerpieces to dinner table and flower hanging installations. Bougainvilleas were everywhere and it's hot pink hues made me joyful.

The bouquet was hand tied, an unstructured kind of oval shape of obviously bougainvilleas tied with dried pandan leaves around the stems. We added ferns leaves and wild berries as an accent to this big bunch bouquet.

We had a bamboo platform that was decorated with scattered flowers, trailing ivy leaves and aerial roots. Banana cones filled with flower petals and the aisles were covered with our bougainvilleas. The ceremony felt intimate as family and close friends gathered in this kind of non formal seated ceremony.

The dinner tables were decorated with flower table runners overhanging at both sides of the table. The gold lanterns and votive holders are coming from the wedding planner and the unique resin goodies are produced by the Bride itself. You can find her other products here :-)

Inside the tent, we placed flower installations and hanging flower garlands and greeneries over fairy lights that was installed by the lighting supplier.

The cute lounge sets were brought in by our wedding planner and she decorated them with various cushions and pillows. Accents of floral centerpieces gave a notch to the overall look.

 

This was a renewal vow party that I shall not forget. Happy anniversary to both of you and wishing you all the best for the coming years together forever.... :-).

White chic rustic wedding at Phalosa Villa, Batu Belig

We did this wedding back in October for a nice, fun and easygoing couple from Australia. The bride wanted to have an all white color for the flowers but also wanted to incorporate a rustic-elegant edge. This is where the brown color and wooden element is coming in. The client rented the wooden tables and benches and we provided burlap, twine strings and crates for the wooden theme and kept the rest in white color.

The bride bouquet is an hand tied off white avalanche roses in a posy style with baby’s breaths around the collar and a jute string wrapping up the stem. The bridesmaids are just holding baby’s breaths bouquet that also tied up with jute strings. While the boys are using the same flowers mixtures for their buttonholes as did the girls.

We hanged burlap drapes on the existed pergola, arranged the beautiful wooden benches that the client rented, lined up the floral centerpieces inside jars as an aisle markers, placed a wooden sign and flower cones for flower petals at the back of the aisle.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed the sunset in front of the beach with canapés and cocktails. There we had already prepared the lounge area with cocktail tables and wooden benches sets. Overlooking the beach, the set up was being complemented with small centerpieces, floating candles on the pool and rattan balls from the lighting company.

On top of the dinner table, we placed mirror runners and also white lanterns with baby’s breaths inside burlap jars together with varied jars or bottles accompanied with small votive holders around. The tables looked inviting at night with the flickering candles and warm lights coming out from our bulbs hanged randomly over the dinner table. I could see from where I was standing, those yellow bursts from the dinner area making the blue – bright sky really standing out. As I enjoyed the work we had done, I saw the couple standing still for a while embracing the moments and smiling.

Simple fun tropical

Hem.., tropical eclectic? What else should I call this theme? The client liked fun, relaxed themes and we finally settled for a mixed seating arrangement with tropical flowers. Vibrant and pop up color flowers crossed my mind and we decided to use red claw heliconias, purple vanda douglas orchids, fuchsia fanta roses, orange cherry brandy roses, yellow pom pom and red -burgundy parijata berries among other things.

Initially guests will be standing and no flowers were planned for the ceremony but it crossed my mind, since we had a different seating set for dinner, why not just re-use them? So for the ceremony, we used a composition of wooden benches, white ottomans, natural tiffany chairs and as we still wanted to keep things simple, we just added two sets of varied brown metal lanterns at the end of the aisle. To jazz it up, I added red balsams petals inside spreading out to outside. Cute eh? 

 

Re-using the same seating arrangements, we changed the area and brought stuffs in. A natural rectangle table, a white coffee table and decorated the venue with centerpieces, lanterns and tea light candles. I love candles but I'm always nervous using them especially tea light candles as most of the venues that we are using are outdoors and they can be blown away by the wind. Not this time though and I'm glad that we are using them on our dinner tables.

I think the centerpiece for dinner are gorgeous but I could be biased :-) . We use philodendron leaves as  table runners topped with silver metal lanterns with mixed flower tucked in on the sides. Add heliconias inside taller vases and purple vanda orchids with bear grass inside small cylinder vases with our faux mercury votive holders. Wooden benches and natural Tiffany chairs were paired with the wooden rectangle table. Oh yes, don't forget the cushions. They are a nice little details to the seating sets.

For the lounge set, we have the ottomans with white coffee tables decorated with two centerpieces of red ginger torches and green spider mums, one small metal lanterns and two varied brown metal lanterns on the ground next to it.

 

The ambiance is complemented with strings of bulbs above the dinner area, fairy lights on plumeria trees and strings of single floating candles floating on the pool.

Thanks to Lily  from The Bali Wedding Services for sharing  some of the photos with us :-) . Until next time....
