Wedding & Events Planner
I finally watched the Great Gatsby. I was a bit disappointed with the ending. I am a romantic and I like to believe in the happily ever after endings which clearly this was not. I guess I expected another Moulin Rouge from Baz Luhrmann.
That aside I love the passion that Gatsby had for Daisy. His whole life revolved around it.
So I thought I’d put together an inspiration board of my take of that passion.
Have a great Monday!
I was enjoying a bowl of blueberries and cream this morning and a thought came to mind – the sweet taste of cream coupled with wild blueberries would make a very elegant wedding theme. Wild blueberries express a sense of adventure. The ivory shade of cream portrays purity and innocence. Periwinkle was added to it to subdue the wildness of blueberries, leaving a sense of elegance. This is an inspiration board with the idea:
Our latest inspiration board featuring the classic Sleeping Beauty with modern ballet elements. A theme for the lovers who found each other through dance and believe in true love.

Sometimes when working on a board, a sound or a song inspires me. When creating this board – this song inspired me:

Have a great Sunday readers!
This blog post is long overdue.
We recently styled and event managed ‘Making Stories, Telling Stories’ in conjunction with our client’s (MoonShadow Stories) celebration of World Storytelling Day 2013. We were to design the event room layout which lends itself to the theme of the event which was around shadows as this was a Shadow Puppet Performance and Workshop.
Since we were talking about shadows and candles were considered a fire hazard, my team and I decided we would work on a classic black and white theme. We would create silhouettes to replicate a shadow effect. We also incorporated elements of the Malaysian Rainforest as the stories told at the event were Malayan folktales. To subdue the bold contrast of black and white, we added black and white plaided ribbons to stationery.
The event went on smoothly with minor hiccups. I was very happy to see how relaxed our client was at the event. She placed her trust in us in managing the event for her so that she could focus on her performance, which she did.
This event also marks the first event for our Dream Weaver – Soma Rachel George, who did a splendid job. See how natural she is with the kids and dressed in theme!
Selected photos of the event will posted up in our gallery soon. So stay tuned!

A girl was choosing mangoes at a local market. As she picked up each mango to check its ripeness, a child out of no where, ran into her, pushed her forward, and she hit the mango cart! The mangoes rolled off the cart and the child ran off.
In a panic she bent down and tried to grab all the fallen fruit. As she reached out for one juicy yellow mango, to her surprise, another hand grabbed it first!
She looked up to a pair of brown eyes staring straight into her own. “Need help with the mangoes?” he asked. She was too busy admiring his beauty and no words came from her lips…
It was love at first sight!
I decided to style this wedding mood board inspired by a yellow mango I was eating last week. If the story above was real, wouldn’t it be such an exotic idea for a wedding theme?
I’ve heard the notion that “DIY events are only for artistic people” way too many times. This is not the case. The words DIY (Do-it-yourself) itself suggest that anyone can create.
I have decided to publish a series of easy DIY crafts on my blog which you can learn. I aim to show you how easy it is to create DIY crafts for your event.
The first of my DIY Craft Series is on creating centerpieces with a simple flower in a bottle:
You can use any kind of flower/plant so long as it fits into the bottle.
Have fun making this craft and when you do – please share your photos with us! We would love to see what you have come up with!
This week I was inspired by a traffic light and how it symbolises marriage to a certain extent. This inspiration board was created as I was curious to see what a traffic light would look like as a wedding theme. What do you think?
In the traffic light mood – I wrote a little poem to explain the traffic light concept in marriage.
Traffic light marriage
Marriage is like a traffic light at a pedestrian crossing.
Somedays are green;
you are on the go
and the relationship just grows.
Somedays are red;
you have to stop
and notice your partner
as you vowed to do so.
Somedays are yellow;
you are piled with decisions to make,
which either way will have an impact on your relationship.
Then there are the pedestrians –
friends and acquaintances,
social networks and the media,
consistently telling you how to stay married
and how not to.
Regardless of the volume of these pedestrians,
Marriage is like a traffic light – it just works!
Why not have a snow leopard print in your wedding palate?
Just another idea by us!
