Chinese Wedding Reception Area

my cousin & cousin-in-law arranged this setting for our friend's wedding reception/waiting area. i love how they mixed elegance through porcelain with the free-spirited flowers and craft papers.

 

the antique dresser/console is from the bride's home.

 

dimsum and takeaways anyone? :)

 

pre-nup pictures of the couples

 Suy folded each and every fortune cookie for the guests to pick during registration. Some revealed prizes :) There's also a crossword puzzle for guests to fill up while waiting for the event to start, and of course, colorful pencils :)

we just love styling for events & parties :)

more on Table Setting

bed weather

no matter how baaad i want to stay at home today, and curl up in my bed... i have.to.go meet the supplier, canvass, and man our booth construction which lasted til 10:30 PM. *blah* i just sipped a glassful of Berocca, hoping to get well, because tom i will be shopping for fabrics/materials in Divisoria! *mixed emotions* i hope the weather gets better tomorrow... and SO MUST I!

 my favorite books so far :)

...added pops of neon colors from candies on top of my storage cabinet to cheer me up everyday :)

Oasis along Edsa

 hmmm... was supposed to go to Pampanga today and check out the supplier, but due to the awful weather, i was stuck in Manila. What to do? Well, I went to this place (that had intrigued me for some time now) every time I pass by Edsa - the Manila Seedling.

it was quite a sanctuary actually... and my curiosity never failed me :) i was a bit surprised why i never tried visiting this place before. I thought Dangwa was the place to be, but this, by far is at par if you're looking for planted stuff... :) that I wished i had a green thumb too, but *ohwell* i only took pictures of the florals, but the place really looked much like a forest... something i never really thought existed along Edsa :)

i was also surprised to have met there one famous florist my cousin hired at their wedding, Henry Pascual, and he kind of taught me where to get the other things i was looking for :) such convenience :)

Table Setting

The Requirement.

1. Pick a client (made-up client is okay)

2. Choose  an Event and Location where the event will be held.

3. Arrange a Table Setting based on the client's profile, status, etc.

The Result.

"Our Love is like a Tree"  

Client: Newly-wed couples celebrating their 1st anniversary. 

The couples are high school sweethearts :)

Location: The couple have an old family home in Batangas, 

the setting was arranged under a tree, where the husband also proposed to his then girlfriend.

 Theme: Rustic Shabby chic. Casual yet formal.

 

 

 I was lucky enough to have my friend lend me her shabby chic plates and utensils. She graduated culinary, so she had some kind of a collection herself too :)

We added a white charger for contrast.
