Table setting & Centrepieces

 

Above: Excuse me for the darken photo shot :)  The table linen is crepe vanila.  (It looks like need some ironing... in this photo  hahah).  |   Below: Head table setting.  I have chosen bronze crepe.

 

 

 

I was very lucky to have centrepieces provided by Jockey Club.  And I think they did a great job.  I was told to have French vanila roses.  And I never expected they will be arranged in such stylish way!  (They should update their sample photos for centrepieces.)

And the centrepieces matched my DIY program.

 

 

A closer look to my DIY program

Before the lunnar new year,  I had purchased a new cabinet from Ikea for storage such that my craft tools, books, paper stock and all kinds of crystals and beads could have a better home...  However, I realized I seldom close the doors of the cabinet as they are too heavy and inconvenient. 

My craft corner remains in cluster. hahaah!  (But I will shut all the doors if guests are expected)

 

Bottom: My jewelery stock

 

P.S. Special thanks to the handy man who composed the cabinet! (heheh of course is Mr. Jujube la)

I am a fan of mushroom.  For example Triple Os' mushroom burger, California Pizza Kitchen's mushroom and cream pasta, pepperoni and mushroom pizza.  I am thrilled that there are fresh brown and button mushroom sold in supermarket these days.  Here is my secret quickie recipe :) 

 

1) Clean mushroom with a kitchen tissue. I was told do not wash the mushroom.  (You may wet the tissue a little and wipe off the mud on the mushroom.) 

2) Prepare sauce - soften butter in room temperature and then add in 1 clove of garlic (minced)

3) Sprinkle oliver oil on a foil to prevent mushroom get burn. 

4) Place mushroom on the foil, stuff in the sauce prepared, season with black pepper and all purpose herbs / basil. Do not add salt yet as it will make the mushroom watery during cooking.

5) Fold the foil into a bag and pop non-stick pan with a lit.

6) Cook for 2-3 mins in high heat.

7) Sprinkle salt while serve.

 

Yummy :)

Miracle Florist

 

I found Yan from Miracle via Yahoo blogger.  I think I was so lucky as it is not that easy to find a florist within the right budget and the same style and taste. 

 

I am proud to tell you that the bouquet is based on my design and Yan got it with those finaly elegant touches.  I have chose orchids and peonies and vivid fuchsia / purple ribbons and then left it in good hands of Yan!  She rocks!   

 

I was so regretted that I did not take a good photo for my bouquet, boutonnieres and corsages.  I thought my photographer would have a moment to capture those.  However, it was not.  My lovely maid of honor has taken some photos for those.  Lucky me!

Little tips:

 

1) Confirm the bouquet 3 weeks before your wedding.   Trust me, you keep on changing your mind! heheeh

 

2) Do research before you meet your florist.  You may like to visit some wedding websites such as Martha Stewart, brides.com, weddingchannel.com.  There are plenty of photos for you to see in different color schemes.  I think it is the best way to confirm your choice / style :)

 

3) Relate the bouquet with your personality!  I have give up a white bouquet as I want to be a charming and energetic young bride :D 

 

4) Relate the bouquet with your wedding gown!  I am petite and had a very simple wedding gown. So I chose a bouquet with a vivid statement.
