The preparation for Nazliah’s Big Day started about a week or two, soon after her engagement on the 2nd February 2008. Her theme was 1920 England and her choice of colours were lilac, peach and cream. It was pretty daunting at first, as the engagement were simply superb. (Just scroll down and look for a title “An Elegantly Simple Engagement”.) In our minds, her big day must be equally as good or even better than her engagement, with some budget constraint. Planning and designing her day was exciting, as we have always wanted to do this particular theme with a twist.

Firstly, we got her suits tailored by the same person who did her engagement suit. Secondly, we booked the makeup artists who were, fortunately, available for the dates required. Now, booking for Henna Artist who makes home visits on the other hand was a nightmare. Somehow, it seemed that these ladies planned to have their babies at the same time! They were either in their late stage of pregnancy or in confinement period. After many unfruitful phone calls to almost everyone that we know and at the brink of giving up, Nabila was our savior. She was free, not pregnant and not in confinement period for the required dates. Phew! (more…)

Each couple is unique in their own ways and we try to reflect this uniqueness in their events. One of our clients loved the number seven and the colour green. When one mentions the number seven, many of us would imagine seven individual items grouped together. Nothing more. The Wikipedia in their website, http://en.wikipedia.org, gives a generous and detailed explanation on the number seven. The number seven on the other hand, was aptly reflected during our client’s wedding day. They were in “seventh heaven” that day!

We toyed with several ideas based on this number and finally came out with a theme suitable for their wedding events, both for Akad Nikah and Wedding Receptions. It was based on Edmund Spenser’s allegory, Faerie Queene. What has this allegorical work got to do with the number seven? Ah… that’s another story of its own. Anyway, the theme was a magical fairy land with number seven in prominence - we even had ladybirds on trees. Did you know that ladybirds have 7 spots?
