November Wedding at Burkill Hall

Our November Wedding at Burkill Hall was for the cool couple Sharina and Rahim.
Situated amidst the lush and beautiful greeneries of Orchid Garden, 
Burkill exudes a raw and charming beauty that's both rustic yet fresh.

Given sufficient time, we would have loved to work in more details into their styling...
because really, this place has the potential to look beyond stunning.
But 2 hrs were all we had to prepare the 2 storeyed Bungalow from scratch.
Further to that, our precious planned 2 hour work was
compromised by circumstances beyond our control.
Lucky for us though, the extra crew our couple has agreed to let us hire, was,
like our own great crew, tremendously efficient and proactive.
They maximised every single minute left and
made the best of the situation with their positive attitude.
Thanks guys!!! :)

Perhaps one day we'll get the opportunity to gingerly style a sit-down dinner,
complete with elaborate and detailed tablescaping...
But for now, we hope our couple have enjoyed their big day at Burkill,
 as much as we have enjoyed styling it for them.
May they be blessed with a beautiful life together.


A symphony of rich chocolate cakes for that rustic yet classy touch.

 Our new mocha walls, which we insisted on using, made a significant difference to the hallscape...yet they looked so natural...almost as if they belonged right there in Burkill.

Our couple loves simplicity.
And like any person who appreciates gd design,
they understand that the simpler the look is, the more work will be needed to ensure quality.

After seeing our styling at Arts House,
Sharina wanted us to use this same vintage bicycle for her dais as well.
We were more than happy to let our loyal 'old scoot' take centrestage again :)

With insufficient supply of tables, we only got a table to work on, 5 minutes before the start of event.
So we took all of 3 minutes to prepare that whole corner.
Mariah and I never sweated so much. LOL

Bright and airy, this Bungalow accommodated almost 2000 guests with much charm and flamboyance.





How we love this balcony, over looking the gorgeous Orchid Garden...

Invites

We love postcard style invites for so many reasons.
Apart from being stylish and fuss-free, 
we love that it's paper conservative and hence earth friendly.
We're animal lovers and nature enthusiasts...
and nature is where we normally draw much of our inspiration from.
Hence while we love creating beautiful events and fine stationeries, 
we strive to use the minimum necessary, and give back whenever possible.
Even when working with fresh flowers and plants,
we emphasize much on using only the necessary,
 and treating them with much care, 
for as long as their beautiful life permits.

We're glad our couple Faizal and Maisara love their invite.
We're now looking forward to styling their event soon.

In collaboration with Haz Workz

Flowers for Eid

Here's just sharing one of the faux floral arrangements I prepared for my home, during Eid this year. 
Sis made some gorgeous ones for her home, 
but I was too busy eating her even more gorgeous dishes, to even bother snapping pics. 
But then again ,who cares....it was Eid after all...feasting took centrestage.



Invites

 Invites and fine stationeries for all occassions, by Mariah & Sham and Haz Workz.
(As nature lovers, we highly recommend the use of recyclable and recycled materials. 
Not only are they more earth friendly, they're gorgeous too.)
 
  

 We also love doing bespoke calligraphy designing, monogram designing and hand drawing of maps.
They simply infuse charm into any invites.
Here's looking forward to great opportunities.
Have a great day ahead, everyone!

Hotel - Before & After

Even hotels need styling sometimes.
And we're excited for the hotel styling projects we have, slated for 2014 and 2015.

Meanwhile, for those wondering if hotel styling is necessary,
 given the already complete dining setup, it's entirely up to you. 
Because while hotels provide dining setups, complete with tableware and cutleries,
you can still choose to add that personal touch or create the look you love, 
by infusing a bit more styling.

When our couple Syah & Jannah came to us more than a year ago, 
they wanted us to help work their ballroom out. 
And we tried our best for them.

 Many guests loved the hotel's ballroom.
What they didn't know however,
 was the amount of 'canvass' work we had done to overhaul
the interior, stage, tablescapes and infact the whole mood and feel of the ballroom.

This was what it looked like BEFORE,
and what our couple's wedding would have potentially looked like.


Even the hotel's floor manager was impressed when we transformed the whole place,
all within 2 hours.
He never thought his ballroom could look like that. LOL.

Thanks to our wonderful wonderful crew!
We also had family and friends helping out...
and so we had so much fun cramming everything in 2 hrs!

Those who have not seen the AFTER, here it is, our laduree inspired styling, again...

 
 We even transformed the tablescaping to make every table unique

 Only fresh flowers throughout

 
 Tulips and exotic blooms

 Customised table numbers

 Exquisite tableware

 We made monogrammed napkins for the couple







 




Nothing beats fine details and personal touches....
cos that's what makes any couple's wedding day unique and magical.
So yes, even if you're holding your wedding in one of the finest hotels around,
styling it can still make all the difference.

Ammar and Fatin

Ammar and Fatin.
Another wonderful and handsome couple we have loved loved loved working with.
Right from day 1, they have been very easy going, trusting, appreciative, fuss-free and kind.
 
Needless to say, we enjoyed styling their event at the SIA Sports Club last weekend, and just like their calm and composed demeanor, their event went on very smoothly.

We did a sleek classy London look for them.
Playing with the typical colours of London, we used only white,
 black, green and hints of red/maroon and brown.

  The Dais (Stage), conceptualized and created from scratch.

   Ammar and Fatin's vow to each other.
Name calligraphy was designed by hand @ Haz Workz, our other family biz.
Spot the couple's calligraphy monogram on top of the door.
 
Different textures and forms of white, black, green and red...

Sweet treats for that added personal touch and homeliness


Again, we broke away from the typical dais concept.

Details...

Fine tableware.


Gorgeous chrome flute vases by TWC.

 

Chiavaris by Fadly @ our yet another family biz arm.

The invite, with commissioned calligraphy and design, by Haz Workz.

Again, our million thanks to our wonderful wonderful crew :)

Classy London, our inspiration.
