Balloons & Me!

There I was drowning in the sea of balloons we collected for Shermaine & Congren's wedding venue decor yesterday. At a ripe old age, it still felt kinda fun 'prancing' around with two bunches of helium balloons hahaha.. A little baby gal in awe tried to poke my balloons with her straw!

See how full the car was! Managed to get a head space among the heart-shaped balloons. People on the streets were rather amused when our car drove pass them.

Uncle William was really nice to come by to help take pics of the venue decor that we did under the sweltering heat yesterday! Pretty sure I got a tan from working under the sun. Can't wait to see the pics! All decor projects will be managed under Vanilla House Creations. We are still working on the website, fb and stuff. Will give a shout when they are up and ready :D

Table number place card

Spent the weekend doing prep work for Congren & Shermaine's wedding on 29 July. During the recce at the restaurant, Congren asked the restaurant manager to have number place cards for all the tables to facilitate guests looking for their seats. Upon hearing that, we suggested for Congren to let us incorporate the place cards into the table centrepieces we are creating. Was playing around with fonts, card size and stuff; finally decided on this. I personally don't fancy those place cards provided by hotels and restaurants. You don't need fancy graphic design programs for a simple place card. Microsoft Word program can do the trick. By choosing the right font, printing paper.., you can get something simple and chic. Will post photos of our table centrepiece creation after the wedding :)

My favourite piece of work!

Extremely pleased with my latest work from class :) Made purely from clay. All I can say is I LOVE IT!

Pom Poms

Preparing for a bright and cheery wedding at the end of this month for Shermaine and Congren. Wanted to make some pom pom balls to dress up the venue. The organza flowerballs I made earlier were easier to handle, gave a more define rounded shape and instant volume. But the choice of organza colours weren't as bright and intense compared to those of paper napkins. And given the really short timeline, it would also be quite tedious to use the sewing method on normal bright coloured cloth. So yesterday, I decided to buy some paper napkins to experiment. The poms made from paper napkins gave a more fun feel. But I think I will need to fold in more napkins to make the ball fuller. And I have to be very gentle as the napkins are really delicate!
