{Real Wedding} Shades of Pink

Modern Wedding Posted: August 20, 2012

Oh Monday…it comes too quickly and lasts too long – the exact opposite of our wedding day which for some is a long time coming and for everybody goes in the blink of an eye. Lucky for us we’re in the business of weddings and these celebrations of love have the power to cure even the most severe case of Monday blues.

This real wedding caught my eye with the beautiful shades of pink that feature throughout the wedding from the flowers, to the bridesmaid’s dress and reception decorations. Pink is one of those colours that will never lose favour among brides, partly because of its ability to reinvent itself in a million different shades.

The Proposal…

The proposal happened to be in Singapore. I got a very bad flu that day and spent half of the day in bed.  I then went out with a good friend of mine for a catch up dinner. Calvin said he wanted to take a look at the new Marina Bay Sands Hotel & Casino, which was across from our hotel. When I came back from the dinner, he was on one knee and surprised me with the engagement ring on a small teddy bear with red roses.

Theme…

We didn’t really have a theme, but we knew that we wanted a non-traditional private, close, intimate wedding and we didn’t want to bore our guests. We tried to match up with our reception place which is a private, heritage venue, not far from Sydney CBD.

Colours…

Peach, pink and pastel colours.

Decorations…

The reception venue had its own special feature; a private garden where guests can mingle outdoors and indoors. We decorated the indoor waiting area with our engagement photos displayed on small tables with a few table props that we purchased when we were overseas. We borrowed cake designer vintage metal bird cage props, with hanging cookie birds inside. A DIY photo booth corner was set up and Fuji Instax Camera so that our friends could take funny pictures and enjoy themselves.

We made our own table seating plan and menu card using our wedding invitations as our template. Each guest table had 2 small vases filled with unstructured flowers with similar colours as my bouquet. We let the guests take the flowers home with them as souvenirs.

Details…

We organised a magician to perform and entertain our guests with his magic techniques, he even brought his dove and a rabbit. Guests received alternate favours, bird shaped salt and paper shaker which came in a small package with peach ribbon on the top.

Honeymoon…

We didn’t go on our honeymoon straight away; we’ll be going to go to Europe 6 months after our wedding reception and we’ll be having another small celebration with close family and friends in Malaysia before departing for our honeymoon.
