rudimentary regalia

the royal event in Temerloh was our first assignment that involved the production of a swing to seat a princess and her two brothers all at once.  initially, we tried to source for a readymade swing from the local market.  but we could not find one appropriate for the occasion.  so, we had to design and build one ourselves from scratch.  here's a closer look at our efforts but stay tune for more..

exotic interlude

the akad nikah was followed by the menyarung cincin and bersanding ceremonies all graciously executed on another pelamin across a white-draped hall lined with rows of crystal chiavari chairs.  for these rituals, we created a pelamin that repeated the austere forest element but featured a contemporary representation of the client's refined Malay heritage in the form of a bespoke daybed with accompanying bunga pahars encased in frame pedestals embellished with flower balls.  we scattered stands of flower arrangements swathed in lianas near the walls and hanged them in triplicates from the center of the draped ceiling and the four corners of the hall to render an exotic essence to the atmosphere befitting the extraordinary charm of the bride and groom.

in black and white

recently at the Borneo Convention Center in Kuching, Sarawak, we created an experience that not only enchanted our client and her guests but also enlivened the spirits of our angels.  through a dear friend, the talented production designer Raja Malek, we were introduced to our client, Lynn, who charmed us with her wit and a personal style all her own.  her exotic background as a Sarawakian and her betrothal to a man of African descent inspired Raja Malek and us to dream of a wedding theme like no other.

for the akad nikah ceremony, we erected a pelamin that embodied our client's Sarawak heritage and her love for elements that are simple yet stunning.  the pelamin consisted of a representation of a dipterocarp tree upon a silhouette of other (smaller) trees arranged in a crescent row.  during the actual akad, the groom, the imam and witnesses to the proceeding, all sat beneath the lush white canopy of the dipterocarp.  the seemingly austere set up lent a pure and dignified ambiance to the procedure.  the play of light and shadow created a surreal experience no words can describe.

prologue

in our latest adventure, we collaborated with production designer Raja Malek to charm our client and her guests in Sarawak with elements that we believe will also win your attention.  here's a behind-the -scene sampling of the fresh new looks we created.  stay tune for more!

transcendental traditional

of course a majlis akad nikah is all about tradition.  but the look and feel of the event should transcend customary colors and modest mores to necessitate the aches and yearnings of contemporary culture.  for this majlis held recently in Kajang, we fused traditional silhouettes and continental tastes with contemporary colors for a comely mien befitting the urbane relish of the client.
