party animals

enchanting, we were told.  indeed.  if only we could populate the setup with actual denizens of a true rainforest.  but lest we ruin the real intent of this reception dinner, suffice it to scatter the treetops with incandescent lights in place of fireflies, bird silhouette lamps for live perching birds, the recorded calls and songs of tree frogs and crickets for the real sounds.   

but the bride was so enamored with the overall look and feel of the decor that she canceled her booking of an afterparty scheduled at another venue, requested the musicians to setup their instruments right beneath the tree canopies and invited her crepuscular friends to celebrate her big day amidst all the enchantments till the wee hours of morning.  of course that meant more to us than any mention of gratitude.

inner beauty

for the launch of this residential project, our angels provided a quasi colonial feel for the decor of the main event area with whitewashed trellis panels and fences, hanging potted begonias and domestic palms in large pots.  to enliven the interior of the featured show house, our angels graced the furnished spaces with exquisite floral gatherings in white and green.

  

into the sublime

we're back! exhausted from all the excitement but eager to share all that we've accomplished. but first let us get back to the promise we made before we left. we've been keeping things under wraps for good measure but now it's time to let it all out. we'll dispense with the gossipy details and impress you with the esthetics instead.

in today's post, we present to you the pelamin that we created for our client's nikah ceremony at his home in bukit tunku. although it was an all-white occasion, we filled the white canvas with a rich array of textures and shapes to create those emotive depth and feel befitting this most auspicious of days.

we started with the walls by draping it with fine curtains of billowy white fabric. at the far end, we erected a double-tiered dais wrapped in luxuriant white carpeting embellished with clusters of oversized pearls and diamond-shaped crystals set upon ruffled white satin. we repeated this embellishment on the outer perimeter of the double-layered backdrop. in the sunken center of the backdrop, we covered the wall with a breathtaking-composition of giant felt blooms in four distinct designs.

in front of the backdrop, we erected a barricade of fabric-covered pedestals in varying heights decked with fresh gatherings of white roses, brassicas and hydrangeas. we lined the bases of the pedestals with more of the oversized felt blooms. beyond the floral barricade, we arranged two clusters of fresh blooms set upon slim pedestals wrapped in corduroy and ringed with pearl-encrusted ribbons. the cluster on the left consisted of posies of white astilbes and white tulips while the cluster on the right consisted of posies of white lilacs on beds of white hydrangeas. at the bases of the clusters, more giant felt blooms!

on the settee we set upon the dais, we laid out plush cushions either in covers of beaded-pearls or translucent sequin-trimmed terry cloth. we finished off the royal seating arrangement with a pair of handmade ostrich plume fans embellished with clusters of pearls and sprinkled with diamantes. the details beget the drama, darling!
