occidental preoccupation

the wedding reception following the majlis akad nikah in Kajang was held at the Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur, the very next day. but contrary to the traditional majlis, the look of this reception highlighted the client's fancy for the colors and feel of a faraway land decked in wisterias.  to lavish the spaces in and around the ballroom with real wisterias would be tantamount to committing a futile and insane act.  therefore, to fulfill the wishes of our dear client, we shipped in a consignment of premium-grade artificial wisterias in shades of purple, green and white.  with the help of digital imageries and the magical touch of our angels, we created a believable far-off country orchard replete with a path, an arbor and a gazebo all adorned with wisterias and complementary fresh flowers.  even the wedding cake was given a floral makeover.  have a look...

upon the wings of angels

the ambiance inside the ballroom during Jovian and Nina's second reception reflected the muted resonance outside.  but there was definitely romance in the air with the addition of lush gatherings of white phalaenopsis orchids as table centerpieces and butterflies that alighted on the apple blossoms and wisterias.  the gebogan centerpieces seemed content with their previous night's enchantments and observed the day's proceedings in quiet contemplation.   the splendid pelamin with the balinese door panels was replaced by a dramatic pelamin with outstretched wings that embraced the couple during their bersanding ceremony.  Jovian certainly had angelic thoughts when he envisioned its design, it seemed.  our angels had more earthly thoughts when they lavished the pelamin with flowers and more flowers.  the floor was less dense with fewer tables.  more space was afforded to the dance floor below the raining wisterias which sprouted graceful appendages that reached out to shade the newlyweds as they danced away at the end of the event.  we wish the best for Jovian and Nina, and may Allah bless their romance forever and ever.

a long walk to forever

it's always a delight for our angels to work around beautiful architectural surroundings.  because instead of otherwise struggling to cover worrying sights, our angels can truly focus all efforts on what they do best.  so when Jovian decided to have his big day at the former Istana Negara (now, Muzium Diraja), we reckon it was a great choice for a venue.  with endless corridors and passages, the Istana provided ample space and surfaces for our angels to explore.  the following images illustrate the paths that Jovian and Nina took to get to the lovingly adorned sweetheart table where the newlyweds sat to dine with their respective parents in front of an audience of dining and adoring guests.
