layout: tables were arranged into long banquet tables, just like grand dining halls of the past. pillars were draped in soft blue and muted gold silk and further embellished with golden bayleaf garlands made into wreaths. motifs such as wreaths and the fleur de lis were repeated onto many more areas to carry forth the whole royal french theme. gold bayleaves were also hung along the doors (not really visible from here). for those who attended the event, you would also realise we avoided decor for the aisle leading up to the dais. the reason behind this was again to direct the focus on the dais and leave the area spacious.
table centrepieces: hydrangeas and peonies accompanied by other complementing wild blooms were our floral choices. shades of white, baby pink and fuschia especially were added for some contrast against the powder blue linens. apart from those, verre églomisé pieces (definitely my favourite buy of this project!)and genuine ostrich plumes were further added to give the hall a more regal feel.
the bridal table: clear glassware and china with gilded designs were used at the bridal table. our mother was generous (and brave) enough to rent her pink ainsley tea cups with the most gorgeous gold details. these are not being produced anymore sadly :( the bride and groom were each given a posy of white peonies. a pavlova (not done up yet in this pic) topped with berries, chocolate tarts and macarons accompanied the wedding cake which we used as the main table centrepiece for the bridal table.
the cake: to complement the whole design, the cake was blue based with gold details. more on this in another post!
the buffet area: hedges and pine trees were placed at the buffet area to provide a parterre concept feel famous to french gardens. a small guest seating area set under a parasol was also added. white organza drapes with wreaths and fleur de lis prints were made backdrops too.
the dessert bar: as a prelude to the next post, here's a sneak peek shot of our dessert bar creation!
its amazing how time flew by and now see myself writing about the work we have completed. Project V is a special project for us for a couple of reasons. mainly, we hope for our clients and potential clients to understand how the design process at TWC functions. detail is everything - that's a fact and that's also how we work. we relish every challenge that comes by in interpreting people's design inspiration. we take it very seriously too and always try our best to maximize the budget we have work within! we hope this project V series provided greater insight to our work and a sincere thank you all for the awesome support ;)
Insanely gorgeous!!! Well done x1000000
