The Story

Asmaziah (or As to me) works in Brunei and Cheng (Adam) works in Houston, USA and the wedding celebration was to be held in Kuala Klawang, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan; the hometown of the bride. Since her parents are elderly and her siblings are also working 9-5, there is no one who could assist As in the planning stage which she then sought the services of PDP seven months lead time prior to event. With only 4 meetings with As, the almost daily "Whatsapp" chats and countless emails, PDP planned & coordinated her special day with everything that she wanted.

Local Caterer (Rohani Event Catering) was based in Seremban which is in the same state of Negeri Sembilan whilst the rest of the suppliers came from Kuala Lumpur. Decor requirement from As was she wanted the Solemnization Dais (held at Hotel Sri Klawang, Jelebu) to be a fusion of Oriental and Romantic theme so that it does not look awkward for the Tea Ceremony - a case of 2 in 1 decor without having 2 stages for each ceremony. Artificial Cherry Blossom branches (it is not the season for cherry blossom in October!) at the backdrop of the dais and surrounded by Phalaenopsis Orchids in oriental pots, flanked by the Hantaran gifts on the sides of the stage created a stunning but clean-look to the ceremonies.

The Details

The only available venue in Kuala Klawang was the Dewan Besar Majlis Daerah Jelebu which As requested the walls to be draped to reduce the colour yellow in the hall. It can comfortable sit 500 guests but since we had buffet service, we had to knock off about 8 tables in order to create space for the buffet line. The hall has air-condition so it was quite comfortable for the guests (we live in the tropics!). Again, As does not like a cluttered Grand Dais, suffice with simple lines of flowing fabrics in her favourite colour - you guessed it, PINK! Abundance if not overflowing with flowers, Arjuna Cipta created a focal point of warm silver frames that even looked 3 dimensional in photos. Wedding Favors or Door gifts were personalised Sticky Candies for the younger generation and fondant sugar cookies by Maji from Pink Oven Cakes for the elderly. We placed personalised stickers on all door gifts. Photobooth with a simple backdrop for guests to take a Polaroid photo and place it in the guest book along with wishes for the groom and bride who will be moving to Houston soon to join her husband. As and I called it the Insta Guest Book.

Carnival Birthday Theme

Lollipops and popcorn with flowers

I do get requests to create birthday parties and for the month of June, a Carnival theme for a 19 year old was requested. Since I didn't have any weddings to see to, it was just nice for me to plan and create a theme that was not childish but instead colourful and fun for the birthday girl.

I had the privilege of meeting with a very talented photographer, Carlos, who captured the details of the event effortlessly and needed no editing or touching up (to my naked eye and humble opinion). Beautiful contrasting and he managed to capture the essence of the party; which was essentially of Pink, Blue and Yellow.

Floral decor by Theme of Que Rafael who created beautiful arrangement and yet not too formal to add the fun element into the the decor. Since we were in the Carnival circus-y theme but without the animals (of course), coloured paper flowers were created weeks before hand to ensure that we have enough to add to the transparent canopy and the brilliant idea of my right-hand-man, Ajak, to hang the Cotton Candy  around the canopy sealed the look completely.

Although I was a bit skeptical about the menu of Burgers, Hotdogs, Potato Apple Salad and Corn on the Cob, I was reassured when some of the guests (particularly the boys) were ecstatic when they could create a double or triple decker burger of their own! Since they are young adults of 19 years of age, who would want heavy and not "fun" food like pasta or the usual pizza.

Dessert Bar was a sell-out! There were no left overs apart from a mere piece or two of Jelly Beans and M & M chocolates, but the rest were part of the party pack which was supplied the birthday girl for her friends to pack their own mixture of candies and chocolates. Chocolate Fountain was accompanied with fresh strawberries and bananas and the ever compulsory, Marshmellows.

Below are the suppliers for the event:
