i did the layout for our invitation
the arrhae which contains coins to symbolize wealth. this was bought from a local wedding store. i originally wanted to use a wooden basket with coins from all the countries we've visited but i wasn't able to have the coins cleaned to be shiny. and the holes from the basket in the local daiso were too big.
the candles were also purchased from a local wedding shop. i wanted to alter the embellishments and decorate the candles in our color but i figured it was better this way.
pink and blue jellybeans for our favors. everything was done manually - from the packaging, tying of ribbons, even the tags were handmade!
pink ribbons for blueberry jellybeans
chocolate and vanilla cupcake favors in our colors - pink and blue. the tags were handmade as well, similar to the tags on our invites.
pink and blue icing flowers on our cupcakes.
birdboxes that contained sheets of papers and envelopes where guests can write their messages. birds were purchased from bangkok, all other supplies sourced locally. each one is unique and no two are alike.
placecards with stamped birdcage in the background.
colored pencils to go with the birdboxes doubling as guest books. tags were handmade and similar to tags used in jellybean favors.
wooden monograms on kraft boxes. these are similar to the birdboxes guestbook except for the wooden letters. letters bought from japan.
couples' table, blue glasses matched out motif. centerpiece was reused from the flowers in the altar during the ceremony.

my shoes are custom made in the same shade as the entourage'
my shoes against the stained glass doors of the bed and breakfast we stayed in.
my shoes amidst a sea of jellybeans. 
the blahniks that inspired my shoes.
my bouquet. i specifical
aside from the peonies, i also asked for pink carnations and a mix of blue roses and white liliums.
another lovely sight near our cottage - a victorian inspired statue.
i loved the homey feel of the cottage we stayed in.
my gown. the first time i saw the gown from a simone carvalli ad from martha stewart weddings, i knew this was the gown for me. never mind that more than one designer told me this did not suit my frame. lucky for me, i found a designer that made it work for me.
my gown in the stone path leading up to our cottage. hubby had to close his eyes when he was passing by.
another shot of the gown i found from the designer's site.
the simone carvalli gown i saw in martha stewart. i never had any doubts, the first time i saw it i knew this is my gown
the bejewelled shrug that was a nice addition to the original simone carvalli design. i was supposed to take it off during the reception for a different look from the ceremony. but my makeup artist suggested i use it as a ruffle over my chest. i finally took off the shrug after the program so i can move around as much as i wanted. so instead of two looks, i ended up with three!
the inspiratio
