Hello Yellow

I have been playing with this idea in my head about featuring some wedding ideas/deco proposal to all you brides2be (B2B) out there...not sure how strong this idea would be or how this would really capture your interest(or in other word, how i can really allocate time for it..hehe). but i love to suggest, give ideas, and share my opinion about what would be great to add on your big day. I would like to focus on D-I-Y and affordable choices. Nothing big and extravagant. Just some detailing touches to personalize your big day. Oh well, for the love of beautiful wedding!!!

So today, i like to share my ideas with this B2B,

Nurul Farhana from Lovely Together blog.

I first popped by her blog during my blog hopping activity(as usual). I had to say i was both impressed and glad to see boldness in the choice of colour for her wedding day, Yellow & Black !
It's a rare colour combination for Malay wedding but i must say that its quite a big trend for western wedding to play with bright contrasting colours for their wedding. so Yeay for Nurul Farhana for the freshness she's bringing in her wedding!

So here's her colour/mood board for her wedding inspiration i got from her blog.



And here's my first idea - the yellow checkered box.

It's cute isn't it??? Its actually a cake box. I first found it about 4 years ago. The last i remembered it came in a semi-medium size; 4" x 8"x 4"(H). But currently they only have it in a semi large size; 8"x 8"x 4"(H). I wanted to suggest it as a favor box for her special guest or to her friends,etc, but the size is too big for it. Unless she wants to give a whole cake or a combination of few things that would bundle up and fill the box space...

So the next option is to flatten the box and use it as a patterned cardboard. she will get a good 24" x 8" cardboard piece after cutting away the edges. Then, she can make a smaller box or transform it into something else depending on her creativity.

One creative way it to use it to cover flower vases/container and dress it up with black ribbons. She can then create flower arrangements and have it as centerpieces on the guest dining table or main dining table. It would look really cute and sweet. Please excuse my sample above as that the only suitable artificial flower and slim black ribbon i have in stock. White blooming carnations and a wider black ribbon will look even crisp and chic!!!

My last idea is - Fragrant soap as gift favors.

This is just a normal soap. But i use this Parrot Botanicals brand soap since i was like 5 years old! I adores the soap wrap. It's so pretty! and it smells fresh too! You can easily find the original green ones in about any supermarket or kedai mamak, but i was shopping for my personal stuffs recently and saw this yellow version on the soap bar shelf.

And i tought for a second, this would be great for Nurul Farhana Yellow&Black wedding! All she have to do is to dress it up with a black ribbon and walla! Done!

To Nurul Farhana, I hope you like my ideas(sorry if you don't). I also hoped you gain something out of this. If you do need any further ideas and advice from me, please do not hesitate to contact me :)
