Real Wedding: Andrew and Serena, Part I

It may seem that we at Wishing Tree love creating big, bountiful arrangements that are both lush and luxurious - which is true :) - but we also love the beauty and elegance found in simple arrangements done up with a minimalist colour palette. For Andrew and Serena's wedding reception at Sassorosso, we were honoured with the opportunity and responsibility to create a cozy, intimate atmosphere for a dinner party with our couple's friends. We love the idea of a 'friends only' party!

Many thanks to the talented Poh Lin of I Do Weddings who planned the couple's wedding, and Yeh of WondrousVision, the photographer behind this affair and did a wonderful job capturing the elegance and simplicity of the evening.



Sassorosso is an Italian restaurant in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, with indoor and outdoor seating. Its contemporary setting was perfect for the arrangements we had in mind for Andrew and Serena. Described as "easily the coolest couple", they wanted something simple and elegant in colours that would appeal to both their feminine and masculine, so it was pink for Serena and and soft gray for Andrew. An excellent match to complement the venue's contemporary interior with clean lines, neutral shades and white linens!

Now, the pictures you've been waiting for...

Flowers for the tables consisted of pink tulips, pink cymbidiums and pink roses. Our bride also mentioned that she liked green very much, which was the main reason for choosing the imported tulips - the vivid, cheery green from the stems and leaves of the tulips was such a delight to see! Silvery gray candles were placed on the tables to be lit up as the sun went down. The effects were marvelous - as you will see in the next post.

See Part II and Part III!
