Real Wedding: Caroline and Greg, Part II

Welcome back to Caro and Greg's wedding at The Club At The Saujana! This wedding is just filled with so much gorgeousness we don't know where to begin. Well, we could start with the amazing photos - taken by Jim Liaw Photography, of course. Our deepest gratitude for the beautiful memories captured!

After Caro and Greg's intimate garden ceremony, held a couple of hours before sunset, the wedding party moved indoors where a romantic, elegant banquet was held.




The evening was filled with warmth and intimacy, decked out in blooms of white and green, dark wood furniture...and a lot of candles!

We used several types of flowers for the evening reception - all white, all romantic and textured. In the top picture, you can see roses and cymbidium orchids. The bride's bouquet comprised of eustoma, roses and phalaenopsis orchids. And in tall glasses filled with water, more cymbidiums!





This tabletop arrangement was a real feast for the eyes. It is actually a counter top that separated the open cooking area from the formal dining area - and it provided for an amazing backdrop for the evening. The wooden candlesticks and hurricane candle holders were the Hotel's, and suited the decor perfectly. It's always such a pleasure to be able to use original decor items from the venue itself.





As this was a small and very intimate and warm dinner reception, we used low table arrangements on guest tables so everyone could see and chat with one another. We don't need guests to keep peeping left and right throughout dinner to speak with someone sitting just across from them!

To keep the cut flowers upright and in their place, we filled the glass vases with OPP plastic pieces. These also look great for texture as they look like little chunks of ice, which also reflect more light off the tealights and mirrors.





Congratulations once again, Caro and Greg!! May your marriage be filled with the laughter, love, warmth and joy that infused your wedding so beautifully. And thank you for sharing your treasured life event with us!

Real Wedding: Caroline and Greg, Part I

Garden or outdoor weddings are increasingly gaining popularity in Malaysia despite our weather, and couples are always on the search for the "perfect" lawn on which to celebrate their union. Unless you know of a private home or estate with a spacious, landscaped garden, your only other choices are the hotels and resorts here.

One of our favorite places, and relatively little known among Malaysians is The Club at The Saujana - a boutique hotel situated next to The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, that prides itself on luxury, exclusivity and privacy. Here is where Caroline and Greg's wedding took place.

The low trees and plants in the well-manicured garden were perfect for a cozy, intimate and romantic wedding. It's always important to have greenery at eye-level so a garden decor set-up looks good. Of course, any garden wedding needs a great photographer to capture all the loveliness and the details! For Caro and Greg's wedding, we have Jim Liaw Photography to thank... as always!




The vast amount of greenery at The Club at The Saujana made it very easy to bring Caro and Greg's vision for a white and green theme to life. From the white chiavari chairs in the ceremony area to the white roses on the bridge, as well as the backdrop of lush white dendrobiums, jasmine, ribbons and pearls dripping from the trees.

If you look closely at the first picture, you will see a huge clay pot on either side of the bridge. These were filled with supersized jungle ferns that were rolled into tall cones. They were literally sourced from the jungle just for this wedding!



Lining the aisle and giving off a lovely fragrance are the handmade jasmine and dendrobium pomanders, attached to chairs with tuber roses. And in the blue paper cones, white rose petals for guests to shower upon Caro and Greg as they pass.

As the wedding ceremony was held in the evening, we placed candles and tealights on the bridge and hung more tealights to the tree with white ribbons, all to be lit when the sun began to go down. It was quite a magical evening as you can imagine!




Our beautiful bride Caroline chose a white bouquet to go with the theme. We went with "romantic" and textured blooms, wrapping white eustoma, white roses and white phalaenopsis orchids with deep green leaves and an elegant white ribbon.
