Say hello to our first 'Real Wedding' couple - Sit Yin and Chee Kian! Congratulations again on your marriage, and thanks for sharing your wedding on our blog. Our deepest gratitude goes to Michelle, the couple's wedding consultant, and to Zung of The Photoz for the beautiful pictures!
Sit Yin and Chee Kian tied the knot this past December, in an intimate garden wedding at the bride's family home in Petaling Jaya. They decided to hold their wedding near Christmas and during the holiday period since it was a more relaxed time, and especially so that friends and family living abroad were able to witness their marriage. They chose a garden wedding for pretty much the same reasons - the garden wedding would provide a laid-back, comfortable atmosphere while also creating a family type ambience for their 150 family members and close friends. We love that Sit Yin and Chee Kian place so much emphasis on family and the people who obviously mean the world to them.

For the outdoor wedding ceremony, we kept it simple but elegant and refreshing with a white and green palette to complement the lush green of the garden and the chic, green colour of the bridesmaids' dresses. Does anyone know what colour that is?? The three bridesmaids carried little bundles of white roses wrapped in satin ribbon, while Sit Yin's bridal bouquet was white and green with hints of deep orange and yellow - simple, elegant and stunning! It looked just perfect with the bride's wedding gown by Carven Ong, who also dressed the bridesmaids. And how chic is her wedding cake by Alan of Just Heavenly?? We love it! He did a marvelous job custom-creating the cake that was inspired by the wedding invitation.
Sit Yin and Chee Kian may have kept it simple and elegant in the morning, but oh did they bring on the drama at the wedding dinner!

They couldn't have chosen a more perfect time for a White Christmas wedding! A white winter theme, with the love, joy and warmth of the Christmas season, in the midst of the roses, ribbons, crystal beads, baby's breath, feather balls and the warm glow of candlelight throughout the The Westin's ballroom. Of course, the magical evening was nothing short of romantic too!
Sit Yin described her wedding in five words: Simple. Fun. Relaxed. Memorable. Blessed. We second that! We also received a note from our lovely bride (getting post-wedding notes from our clients always puts a little spring in our step!):

"Dear Lily,
Our heartfelt gratitude to you and your wonderful crew at Wishing Tree for putting together the beautiful floral decorations at our garden and dinner receptions. Everything was what we always imagined it to be, and more! Also, thanks for recommending Michelle from Michelle Wedding Consultants as our wedding planner. Her expertise made our wedding preparations a breeze. Thank you so much!

Here's what you need:
Coil the wire around the bottle - any way you like! We just covered the top few inches of the bottle and let the rest hang out. It doesn't have to be neat, and the best part - you don't need glue for this! The wire will coil easily around the bottle since it came in a coil at the store, so it will already be all curly-wurly. Just tuck in the ends when you're done, to avoid scrapes and scratches.
Carefully put the stem of your flower through the loops of the wire until it is secure. If you like, you can even put two or three flowers in there.
To make sure that our flower doesn't move around too much, notice that we've coiled the wire a little narrower at the top. But if you have more than one flower in the bottle, you could loosen the coils a bit more. But just a bit!
When you've dressed up as many bottles as you like, it's time to dress up the table. Didn't we tell you this was so much fun to do?? Arrange the gold taels, limes and extra flowers in neat piles, then add a little more here and there. We like a little structure to our handicraft, but at the same time don't want to make it look like it was too carefully thought-out. For the grand finale, sprinkle the red glitter over the items! We hope you bought the thickly-cut kind, because fine glitter will easily get blown everywhere and get stuck on everything... and we mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. An alternative is to use sequins!
