Sami's dad wanted to jazz up her graduation party, so he hired me to make few arrangements. For the main living room, I thought it would be fun to have a conversation piece, that's why I decided to do something a little dramatic (just a little! ^_^). The manzanita branch I used for this arrangement was a plastic one (my suggestion if you are to do this yourself, get the real manzanita branch. They're a lot stronger, therefore you can place more lanterns). I painted the branch matte gold.
 

The flowers I picked for this were sunflowers, "Hocus Pocus" roses, anthurium, safflower, and non-variegated pittosporum leaves.

For the deck, I thought it would be fun to do something a little modern, so I went back to my roots, so thus speak, by coloring the water light blue and cut out polypropylene film (a.k.a gift basket plastic wrap) to get the "cracked ice" effect. I then put the vase inside a wreath filled with white spider mums and non-variegated pittosporum leaves.

 

It was definitely a gorgeous day for a graduation party and I think everything worked out great!

Congratulations on your graduation, Sami!! ^_^



 

First of all, let me share with you this sweet, sweet picture of Marie and Greg. I fell in love with this picture so much so that it leaves me speechless everytime I look at it. A great work by Mariano Delgado Photography!
 

Marie and Greg are from New York City, but they fell in love with Philadelphia and often came to visit, so that's how they ended up holding their wedding and reception here! ^_^

Marie's vision was to have a lot of candlelights at the reception. She definitely kicked it up a notch by coming up with lanterns idea. She was contemplating to do the most common Asian paper lanterns at first, but that did not fit her budget. So she quickly adjusted after she found these awesome, unique glass lanterns from CB2 (which happened to be at very good sale price at that time). We called them the "Squirlies and Whirlies". It's too bad they no longer have "Squirlies" >_< for purchase, but you can certainly rent them from us! ^_^ Simply email Papertini's rental division and submit your request. I fully credited Marie for the decor design at the reception. I am simply grateful for the opportunity she gave me to be her extended hands. ^_^ Thanks so much, Marie! ^_^

Because of her very tight budget, Marie fully understood that she would need to keep everything simple and that there were a lot of things that she would need to get herself. She purchased her vases mostly from Jamali Garden (One of my favorite stores! if you live in NYC like her, this would be an easy trip and no shipping charges obviously...) and from an online store, Wholesale Flowers & Supplies. She picked hydrangeas for the reception flowers and ordered them from Sam's Club (if you don't have Sam's Club in your area, I believe Costco sells these in bulk, too).

When we went for the site visit at the Bistro St. Tropez, I was very much excited! The space was just awesomely cool! It is located on the 4th Floor of the Market Place Design Center building and the reception was held in the area outside the restaurant, so it had the backdrop of the showrooms. The cocktail hours and dancing were held inside the restaurant. It was just a totally unique and awesome experience!
 

I love the showroom windows as the backdrop! ^_^

There were 2 designs for the centerpieces. The tables that got hanging lanterns, got short hydrangeas clusters with no tall vases. The ones that did not get hanging lanterns, got tall flute vases with floating candles and hydrangea clusters in between.

Due to the placement of the bars on the ceiling, we had one row of tables that got the hanging lanterns and the rest got tall flute vases filled with water and floating candles. The challenge was in the setup because we had to hang the lanterns individually and lined them up. The lantern hanging "project" turned into a piece of cake because Marie and Greg brought their crew of groomsmen who were super helpful! Together, we managed to get all these lanterns hung within 1 hour! I'm telling you, the power of friendship is mighty and wonderful! ^_^

Here's what the final reception setup looked like:
 

Marie and Greg rented the "tangerine wash" uplights
from Synergetic Sounds and Lighting


"Squirlies and Whirlies"
** All the tealights used in the hanging lanterns were LED tealights **
(using real tealights may risk fire hazzard)


The Floating Candles Set


Their gorgeous wedding cake
with fleur de lis pattern to match their invitation

Love her idea of using vintage postcards
for the guests to write on in lieu of guest book.

I had a great pleasure working with Mark Hoyt, the event coordinator at the Bistro.He's accomodating, helpful and simply nice to us. ^_^ I even got to meet the chef/owner, Patrice Rames, himself! I definitely recommend this lovely bistro if you are looking for a unique, urban style wedding site!

As for her personal flowers, Marie's bouquet consisted of white peonies, white football mums, and mustard yellow ranunculus. The bridesmaids' bouquets were straight up white dendrobium orchids, her maid of honor had few yellow ranunculus for accents. Greg's boutonniere was a yellow ranunculus and rosemary. The groomsmen had dendrobium orchid boutonnieres to match the ladies.
 

 
I really did have a lot of fun doing this wedding and definitely learned a lot from Marie's creativity! ^_^

Congratulations, Marie and Greg! ^_^
Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity!
It's definitely an honor to be a part of your special day! 

Many happy wishes for you two, always! ^_^

The lovely wedding cake decorated by Tuxedo Caterers.

 

I had so much fun doing this wedding! And as you can see, the design is simple yet chic, so there are components that you can certainly do as DIY projects.

So...what do we learn from this?
1. Small budget requires a lot of Flexibility and Work (research and purchasing)
2. When done right, silk flowers are NOT tacky. So please give them a second chance; they will not disappoint!
3. Small budget does not mean you cannot have a gorgeous wedding!

A little note about using silk flowers...

In all honesty, nothing beats the look of fresh flowers. However, it does have a certain range of price tag and when you have a tight budget, silk flowers make absolutely wonderful subtitutions. I think silk flowers probably got a bad rep for looking tacky, but the truth is there are so many fresh looking silk flowers out there at reasonable prices. Even Walmart and Dollar Tree have few styles that are really nice (I personally find Michael's has the best quality and price for silk flowers and their biweekly sale always helps your wallet! ^_^)

Silk flowers are also good options for those who consider having exact color and shape extremely important.
There are not a lot of blue colored flowers out there and dyed fresh flowers can cost you an arm and a leg (personally, I am a supporter of flowers in their natural state). Therefore, if color is so important to you but money IS an object, then you may have to be flexible and consider silk. I would like to stress once again, when done right, silk is NOT tacky. Heck, you can have a tacky fresh flowers arrangement, too! Basically, in my most humble opinion, what comes down to it is the design. I believe that a good design should be able to convey emotions regardless the cost of the materials. I think Kerith's and Carmita's weddings can attest to that.

********************
 

When I designed this, I imagined myself being a guest at the "Madhatter's Party". I love "Alice in Wonderland" because it is so whimsical and colorful. One of the Brossman Center "A Simple Delight" wedding packages will adopt a simpler version of this design, where some of the decor will be replaced with platters of Just a Nibble Catering's wonderful yummy creations! ^_^ Sounds like a win-win combo to me! ^_^

I designed the tables with budget brides in mind, particularly "The West Garden" table and here's why:

1. There were only 2 floral arrangements for the whole table, the rest were potted plants that were repotted into new containers and vegetables and fruits in decorated containers.

2. The plants, vegetable and fruits all were purchased from Produce Junction

3. The potted plants were seasonal
- I basically went to Produce Junction a day before and picked whatever they had that day.
For this event, I chose "Gloxinia", "Cyclamen", and a variety of "Aster". Each pot ranges from $ 3.50 to $ 5.00.













I have all the containers used in this design available for rent. Just email our rental division you are interested to rent any of these from us.

The artichoke candle holder? Yeah, that's a real artichoke. Not artificial. No kidding. ^_^
My dear friend, Judi, worked so hard making those with the help of a knife and pruning snip (THANK YOU, JUDESTER! ^_^). And by the way...this is another great DIY project! Just make sure you wear protective gloves when you work with artichoke, cuz they sure poke!

The recipe:
1 Large Artichoke (or small one will do too)
1 Votive Holder
1 Tealight Holder (the aluminum part that holds the tealight itself)

How to:
1. To make it, cut the stem of the artichoke so it can stand flat.
2. Pluck out the center "leaves" of the artichoke, snip and "dig" until you reach the core
3. Insert the aluminum container of the tealight upside down (flat bottom side up, this will be the "stage" to raise your votive holder). The goal is to have the flame from the votive be outside of the artichoke leaves.
4. Insert the votive holder and place it on top of the aluminum container

I highly recommend that you do NOT use tealight for this project for 2 (two) reasons:
1. Fire hazard (most important reason).
- The flame from the tealight will burn the artichoke leaves because it sinks deep.
2. You cannot see the lumination, cuz it's placed so deep inside the artichoke
- That's why I don't even bother to suggest using LED tealights, cuz....well, what for? ^_^

I actually got mine from Target; one of their small votive holders (it's about half the size of a regular one).
I've seen these at TJ Maxx, Home Goods, and Marshall's, too, so you have choices there.


"The East Garden"

I thought I would pay a tribute to my heritage by designing an East Asian infused table. ^_^ Again, I definitely keep the budget brides in mind when planning for this. Cost wise, this is a more expensive table compared to the West Garden. But if you are willing to make substitutions and are flexible in terms of color, you can strike a deal with Heaven (sounds like a line from a kungfu movie, but hey, it works! Hehehehe... ^_^)!









     


Again, I have all the containers used in this design available for rent, with exception of the pebbles/marbles and votive holders. Just email our rental division you are interested to rent any of these from us.


What I did for this design:

1. I got my tall Phalaenopsis Orchids from this place called, surprise, surprise...Produce Junction! ^_^
- I have never seen this plant sold for $ 10 a pot (8" diam) anywhere else! Holy bazoongas! In fact, I went back to Produce Junction today and they even sold these in a smaller pot (5" diam; shorter stem) for $ 8.50 each! Can I say "Holy bazoongas" again??
Here's the downfall...If you are to use this purchasing method, this is where your FLEXIBILITY is HIGHLY REQUIRED. They don't always carry white Phalaenopsis Orchid. The day before this event, I was lucky to get white ones. Today, when I went back there, they had tons of purple ones, zero white. So just remember to be as flexible as you can and happiness shall be rewarded. ^_^

- I repotted each orchid plant into a 6" x 6" x 6" clear, glass cube vase that I filled the base with river rocks/pebbles (Dollar Tree's product, baby...) and Spanish Moss (you can buy a bag of this from Michael's, AC Moore, Jo-Ann Fabrics or Walmart).

Doesn't it look pretty? ^_^




*** THE ART OF SUBSTITUTION ***

2. I used both Dendrobium Orchids and Stocks in this design.
- I got them both from Produce Junction also, so the price for the orchids wasn't bad ($ 1 a stem). But if you are to do this DIY because you're running on a tight budget, you may want to consider ditching the Dendrobium Orchids altogether and use all Stocks or Alstromerias (see the picture of Alstromerias in this arrangement style here). The cost savings could be up to 60% and the aesthetic impact is almost equal!

See it for yourself here...


Dendrobium Orchids


Stocks


3. I tinted the water light blue. I used a special "water dye" here (cuz I have tons of it...), but I've used food dye before and it works just the same.

4. I used fresh Cymbidium Orchid heads here, but you can replace that with silk ones (Michael's has the most "real" looking ones).

5. Those nice blue gems and the weaved balls, I got them from www.jamaligarden.com, so do check the site out! ^_^ I direct my clients there quite often because they simply have awesome stuff! Now, some of these can be pricey if you are trying to cover 8+ tables, so my recommendation is to replace these with those colorful small pebbles from IKEA ("FLORERA"; $ 1.99/bag) and mix them with clear marbles to get the bling-bling effect. Dollar Tree sells those weaved balls, they might be smaller though. If that's the case, just go to IKEA; I've seen them there before.

6. Yes, I used White Cyclamen that I repotted into a 4" x 4" x 4" clear, glass cube vase. So the plant itself only cost me $ 3.50. I also used Hyacinth (you can replace this with Star of Bethlehem if they're not available if you want).

7. The long green stalk looking thingy majigy is NOT bamboos. It's actually called Equisetum or Horsetail.
It is often mistaken as bamboos though. It is indeed a cool looking plants. The common variety is usually thinner than a bamboo (I've seen ones that are wider than bamboos though). They are flexible a.k.a bendable so you can shape them if you want. For this design, I just kept them straight. ^_^

8. The flat bamboo containers are actually soba noodles "plate". ^_^ I got them a long time ago from a friend of mine. If you want to purchase these, you may have to tour around Chinatown a bit, particularly if you want to get a good price; or you can also go to a restaurant supply store.



I really had fun being a part of this wonderful event! The food was awesome, the guests and vendors were nice, and the atmosphere was just perfect! ^_^

A BIG THANK YOU to Rita Faison at the Brossman Center for always giving me "a canvas to paint on" ^_^,  Randi Martin from Always Fabulous Events for her awesome advises and support, and last but not least, Gloria Webber from Just a Nibble Catering for providing those cute and yummy treats!

A special thank you for my assistants, Mandy and Judi, for all the hardwork they put into this event! ^_^

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you enjoy it and find the tips helpful!

For more pictures from this event, please visit Papertini's Online Album.

I picked the charcoal gray planters and accented them with mint green ribbon. Besides having the yellow tulips and daffodils, I brought more yellow in by putting thin yellow ribbon on the table number. I would like to bring in the garden theme even closer by sticking the table cards on a wooden stick (easily found in any craft store), so they look like "garden signs". Tee hee!! I think it worked well! What I learned from this lovely wedding? LESS IS MORE. ^_^ I simply love it. ^_^


Here they are at the reception site:

  

And they're back at the reception:

  

Thank you so much for giving me the honor
to be a part of your special day!
Many happy wishes for you always! ^_^



 

Aren't these hydrangeas just as gorgeous?? And trust me, they probably cost less than $ 15 a pot! AND...you get to plant them for your garden! They simply repotted the hydrangeas into new containers, which worked just fine, I'd say! ^_^

So the verdict is....Low Cost + Green? It's the TREND, ladies! ^_^

Thank you so much for the honor to be a part of your special day!
Many happy wishes always! ^_^

Thank you for those who have booked with me!
I really appreciate it and I am looking forward to making your event a great one! ^_^
 

My 2nd sister, Dewi, celebrated her marriage to Wira, my brother-in-law (finally, someone who's older than me! Only a year older, but I don't care, as long as he's older! HA! ^_^) on Sunday, Feb 8, 2009. An intimate party of just family and close friends is always my favorite, so I am glad they kept it small size. ^_^

In terms of inspiration...well, I was thinking of Chinese influence with modern flare. Red and Gold are Chinese auspicious colors, but I don't want red to be the base, so I "translated" the gold in shades of yellow. The only "gold' colored items were the accent ribbon for the stems and the feather. I personally do not dig metallic/shiny gold, if I have to use gold, it'll be antique/old/matte gold. ^_^ I think it works great!



 

Their reception took place at:

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Okay, okay...I know I'm really late...it's mid January...but hey! Better late than never! ^_^ I hope the new year has been good to everybody, just like it's been good to me.

2009 opened with a not-so-yippee-doodledoo tone as we all would hope. This tumbling economy bubble is affecting every industry and just like those economists all say...it's like a domino effect. I've heard once that weddings know no recessions. It's true that people will still get married come rain, come shine. But I am fully aware of the gloominess of the economy and I know it's getting harder to justify spending that extra $$$, especially for floral and decoration. Obviously, you don't want to have just table clothes and place settings on your guest tables, but you are also not sure if you want to shed that  $ 100 for a centerpiece arrangement per table either. How are we to do this wedding without breaking our checking account?

So after meditating during my winter hibernation, I came up with a few suggestions and ideas to cope with wedding planning in this dire economy. Please remember that all of these are my personal opinions, not research based or anything like that. ^_^

A little prologue...

What is the core meaning of a wedding celebration?
Is it really about the gowns? The food? The flowers and decor? The dancing?

Sure the people in wedding industry will throw sandals at me for asking questions such as the above and for saying the following things. The truth to the matter is, I personally believe those questions ARE important. Wedding celebration is about celebrating the love and commitment between you and your special someone. The rest of the stuff are just extras, really. When I say "extra", I truly mean that it's not a must have. And in my most humble opinion: You really are not obligated to impress anybody else but yourself and your loved one.

So you need to define what the core meaning of a wedding celebration is to you and your special someone.
Then you can decide what extra stuff you'd like to have - Learn to say 'NO'.


"BRING MINI BACK"
Riding on Justin Timberlake's "Bring Sexy Back" tune, I'd say..."I'm bringing 'Mini' back".

@ MINI-MIZE YOUR BRIDAL PARTY
Not only will this save $$$ for your floral budget but this might save $$$ for your friends or family!
- I thought of this after being a bridesmaid myself. For each wedding, I shed at least $ 100 for my bridesmaid dress. That added a pretty good dent on my checking account particularly after I had to pay for the airplane ticket. One can argue by saying, "Well, you can always say 'no'" - Well, can you boldly say 'no' to your bestfriend or your sister or cousin or your favorite colleague if they ask you to be their bridesmaid without feeling awkward or guilty or ashame?

"But I want to make them feel involved and be a part of my special day"
- I totally understand, my dear. But you really don't have to make them bridesmaids or groomsmen.
For small budget wedding, family and friends' involvement in the execution of the big day even more important.
Opt for DIY invitations, program book, favors, centerpieces and other decors where you can involve these important people and make them feel included in your special day.


@ MINI-MIZE DA PARTY
Is it written in a law that bride and groom are obligated to serve full meal at their wedding reception?
NO.

Therefore, one should consider a different style of wedding reception, say...by adapting the cocktail party theme into your wedding reception. I think this would work great particularly if you have problems shrinking the guest list.

SO...WHY NOT?

A lot of caterers have impressive lines and presentations of hors d'oeuvres a.k.a appetizers. I think this will give your guests more food options without killing your budget. Plus, have you ever been to a party (not just weddings, any parties) where you were so stuffed from the appetizers, you couldn't eat your entrees? Let's save the earth from throwing more food leftover, folks! 


@ MINI-MALIST STYLE
So you've sat down and figured out what extras you would like to have. Turns out you have leftover $$$ to do some decor. We don't always have to include flowers for decor. How about incorporating fruits and vegetables? How about candles? How about framed poems or personal stories?

The idea of "minimalist" to me, personally, does not mean empty spaces, does not mean a stick of branch.
I define "minimalist" as clean, simplistic, smart and bold. We can achieve this with or without flowers. Yes, this means design wise, we are entering the NON TRADITIONAL world. And yes, folks, Non-Traditional can be just as romantic. And yes, YOU need to have a lot of COURAGE.

SO...BE A TREND SETTER!


A little epilogue...

Small budget DOES NOT mean:
1. Your wedding have to look cheap.
2. Your wedding celebration is less joyous.

Small budget MEANS:
1. You will not get in debts from doing your wedding.
2. Opportunities to be a trend setter - redefining designs and possibilities.
3. You have to be in touch with reality, so...BE REALISTIC.
4. You have to be SMART and ASSERTIVE in defining what's important and managing your wedding planning.

In a nutshell: There is nothing wrong with having a small budget.
You just have to have the COURAGE to define what a wedding celebration is all about to you and your loved one. Don't let the magazines and/or other people define it for you.
 

It's your special day; it's yours to define.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your special day! ^_^

I first met Megan about 2 years ago when she contacted me to help out with floral arrangements for Concert Opera, an event that she helped organized. Ever since then, we always maintain a great relationship. She even helped model for my photoshoots! ^_^ So when she asked me to do her wedding flowers, I was really honored.

Megan has a big family, so from the get go she knew that she would have a big bridal party. She wanted to keep the bouquets simple but striking. She came to me with a solid idea of using ivory roses and aubergine mini callas (the super dark purple mini callas) for the bouquets. The combination of these two colors was perfect against the unique green of the bridesmaids' dresses. I cannot even explain to you what kind of green that was. It's kind of close to sage and/or willow, simply a very unique shade of green. It's very pretty for sure, as you can see from the pictures. ^_^ Her talented photographer was Matthew Wright of the figtree photography. I really like the dramatic shots he took for this wedding! ^_^
 

Since Cairnwood Cathedral already has such intricate designs, we decided to keep the ceremony decor to a minimal. Just a couple of pew bows to mark the family rows and a couple of altar arrangements. She bought the vases for these arrangements and they were so plain, so I decided to cover the inside of the vases with Ti Leaves and that helped bring out the colors. I'm glad that worked! ^_^
 

 

I met Dominique at the UPenn Bridal Show I did last year. She is such a sweet and warm person! ^_^ And yes, it's another blessing to have our paths crossed. ^_^

 

For her bouquet, she wanted something naturalistic (a personal favorite style of mine...) and a combination of white and green color wise. She loves to incorporate herbs in the bouquet and sage is her favorite. So what I did was I used sage as her bouquet collar and it worked out great! I also loved the fragrant smell of the sage! ^_^ For the bridesmaids', we kept it simple with small bouquets of burnt orange gerbera daisies. The boutonnieres were my pride and joy from this wedding. Dominique did not want to use ribbon for the bouts wrap, so I used twine instead and they turned out marvelous! I am so happy! Too bad I didn't get any close up pictures of them! Boo hoo! If I get it one of these days, I'll definitely try to post it here.
 

Congratulations Dominique and Steve!
Many Happy Wishes for you always!! ^_^
