Red-Silver Wedding Cord

Here's a photo of the wedding cord used by one of my customers on their big day last February 2012.  Wishing them a very happy life together, like what the cord symbolizes -- a unity that lasts forever...

Groom's Boutonniere (pleated ribbon + crystals)

Item: Groom's Boutonniere (Chua-Alcantara Nuptial)
Color/Motif: brown and pink

Materials: pink & brown satin ribbons, brown beads/crystals 



Originally, the groom's boutonniere was supposed to be made of faux pearls, but then the bride decided, on behalf of her groom :), to have it made of fabric or something similar to fabric.  An idea came into my mind, remembering the youtube tutorial i saw before in flower making.  On that video, they used pleated ribbons to make the flowers.  I've never seen ready made pleated ribbons here, so I manually did the pleating on the ribbon so I can make that kind of flower :)

It's fixed with a bar pin at the back (like the corsages) so it can easily be worn by the groom.

Bead Bridal Bouquet

Item:  Bridal Bouquet (Chua-Alcantara Nuptial)

Color/Motif: brown and pink

Materials:  white, light pink & brown beads; light & bright pink crackle glass beads; pink round & flower-shaped sequins


Next month, May 2012, a bride will march the aisle sparkling with this unique bouquet, carefully handcrafted with hundreds of beads! :)  After the bouquet was made, the b2b had an additional request -- to add Hello Kitty on the bouquet! She gave a Hello Kitty pendant she owned, and so the final bouquet had a Hello Kitty on it ;)
