what i love about them...






i love the tinsel.
as with every entries, i have to say... i love my ribbons.
with new arrivals flooding in, it's hardly the right time to post such randomness. but i can't resist posting these satin colours which were coincidentally placed together while we do our regular stock check. licorice, cranberry and burgundy... darkness.
it's been more than a year since we started this blog... and this is only our 16th post. a rather dismal performance in quantity of entries... but fear not, this is our sweet 16 post! and be warned for the sweetness to come below!
corsages and boutonniere tend to be an overlooked detail in wedding. locally, corsages are sometimes used to differentiate relatives, friends or helpers from a roomful of guests.
to add a personal touch, some brides may even choose to craft their own corsages for their entourage of maids of honour or known in mandarin as "jie-mei"s. these creations can be done using the traditional fresh flowers or the recently more popular choice of silk/fabric flowers.
delicately hand-crafted fabric flower corsages for your special day. present it as souvenirs or gifts to guests for your wedding, engagement party or special occasion. (:
some ideas for you...
ever wonder how to define the colours to one's wedding? is it the favourite colour(s) of the wedding couple? is it the season (i.e. spring, summer, autumn or winter)? or is it the trend of that period (dictated by the fashion walkway)?
maybe the answer is a little combination of every answer to the above questions. whether that's the answer or not, i will leave it for the brides and grooms to mull over (;
another happy find over my daily blog-surf is snippet & ink daily wedding inspiration. what i really like about it is the author's vivid titles to each inspiration boards. try guessing the colours to the inspiration board by just looking at the titles and see if you visualize the same colours as the author.
furthermore, the author's emotive take on colour theme shows that the play of colours provides character and elements to the wedding. for each inspiration board, moods were elicited from the choice of photos and colours.
some of my personal favourites are...

many many many types of ribbons. how do you choose?
take a look at some of the various classifications :)
if you want something pure glamourous with literal bling-bling... go for metallic ribbondo not be mistaken, metallic ribbons are cloth ribbons. you are still able to make a bow with them. however, they tend to be stiffer due to the metallic threads used. these ribbons has the closest colour to the real gold and silver. gold or silver satin/organza ribbons usually capture the shade but still fail to create the shine (hence being misunderstood as brown or grey) .
