Theme & Sourcing for materials

9 Jan (Sat) - In the evening, I racked my brains and came up with a few ideas for the ROM as well as our theme. We will go along the line of a "Sweet Affair @ the Garden". So, everything has got to be related to sweetness. For example, having a honey pot as a ang pow box, that is provided we can find one. We will have some lollipops at the reception table for guests too! The signages and directional signs will adopt the same look and feel of our invite cards.

We are going to have our caricature drawn for the invite cards and I came across the very same artist who did Fann and Christopher Lee's!


16 Jan (Sat) - It was a very, very fruitful day sourcing for the materials needed for ROM!

We went to the following places at Bras Basah:

1. Popular - To source for invite cards material, ideas for guest book. Sms-ed Henry's cousin who is able to help us with the printing. We have decided on a size that is half of A6 for our invite cards and they are going to resemble ice creams - an idea I got from online!

We developed 2 ideas for guest book since we are not going for the conventional one. Idea 1, it would bear similar design as the invite cards and guests will be sticking it somewhere (yet to think of it) after they have filled in their well wishes. Idea 2, we will buy 2 or 3 small but long artist canvas for guests to scribble whatever they want on it. These can be doubled up as "paintings" in our house in the future!

2. Art Friend - To look for materials like ribbons or die-cut shapes for the use on our invite cards and ideas to make our own ang pow box. We plan to showcase something that Henry made of which he gave it to me on a particular anniversary as the ang pow box. This brought us to the next place...

3. Acrylic Centre - We asked for their quote but was told to email them with the dimensions in order for them to quote a price.

Plaza Singapura
4. Made with Love - To look for invite cards materials.

5. Spotlight - Found feathers suitable for my MTM ROM dress and a small tin bucket for lollipops.
