Shanghai Romance

"Rose Rose, I love you", if you ever heard this old Shanghai show tune is the perfect musical juxtaposition for our Shanghai Romance Wedding theme. Form fitting burgundy cheongsams complimented with grey pinstripe tuxedos, gramophone jazz music, blood roses and the decadence of 1920 Shanghai; these were all inspirational pieces to our decor that evening. But to really revisit the flamboyance of China's largest and oldest port, FE decide to kick it up a notch by moving out of our comfort zone. We decided to match-make the organic with the inorganic, flowers with electricity.

This gave birth to fuchsia Mokara Orchid crowns on 8 feet custom-made cooper poles, showcased in the crimson glow of scarlet lanterns and crystal ornaments. The final dotting of the 'i' in Shanghai Romance was the 24 feet by 12 feet billboard of the wedding couple complimented in the saffron glow of our scarlett running bulbs border. Yao Lee (姚莉) would been proud of our production that evening.

 Last but not least, FE would like to take this opportunity to thank Chee Seng & Min for believing in our creativity and congratulate them on tying the knot on 12th June 2011. May your marriage be as eternal as the romance of Shanghai!!

The "Blonde Ambition"

A yellow wedding motive is not necessary the most common pick traditionally but of late this blonde ambition has grown in popularity stateside and the "yellow fever" is quickly spreading across wedding continents. Yellow is reminiscent of the rays of sunshine on a summer day, the joyful glow of a child's smile and also a spread of wild daffodils melting into a sea of gold and green. It's Fun-tastic, warm, rich yet mellow; a palette that works well in any and every season. Cue Beach Boys' "Seasons in the Sun"!!

When designing a yellow wedding theme, the most common flowers that are used are yellow roses. But in actuality there are quite a number of other choices for fresh "blonde" flowers in our country,  they are:

Lilies
Calla lilies
Gerberas
Marigolds
Dasies
Cymbidiums
Orchids
Freesia
Aster
Anthuriums
Tulips
Chrysathemums
Gladiolus
Hliconia
Sunflower

My personal favorites are Carnations and Hyacinthus simply because they carry with them a paler yellow complexion which are rarer and more exotic compared to the usual suspects above. They also work well with our ultra popular Shabby-Chic wedding theme (FE's current pride and joy)! 

Combination of yellow with other bright colours like pink, cream and orange are fine but to bring out the it's full canary potential a pairing with black or navy blue does the job immaculately. If you have decided to "Go Yellow" with your main color scheme for your wedding dinner, check out some past "blonde" projects created by Favors Essence below. Cue Coldplay BGM...

Oriental Wedding Themed ~ Pinang Peranakan Mansion

It's February 18th 2011, 4 days after Valentines and a day after the Chinese Valentine (15th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year) which marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. It's the 1st day of the Chinese Lunar Year of the Rabbit and also the wedding of my sister in law, Mei. She has engaged FE to work their magic in decorating the Nyonya themed venue of Peranakan House in Church Street, Penang. By day, the location is a tourist attraction displaying vintage furniture, decor and artifacts of Nyonya descent but come night this location morphs into a magnificent spectacle of a retro Shanghai Chic wedding! Leave to team FE to pull it off!

Rather than just sticking with the cliche of fresh flowers, FE rocked out with paper pom-poms, handmade paper wind mills and mini "fengshui" fans. We complemented these with Cymbidium orchids and Mokara orchids which was transported all the way from our store in KL. Extra care on climate and humidity control had to be in placed to ensure that my "babies" make the trip in one piece. 

This was also FE's virgin voyage for an out of town event so we were both anxious and excited!

Alas, with assistance from Mike(the groom) and Eugene(my groom) most of the heavy lifting was covered and I personally saw to the more intricate wedding details. The finish product was like time traveling back to 1920s China with the bride in crimson red cheongsam and the groom in a dapper grey 3 piece. The decor was not overly lavish and extravagant as we respected the bride and groom's wishes of keeping it a simple and intimate evening with family and friends. Here are some moments we like to share with you!!!
