A collaboration giveaway contest with The WeddingScoop & HelloJanelee was held last month with overwhelming response from
couples that are tying the knot. It was not an easy decision for TWS to pick
the winning couple, as all the submissions describing their dream weddings were
both original and heartwarming.
Alas, it was Erica Choy who won the contest through
TWS meticulous selection process. She’s a gorgeous bride-to-be with a huge love
and for Travel Notebooks. You can check out her fantastic and creative TN posts
on Instagram (@erica_choy). Her ultra hipster fiancé Shaen has a deep passion
for guns (no..he’s not a terrorist) and spy action movies (i.e Kingsman &
Jamesbond) provided comedy relive during our loaded day of shooting. We
absolutely adore the both of them.
After several meetings to discuss the theme of the
wedding we decided to challenge the wedding norm by going with Steampunk Rustic
Theme. This completely met Shaen’s anachronistic tech and retro-futuristic fantasy
and Erica’s dream of dawning a black gown. The theme also complimented the
rustic venue we chose:
With limited planning time and the unique requirements
of theme it was a mad rush to meet the dateline while sourcing for products for
the theme. The initial plan was to order props from oversea due to availability
issues of Steampunk related props but in order to meet the dateline we had to
DIY most of the props. The biggest effort and satisfaction came from my DIY
Dreamcatcher that I hand wove for 1 week.
Thanks to endless hours and teamwork this project was
a complete success! A huge shout out to The Wedding Scoop, Bliss Chamber (Gown Designer),
