~Pink/Green Engagement Theme~

Last 17th January 2010, my sister’s engagement day was held at our family home in Kepala Batas, Kedah. Quite a ceremony I should say since we are used to a small private one.

My sister requested ( ordering me actually :P ) for pink and green theme for the hantaran. At first, she wanted me to make bunga dulang using q-dip material but I opted for nylon stocking instead because it is only an engagement ceremony, not the big day yet. We save the best for last

I used two tone stockings to make the roses. Then I combined it with green stocking leaves, green glitter grass and dark pink flowers. Also, a bit of pink and green beads here and there.

This Sirih Junjung or Betel leaves arrangement is also done by me. Haha, looks more to flower arrangement since I used lots of flowers instead of the leaves!

Perhaps I should attend a class to improve.

Anyway, I turn this purple satin into two big flowers using newspapers and rubber bands. I tidied it up with pins and added ribbons to the centre core. Nothing much but still I like it best.

As for this praying mat/sejadah, I folded it into a fan. Simple and hassle free Time was a factor too due to my last- minute -work habit :P

The Ferrero Roche comes with a box therefore I simply put a ribbon on it and tadaa! :P My sister was a bit upset though because she wanted me to refashioned into grapes. Due to lack of material and my lazyness I didn’t do it.

Sorry dear sis

However, this towel was really a headache for me. I’m running out of ideas on what to do with the towel and stayed up until 2 a.m but to no avail. Thank god next morning, on the engagement day itself I had a notion to turn the towel into this erm…fruits. Don’t ask me, I don’t even know what fruit is this. Maybe Pomelos?

And finally, my sister bought 7 of this cute glass containers for RM3.50 each. I decorated it with pink lace and white sequins. Inside, my sister wrapped chocolates and potpourris together in green cloth.

All in all, I am satisfied with my work although it is simple. Sometimes, simplicity is the best

Congratulations dear sis. Now, let us start a countdown for your big day :P
