Friday's errands

My pillow nearly snatched me back last friday but we had plans - we had plans I tell you! so I awoke and followed the trail of nescafe - sure sign that he's ready to set off.

First up was Poppy Flora's girly showroom. We're having a garden wedding, so naturally fans gained the most votes against its contenders - jars of vanilla-infused sugar, paper lanterns and seedlings.

They had the prettiest mini fans ever, of pink the pink of shells - and you could even have them stamped with your monogram. But at 4 bucks each (4/6 times of what people usually fork out), we had to look for alternative suppliers. Sara, the creative director, was very friendly but her ideas and materialising the ones that we did have came at too costly a price.

A few caterers sandwiched in between and then we trudged to Yeo GM for paper lanterns. Since the solemnization is smack in the midst of Orchid Gardens, we wanted to tone down the flora with paper lanterns (maybe parasols), as part of the decor. Somewhat like a chic paper wedding. Found that ahpek place at Rochor that sold lanterns and bought some for ourselves. Don't they look flabbergastingly gorgeous in the right setting?



Bridesmaids meeting Chapter II at Breko's later with consensual nods with colours, designs of dresses, make-up, fittings and rehearsals. Phew, things are shaping up, people can let me breath and not give me THAT look when they find out the wedding's in June (apparently they are fanatic brides that book stuff three years in advance).

And finally, we have a caterer! Food preview to get those buds going!
