Instead of using satin ribbon in the previous concept of a more regal and elegant look, organza ribbon brings out a softer touch to the invitation card design. The semi translucent ribbon tame down the busy flourish vines by bringing the focus back to the couple’s solemnization event held at the Singapore Botanical Garden.
This mix and match of ribbons type will allows the couple to have a garden solemnization and a formal dinner reception all in one invitation card! :)
Shanhui and Benedict both love the colour purple, and would like to incorporate their favourite colour scheme into their wedding. After some exchange of emails, we have narrowed it down to cool shades of purple for their wedding.
Using a deeper shade of purple gives this flourish vines a royal treatment and elegant touch to the design. I’ve also sourced a beautiful shade of satin ribbon that matches perfectly with the prints. The bold satin ribbon is an absolute match to their black tie dinner reception at St Regis.
I’ve designed a similar style from my previous Juliet collection for Shanhui as she admired the more delicate vines motif from that range.
I’ve created a full background using the motifs and leaving the upper top part of the invitation card blank so that the couple names will be more prominent and stands out! :)
This is an extended design from the embossed finishing of the same card concept with window opening secured with ribbon knot.
The outer tag is solemnization invites for their morning event. For separates invitation for dinner reception only, the tag will be removed. Only the organza satin ribbon knot will be tied.
The inside of the card will be the dinner reception invitation.
Hand embossed metallic finish purple vines motif on a shimmer lilac heavy card stock. The additional solemnization invitations for guest are printed on a separate card tied with an organza satin sided ribbon.
Working on a double layer concept, I’ve used transparency paper to print Shanhui and Benedict’s garden solemnization ceremony on the front layer.
The wedding dinner reception that follows is printed on a shimmer snow white paper mounted on a lilac heavy card stock. A crystal jewel paper fastener holds the transparency paper together with a bling!
Shanhui and Benedict are both Singaporean couple that are based in London. I’m delighted to have an opportunity to work with Shanhui and be a small part of her wedding by designing their wedding invitation cards!
Since they won’t be making many trips back to Singapore, all the planning for wedding is correspond via internet. Instead of jamming her mailbox with attachments, I’ve decided to show the preview of designs I’ve created for their wedding invitation card.
They will be having garden ceremony solemnization in the morning, follow by a black tie reception at St Regis hotel. The main colour theme for their wedding is purple and it’s their favourite colour too! :)
After several exchange of emails, we have come to finalised the colours, motifs style and fonts for their invitation card. Here are some of the designs and variations for their wedding invitation cards.
Shanhui, I hope you like the designs! Do email me your feedback before I post the samples to you. Thanks! :)
My sister adore many of my handmade cards, and she likes the thoughts process that was put into it in the making of a one of a kind card exclusively for her! That is why, on her graduation convocation last weekend … I’ve design something unique for her ;)
The theme for her graduation card is “THE STARS IS THE LIMIT!”
I have mixed and matched some of the papers I found, and created a vintage effect along the paper borders and had the stripy lines to match with my very American like stars!
I absolutely love the black ribbon, and decided that it was best match with this card! To make the card’s shape more interesting, I’ve punched holes along the sides the scallop paper. The result; CUTE! (^_^)
To top it up on this graduation card, how can one not have the mortar board that matches with your gown on your convo ceremony rite? So I’ve made a 3D mortar board for her with a tassel!
Hats off grads!!! Now the stars is your limit!!! All the best in her future and welcome to the working society!
If you love pastel pink, this colour you’ll absolutely adore! :)
Lace trimming papers of matching colour to the flowers, tied with a lovely ribbon bow and adorned with sparkling Swarovski crystals.
Good news! This could be a double happiness for those who love the oriental flavour of Chinese elements wedding with the word “Hei” – Double Happiness designed on paper cutting style with an affordable price!
I’m always in search of beautiful papers, and always nice things come with a price tag! Recently I discovered this new paper producer from Malaysia that offers some awesome range of papers that are very reasonable! Which means you’ll be getting more for value and save on your budget too! Pssst … Do you know that the paper is environmental friendly too?! It is printed with soy ink!
I’ve created a new square two fold invitation card using this new designer paper with a pocket holder. It is a more complex card for those who need to have a few more additional info inserts especially if you have more than just dinner invitation, or simply to guide your overseas guests on their accommodation, map, RSVP, bridals party etc.
I’ve have a selection of watercolour style designer’s paper collection from Australia that has yet been put into creating creative card designs.
Recently I’ve took these beautiful watercolour range of butterflies that consist one of the sweetest colours and shades that matches with garden wedding themes and it’s simply fairytale! I’ve also created two invitation card styles for your eye candy! ;)
I’ve created some special cards for my mom and sister for Valentine’s Day :) Who said Valentine’s are only meant for couples? I decided to show them my appreciation of their love and express my gratitude to have them in my life!
A simple card simply says it all – with love!
Wishing all my friends and family a sweet Valentine’s Day and a Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Chai!!
Polka dots in soft pastel shades suitable for my loving mother and butterflies adorned with pop-out flowers represents my mom’s love for flowers and gardening.
Something cutesy for sister :) Vibrant yellow background and contrasting birdies make it a fun card! I’ve also created a see through frame to highlight a pair of love birds that are glossed!
February 14th this year mark a significant meaning for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day on the same date! Coincidence never come often, and this year will definitely be a great year to celebrate the reunion with family and sharing some extra romantic time together with your one – darling!
I’ve made a special card for my hubby this year, made with love from me to him … sealed with a kiss! I can’t wait to share this with you all on this blog since it is all about L.O.V.E. this month!!
I hope he won’t see it before Valentine’s Day!! Not that he check my blog at all! So the chances of him seeing this card is pretty slim! *fingers crossed!* (^-^)
The envelope is tied a bow with string to resemble parcel package and attached with a heart shape crocs clip on a miniature envelope. Inside will be my little love notes for him … Aawww!!
Scallop lace at the bottom of the card cover to reveal the inside paper design of the card. Adorned with flowers and matching pink crystal brad.
Inside … I’ve created a pop-out 3D love birds, naming after our names. To add a little cuteness in it, the heart in between the love birds are glossy pop-out effect as well! ;)

Dear brides,
If you tailor made your dream wedding gown just like mine, and was wondering how to keep it after the wedding day and continue preserving it knowing that you’ll never wear it again or pass down for your future daughter, yet having the problem to fit this bulky gown into your wardrobe?
You may try sending it to a professional cleaner to dry clean then vacuum packed so that the gown won’t eat up your entire wardrobe space!
I did mine in US. It cost about US$200 but it is worth every penny! They box it up for you and have a transparent viewing window so that you can occasionally flip open the box cover to admire your beautiful gown and bring back sweet memory of your special day :)
You may stack it on the shelf, storeroom, walk-in closet or even display it if you want! Most importantly of all, it’s a space saver!
