Going Rococo

I'm gonna start designing for my invitation card soon. I'm looking around for ideas that will suit my wedding theme. Since I'm gonna share the card with his side, I gotta make sure that the design suits BOTH wedding theme. Find the balance but thats the tricky part - both theme seems to be clashes. Its like Indiana Jones meets Ironman kinda clash.  


I look around for some rococo seamless pattern. Okay, I know its a bit French-y and very neoclassic but the decorative pattern seems to match up the themes I have in hand right now. 

I kinda detest the idea of having the normal looking wedding invitation. I wanted something that is very simple yet elegant at the same time. I hate silly curls and kerawang so I'm trying my best to avoid using it. I'm thinking of having something like this:




As simple as that. And just a little bit of embossed rococo pattern for a touch. How's that? 



The above is for those who love attention-grabbing cards. I love this too but if I need to print on my own, its gonna cost me a bomb.

Oh, oh and I love ribbons too! Like this:


Eeee..so sweet! You certainly can find more ideas here!

Hmm.



I'm contemplating wether to design my own wedding invitation or not. But the one above look absolutely cool, innit?

I'll have to check with Matthew for the printing cost. Gosh, its nearly February and there's still A LOT MORE to be done.

I'm so screwed.

28th

I am trapped in the twirl of advertising madness therefore the existence of this blog to keep you updated is slowly becoming very blurry like the time the optometrist checked my eye and asked 'Can you see this alphabet?'

In an attempt to make this blog a little happier, here is the design for my engagement's invitation. Twas designed by yours truly. The color theme for the engagement was brown and pastel.




The engagement took place on the 28th of December 2008 which also falls on the first day of Maal Hijrah 1430. It went very smoothly, Alhamdullilah. A simple and merry one, attended by family members and close friends.

The famous question - 'how's the preparation for your big day?'

So far, I'm pretty handful, settling stuff relates to my pelamin, deco and dress. I'll still be using the same make-up artist but that haven't yet to be confirmed. Oh oh and I've come out with my own concept and theme for the wedding! MN and I both put our hearts into the whole design process which starts from the wedding theme, design for the dias, floral arrangements and favors. The whole pre-nupts thing seems to be like a fun school project. Teehee.

Apart from that, we are currently busy listing out guests and scouting for suitable venues in Penang. Its gonna either be a beach or a garden wedding for him. We wanted to do it in Lone Pine initially but sadly, to which I'm terribly upset of; they're closed for renovation till end of August. Lone Pine hold the fondest memory of our first vacation together. We love cruising down the beach at sunset whenever we go home to Penang. Its sadden me that they're unavailable in June.

We also checked out one of our favorite old bungalow heritage with a vast yard that could easily house hundreds of guests but that too is closed for renovation. Grr.

I'm gonna re-design the dias again tonight, hopefully. Only have weekends to work on things. Also need to go back to Muar tomorrow to measure the hall. I'm afraid that my pelamin wont fit in as the ceiling fan might mingle in our way.

Did I tell you that I've been coming home from work at 3am - 5am nearly two weeks now? I'm totally wasted but happy and excited each time I think of my wedding with him *dreamy*

I'm googling for some ideas and references. Looking for inspirations. But gosh, i must be back to my never-ending work now or else.






Sorry for the messy layout. Me just too lazy to edit :(
