Yellow Bird Wedding Inspiration

by

It’s been some time since I last blogged. 2013 was a year filled with new beginnings for Never Ending Ideas and myself. Having only launched in February last year, we have achieved a number of milestones. We made new friends in clients, coordinated our first real wedding, made mistakes and learnt from them, partnered with an International Wedding Network, an most importantly we inspired many with our humble work.

Never Ending Ideas turns 1 this Friday. Last year our goal was to get to know the industry better and let them get to know us. I’ve been thinking of a goal to strive for this year. With so much on my plate, I have been feeling rather grey lately (which explains the delayed updates). Uninspired. Not very handy especially with a company called ‘Never Ending Ideas’. Then something happened. I was having my morning tea and looking out at this concrete city and there flying near by was a humble yellow bird. It’s not that I’ve never seen a yellow bird before, neither was it a rare breed. It just stood out from the concrete city, gliding through the sky with such grace, style and confidence. That is this years goal – to do everything with grace, style and confidence.

With that I put together an inspiration board themed around the yellow bird and our goal.

Pantone Spring 2014: Celosia Orange and Placid Blue

by

Pantone Inc. released its Spring 2014 colours recently. 10 new colours to design with. How exciting!

This is my take on two of the colours – celosia orange and placid blue. The combination is a great colour for spring as the placid blue sets a calm ambience whilst the celosia orange poses a fresh take on the season. I would love to design a spring wedding in these two colours.

Inspirational Board – Stone

by

Inspirational boards or mood boards are a great way to express how you feel about something. There is no right way or wrong way to create an inspirational board. I believe a good mood board is one that with one look it tells you what it is the artist is trying to say.

This week I’m proud to feature an inspiration board put together by Budding Dreamer, Sarah Ho.

The theme of this board is styled around the natural and earthy tones of stone. It is for those who want a theme that is simple yet elegant. It carries a restful and reassuring vibe whilst its neutral shades evoke pure and calm elements to the event. You can style your event purely on the raw texture of stones or even pair it with fabrics such as lace or velvet.

Have a look at the board and see for yourself!

Cool Breeze

by

The cool breeze is running through my hair. I can smell how fresh it is. It brings new beginnings at the tail end of this summer. A gentle reminder of hope and love.

I don’t think I fully appreciated the cool breeze before this week. Our air conditioner’s compressor stopped working on Sunday and we were told they couldn’t get the new part till Friday. So we had to withstand the tropical heat with fans in the last few days. I’m not complaining. It brought change to my daily routine.

I moved my home office to the dining table and left the windows open. I never realized how much wind Singapore actually has. The cool breeze sets a calm ambience in my home and lets me work in peace.

I dedicate this board to the cool breeze:

Blood Orange and Rafflesia Theme

by

I just got back from Sarawak. I was there celebrating my 2nd wedding anniversary. As both my husband and I wanted an outdoor adventure, we choose to explore the tropical rainforest from kayaking to trekking. I want to highlight our visit to Gunung Gading National Park where we saw the largest flower in the world – the Rafflesia. Now this is a rare flower that only stays in bloom for 5 to 7 days. I’ve never seen this flower in bloom before this trip, though I have visited Sarawak before. We drove for 2 hours till we got to the park and trekked up just to see this flower.

The day we went, it had been in bloom for 4 days already. The colour of the rafflesia flower in bloom starts with a dark red with leopard type spots in white. After the 3rd day – the flower starts changing its colour to an orangish shade and slowly wilts away. Seeing this flower made me think about the beauty of this flower. Being a wedding planner, my first thoughts were – I wonder if the flower has ever been the theme of a wedding before. Off course my curiosity never ends, so upon returning I decided to do some research and put together an inspiration board for a wedding theme idea around the rafflesia.

I decided to compliment the theme with Blood Oranges as the colour of this fruit reminds me of the Rafflesia on the 4th day. The colour scheme and concept reflects a deep rooted love that will suit couples looking for an exotic and passionate wedding day!

Dragon Fruit Wedding Inspiration

by

The dragon fruit is a gorgeous looking fruit. This week I decided to use this fruit as inspiration to style a wedding. This theme is for those who are looking for something exotic as a wedding theme. Definitely one of a kind.

Take a look at our inspiration board on this idea:

Elephant Love Wedding

by

This week my memory was jogged on quite a number of matters. Truly nostalgic moments. When pondering on memories- the elephant comes to mind. I’ve always admired elephants for their incredible memory.

I’ve put together a board inspired by elephants. The colours I choose to work with this inspiration are rustic purple, honey mustard gold and orange – bright contrasting colours. They represent wholeness of life in marriage. Marriage is filled with ups and downs but all those moments are memories that we hope to cherish forever, like an elephant.

Colour of the Year 2013: Emerald Green

by

Emerald Green is the pantone colour of the year. You must have already seen plenty of inspiration boards already out there with Emerald Green themes. The thing with colours and styling is there are so many palates that can be combined together to compliment each other.

When I was thinking about how I would use Emerald Green, the Wizard of Oz came to mind. What better way to incorporate emerald green into a theme than in the Emerald City itself and the oh so adorable Tin Man would compliment the look and feel of it. So here is an inspiration board I put together with the Emerald City and the Tin Man in mind.

Milk and Cookies Wedding

by

The very famous cookie monster of Sesame Street has been featured in many baby showers and children’s birthday parties. Today I was thinking about Cookie Monster and how he could be incorporated into a wedding. Wouldn’t it be such a warm wedding? This is an inspiration board we put together with the idea:

A Royal Galah Wedding

by

I came across the rose breasted cockatoo (more commonly known as the Royal Galah) two years ago when I was looking around for live birds to feature at my jungle theme wedding in 2011. The company we hired had a set of three birds – one of which was the Royal Galah. For those of you who were there will remember the gentle and radiant personality of the Royal Galah, which I love.

Today I was having cup of tea from a mug with a picture of the Royal Galah (which I got as a wedding gift) which made me think about this sweet bird’s personality. It would be quite a sweet theme for a wedding especially if the bride shares those personality traits. With that in mind, this is an inspiration board of a wedding themed around the Royal Galah:

Lilies, grapes and blooms

by

For a client’s private luncheon, I had an idea of using Green Grapes in a Floral Arrangement. I used plain white lilies in a jar filled with green grapes to create an elegant yet fun arrangement which left every guest curious and pleased.

Lilies, Grapes and Blooms

The overall table setting was quite simple. The colours for this event was simply light green, white and subtle earthy tones. I choose these colours for this luncheon as it gives off a calm vibe which pastels tend to do generally. Green in particular has been on my mind as I’ve been wanting to incorporate the eco chic element into an event theme. This shade of green is light, friendly and versatile. The flowers I choose are also flowers that symbolises elegance and difference which suited my client’s personality.

The flower arrangement and table setting was done by Never Ending Ideas. We are not florists but we can arrange something simple like this.

I’d like to thank Caterpillar Florist for their flower supply, fashion blogger, Rach-in- Fashion, for her style and design advise and Silverfox Photography for the lovely pictures.
