A typical western wedding gown in Indonesian party

How do they walk in this thing?? How do they dance or move around? How do you even bustle this thing?? You probably don't bustle it at all.. mm... interesting :) What do you guys think about a long train for the dress

BHLDN cute dress

How awesome is this BHLDN new dress... shop it here it's $2400 though.. ouch

I'm not looking for an after party dress anymore.. we've decided not to do an after party.. eventhough our wedding ends at 10.. i think it's smart...

DIY Menu Canvas board

Okay first see this post where I talk about my love for chalk boards but I have no money or the intention to create a chalk board.

Next see some inspiration pictures:

and then of course don't forget my invitation which also has made it into the menu board:

And... the final result.. ta da..........

It takes me about 3 hours to do or maybe 2.5 hours.

First i have an old canvas, big enough for the menu, I paint it all black... Let it dry for a couple days...

Second, I start to write the Menu on it using pencil.. That might be hard if you're not as good on keeping the writing straight so use rulers and stuff

Third, I decided to go with white paint (instead of grey which is my color) to make it contrast more and start writing over my pencil. and then add those pink flowers (inspired from my invitation) into it..

Fourth, I haven't done it but I am hoping to erase the pencil writings.. either by an eraser (gosh I hope it works) or just painting black over it.. The beauty of oil paint is you can just paint over it if it's wrong.. i heard acrylic dry faster but I like the look of oil for colors better...

Good luck trying!! What do you think of my menu canvas board?

Wedding Invitation Reveal...

Yes yes yes i know... it's been a while since I said i will reveal.. so without further a do...

I kinda wish you guys can see the letterpress better ugh..

Aren't they gorgeous though!!!

Here are some recaps on past posts. Starting from my first review on Mercurio brothers, followed by my DIY envelope liner
to hand cancelling stamps (where I send my invitations to Bridal Veil, Oregon, and not a single person commented on the hand cancellation cute doves - how depressing). Lastly my inspiration that gets me to the final invitation as well as of course Bellafigura that inspires the whole set.

Nicole at Mercurio Brothers was great to work with. She was the one who created the admission ticket (love love love love....) Can you give me advice on what I should do with those admission tickets.. Should I ask guests to bring it and in exchange we'll have some usher in front passing the wedding program as an exchange of the admission ticket (playing off the art museum theme here)... My fi thinks this is a stupid idea... and i will make people feel bad if they forget the tickets... :( mm i dont think so....

Ok please please please give me advice and what do you think of my invitation (u have to love it , no love no comment :P)
