Wedding ideas : Decorations and inspirations!

More posts on wedding ideas!! There are just TOO many to incorporate into one wedding! And with a budget constraint, it makes my life of planning my 'special' day even more difficult!!

Nevertheless, I shall persevere!

#1 I love the out-of-norm concept...

#2 Simple, sweet and quaint!

#3 LOVE this idea.. the heartshaped pin, which I might do for mine.

#4 Do you know how hard it is to find the 'right' wedding favour??!

#5 Definitely doing this if I can find Mr. C and my initials for a 'reasonable' price.

Then again, reasonable is very subjective to each individual's definition,

#6 I really love the quirky and creative themes of wedding out of Malaysia.

#7 <3 birdcages concept too but it's pricey...

#8 This is possible ONLY if you have 50 guests and not 400 over.

# 9 Similar to my photobooth concept!!

#10 Aaahhh.. the joys of being in love and marrying one's love...

#11 'Love is sweet' theme is so apt!

#12 So which am I going for? Cute theme? Sweet theme? Goingkookies theme?

#13 Loving the 'L,O,V,E' Scrabble idea.

#14 Tell me that you can resist all the charm and thoughts put into each ideas...

#15 Because I can't!!

#16 Interesting cos they mash Red and Blue together!

I should consider meshing Blue and Red like the about #16 picture, seeing how the banquet hall is going to be red and gold (doubt a Chinese restaurant would ever change their deco to Blue and Silver - funeral bearing colours or rather, Christmas) and my theme is going to be blue and silver as blue is my favourite colour.

Am thinking of incorporating #2, #3 and #5 whilst adding a little 'me' in it. Would love to do #8 but it's going to be too much effort for 400 over guests and I doubt Malaysians know how to appreciate hand made stuff. #9 is already in place for my photobooth, if that plan eventuates.

The rest are muses and inspirations.

What's your favourite or rather, if it is YOUR special day, what would you do??!

Too many choices make decision making tough... LOL!

AUD3.50 White coffee, Prefer the one at Than Dat.

JS's Vermicelli combination that looked alluringly delicious.

My AUD9 Pho with beef slices and beef balls...

It was alright but I still prefer the one at Than Dat... as blogged HERE.

Somehow, the soup is tastier there and portion is even bigger!

Lastly, heart shaped Konnyaku jelly for tomorrow's party!

Ever since I read 3iLing's post on how she made Konnyaku jellies,

I have made batches and batches of this yummy jelly.

Easy step-by-step instructions.

My first jelly making attempt HERE.

Now, it's sitting idly in the fridge awaiting to be gobbled up at Mr. C's early birthday bash.

10.07.11 Palais Theatre and New York New York

Hi Melbourners, have you guys ever been to Palais Theatre? Or even heard of this maginificent looking theatre? Well, neither did I 'till I bought two AUD10 (normally AUD20) tickets to watch 'New York New York' that was on special.

What's 'New York New York' you asked?

Well, during the second week of July, there was the Music on Film Festival going on in Melbourne and the Palais Theatre was screening different musical like films. Besides the Disney one that wasn't on offer, the rest lacked appeal. Only Liza Minelli's name - who starred in New York New York - stood out together with Robert De Niro and hence, we bought the ticket to watch them both.


Movie was alright. Theatre is beautiful!
