Our Themed Wedding - A Cinematic / Movie Theme wedding

finally it's photos from our Movie-themed / Cinematic themed wedding.
Zonzon helped us make a montage that is pretty related to movie theme with the typical movie opening.
Most of the guests thought we're playing a movie haha..
Especially love the part "Please switch your mobile to silent" mode..lolx

Anyway here are snippets of our movie themed wedding.
A full episode of the DIYs done...when i state DIY it means all artwork and photoshop files done by meeee...=)

the DIY movie tickets themed invites


the venue - the little black strips on the red carpet were actually strips of films strewn on the floor...

we used Theatre numbers with different love movie posters as table numbers instead of the usual boring table numbers.


an affair to remember indeed!



A wedding date indeed too!!

the displays @ our reception

love how the vintage feel. The gold circular thingy were actually the real film reels used in movies



.





of cos, what's a movie without pop corns. the popcorn boxes were DIY too with our names on it. sent to print and each cut out and folded

Bought mega packs of popcorn from NTUC and the pretty bags from SKP. They look pretty altogether right?

our DIY kachang puteh stall

as you can see, we didn't cater full bottles of nuts cos we thought not many people will take them but BOY WE WERE SO WRONG! the kachang "sold out" within the first hour!

the box and cones all DIY. Used a shoe box, wrap it with pretty gold wrapping paper, cut a few holes and voila! Kachang puteh holder!



this is part of the reason why the kachang were so HOT. we had an "authentic" kachang puteh "seller! really touched with this friend of mine, she brought her saree and dresses up as an indian lady to help mend the stall!


this is our DIY guest book. it's actually post cards that's supposed to act like "fan-mail"

look like real postcards hor? especially with our faces as stamps



what's a fan mail without the red vintage mailbox!! 

our DIY pop corn pens. bought normal capped pens, stick it with the gold sticker, then did the mini  version of our popcorn box, stick on it and used yellow straw bits to make it look like popcorn





DIY movie posters displayed all over the venue

my favourite poster actually...- done with photoshop too

we had a few series of different posters all over the venues. As the venue as on the 2nd level, we stick some on level 1 to direct people from the carpark.
our helpers were so meticulous, they stuck a copy in the lift too!
this copy was posted on level 1. see the red arrow below? pointing towards the stairs to make the guests proceed to level 2..hehz..

print outs from our instant photo booth by Zonzon Photography.
They even imprinted our  photo and a popcorn box at the bottom. This instant photobooth is at a very affordable price! Do check out the rates with them 
our instant photo booth..- this shot is not taken by Zonzon though, candid shot by one of our guests thus the resolution not so good...

one of our wedding favours from Ido-Ido favours. It's a sundae cone towel. Costs  is very reasonable too. Do check them out.


another wedding favour.. We DIY the sticker to make the whole thing look like a film reel and customise it with our names.


there isn't enough boxes to cater all of the popcorn so we end up using it to hold the lollipops instead.
These lovely lollipops were a hit among the kids & ladies!
Colourful, yummy and heart shape. More importantly it's very cheap! <$4 for a pack of 30 or 40 sticks i think. Got it from a tidbits wholesaler.

kids seldom say NO to lollys..hee..


our movie-themed reception. The mega popcorn box was DIY by a close friend and we used it as Angpow box.
The movie photo frame can be bought from Ikea btw..this shot is not by Zonzon too


anor shot by a guest using her mobile








it's a peek-a-boo time. having fun while waiting for march in.

other then the beautiful lake view the stage is what makes us choose Raffles Country Club in the end despite it's uber far location

ahaha..pretty cute for the photography to take this shot. i just find the octopus looks funny standing on the plate like this.

our wedding cake

resting in the bridal suite while waiting for 2nd march in

this is like the typical shots wedding photographers must take

loving all the candid shots and its effect.

love this shot so much!!

ahah we caught the photographer snapping away...

entrance to our reception, with wedding poster displayed at entrance.

it's the stage again


like i mention earlier, i like how ZonZon photography focus not just on the wedding couple but little details like this. kids having fun with dry ice.

anor candid shot of myself looking so fierce if i don't smile

another commendable shot. fast reactions are crucial to a photographer.
i love how he is in time to capture shots like this. this shot is taken when i'm making my thank you speech to my mama, almost immediately he turned and capture this shot!


So that very much make up our movie themed wedding dinner. We are really grateful to have such great help from our bridal party and all of the guests.

We must say we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Looking through the photos and videos, we've seen laughter and more laughter.
It's not easy to be a totally relaxed couple on your big day. But just let nature take its course, let things run and things will be great.

We had so much fun that everything seemed to happen so quickly. 
It was over before we even realize it.

All the appreciation from the guests and feedback made us feel that such efforts are well worth it.

Well if you are planning like 1 year before your wedding, absolutely NO EXCUSE! all it takes is a little DIY effort to make your wedding memorable and unique.

Nothing beats hearing all the positive feedbacks we have from our guests and when we see guests taking pcitures of the little diy and posting them on facebook.

And it doesn't cost a lot of money too...

Have fun with your planning for all brides to be!

Taiwan Kids friendly Accommodation with slides - not your usual list!

And so from a mere idea of bringing Sticky Bean with us to Taiwan, this idea was put into action with Singapore Airlines 70th Anniversary promotion where you get to pay only $70 for a child's ticket! Though it's not exactly the cheapest option for flying to Taiwan, we thought to pay a little more for better service and not to mention safety since it will be Sticky Bean's first time traveling on a relatively longer flight. Her first plane ride was a really short one to KL, a mere 1 hour away. If she's manageable on the flight, we can then consider budget airlines such as Scoot or even Jetstar for our subsequent travels. So why Taiwan? There are plenty of reasons for our choice other than both Mr. Keir and myself love Taiwan for the food and hospitality. I'm sure you may have come across Awesome kids friendly accommodation with slides and other themed rooms in Taiwan that are trending in facebook. That was one of the many reasons why we want to go Taiwan too!

BTO Keys Collection and BTO Door Opening Ceremony

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying

8 Day 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Iitnerary (Taiwan)

Finally, we embarked on an exploration trip to the Southern part of Taiwan. Having heard so much about E-Da World in Kaohsiung, we decided to take a direct flight just to explore Kaohsiung. Initially, we'd wanted to do a Kaohsiung-Tainan trip but decided to skip Tainan this time around and did a Kaohsiung-Nantou trip instead. We had so much fun and would highly recommend a visit to Kaohsiung to any families travelling with kids. In fact, we find Kaohsiung a lot more child-friendly than Taipei. It is also less crowded so it makes it less claustrophobic taking public transport in Kaohsiung as opposed to Taipei. The people there are also a lot friendlier and helpful. This time around, my mum joined us as well and Sticky Bean was ecstatic as she gets to spend quality time with her Popo. Here's a preview of our 8 Days 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Itinerary (Taiwan) . You can click on the respective days for a detailed post. The link will be up once it's ready
