An Intimate Birthday celebration - Our Debut Event

This weekend was a special one because we had our first event for a very special friend's intimate birthday party. It was all about YELLOW (coz it's the birthday girl's favorite color) and POM POMs (coz we think they're the cutest!).

99 Restaurant at Grand Indonesia had a private function room that was perfect for our intended event. We decorated the chairs and had a centerpiece of DIY pom poms, it was an instant hit with the girls!

 

It was a semi-surprise party as the birthday girl didn't really know what exactly was going down, so we had a friend blindfold her as they made their way to the venue. Special thanks to Iyut for that, good job, Yut!

It was great to see people enjoying themselves accompanied with good food, good wine and great friends. 

 

We had one last surprise for her and made her a friendship photoclip. It was a hit!

 

Happy Birthday again, girlie! Hope you enjoyed your intimate party!

Wedding Bouquet - Alternative to flowers

This post is inspired by a friend that had her wedding a few months ago. She had arranged for gorgeous flower bouquets for all of her bridesmaids and pretty boutonnieres for her groomsmen. On the morning of her wedding day, it turned out that one of her three groomsmen was allergic to flowers....huh...whod've thunk! So, needless to say, she was left with one groomsmen without wearing a boutonniere...

This got us thinking, what if the bride herself was allergic to flowers? Does she need to sacrifice not having to carry a bouquet down the aisle?

One Queen's Lane is here to rescue! We found some cool and cute alternative to flowers that you can incorporate in your wedding. There a lot of alternatives to flowers, bouquets can be made out of decorative paper, ribbons, fabric and even brooches (Yes, there is a way to incorporate vintage brooches into your wedding, look here)! While brooch bouquets are a little extreme for our taste, we thought we would share with you the classic alternatives.

Believe it or not, all of the bouquets pictured below are made out of paper! Look how pretty it can be.
