When I learnt from YS and Rachel that they have fixed a date for their marriage solemnization, I jumped at the opportunity to help out with the interior decorating work. A recession-case scenario makes the assignment more challenging, but it was interesting to see how one can stretch the dollar to produce the same dramatic effect. The planning didn't take long, as both of them were cool with most of my ideas, and they infused some of theirs along the way. The venue will be their 1200sqft home on the 22nd floor! The predominantly white interior of the apartment makes conceptualization of ideas somewhat easier. All in all, conceptualization and shopping took about 2 full days. We went to Arab Street and got an entire roll of organza (about 40 meters) which was just about enough fabric to drape the space. The rest of the materials were purchased from several DIY shops in town. Here's some pictures of the decorating process and you can judge for yourself if justice was done. I had fun doing it, and I hope you'll have fun looking at these pictures!
I went with the concept of a garden wedding within their living room. YS' lime green new rug came handy, as it provides an excellent backdrop.
Next, I found these two large outdoor lanterns which were just perfect for the concept.

DIY candleholders, made from drinking glasses and recycled beads from curtains.

I purchased these flowers from a nursery nearby. They were chosen for their longer-lasting nature and in keeping close to the lavender-white theme.
