Being Mrs Mo {Venue}

my wedding palette was predominantly dictated by the venue. lucky for me, what i had in mind were neutral enough to match the event location. as much as it would be nice to create a whole mood board from scratch, singapore doesn't really offer spectacular venues and neither am i in any position to blow $100,000 on a 5 hour event.

so the safest (styling-wise) and fastest way to get things moving was to work with the location. my choice (mandarin oriental) was purely driven by my obsession with their tiramisu i kid you not. if you are wondering why i went for a hotel having been strongly against standard hotel wedding packages (still am btw), it was purely in the name of convenience and comfort for the aging parents as well as husband's family and friends who flew in from London and Dhaka. anyhow i've attended a couple of corporate events there and went on tiramisu-rampage! again, luckily for me, they had or shall i say did not have weird, ID-4 like chandeliers, dismal wall panelling and/or distracting carpets in their ballroom! that plus awesome tiramisu was a straight yes for me.

the neutral colored and chinoiserie-esque ballroom was more than ideal for what i planned out in my head. silver silk table tops, antique gold napoleon chairs with red velvet cushions, white china with silver trims all came together with glass jar themed floral centrepieces. we worked with an all white bloom selection which included tulips, cymbidiums, peonies, freesias, hyacinths, hydrangeas, snapdragons, sweet williams and more of which i cannot spell. the dais was in typical TWC style - a black rattan settee flanked by two gold bamboo tables against a chinoiserie screen. chinese vases filled with phalaenopsis adorned the stage to match.

well after 2 months, it feels great just looking at these pictures and re-living the fabulous day at MO!
