Nantaka Joy

Absolutely gorgeous work by Nantaka Joy! Her wonderful website just came up and I couldn't stop downloading pictures of her work to show you on this blog. I was like a kid in a candy store gone absoluely maad!! With a passion for mixing of refined designs, handmade influences, texture, pattern, and color, Joy takes on a variety of clients in the design fields of home accessories, textiles, branding, packaging, custom invitations, and stationery. I will let her work speak for themselves!

Wedding photography

Like many other countries I believe, wedding photography is a big thing in Singapore and it is not uncommon to hear couples paying thousands of dollars just to have their wedding pictures taken.

Anyone can take a picture with a camera, but I believe it is only a sensitive photographer with a keen eye for detail that is able to capture the true essence of the day.

I will be sharing the work of some of my favourite local wedding photographers over the next week or so. Hope this will be useful resource and inspiration to lovely folks out there getting married. Please feel free to email me if you would like to share the work of your favourite wedding photographers with others. Enjoy!

Bluebird Studios

Beautiful, fresh and unique fonts by Rebecca Trawick of Bluebird Studios. Wonderful for weddings if you are looking for some fresh calligraphy for invitations. Rebecca is also an illustrator, collagist and painter who uses found materials, paper ephemera and other vintage items in her work.

Good on paper

The paper addict in me is back! Check out these beautiful designs by self-taught graphic designer Lisa Wong. Some of my favourites here...just love the beautiful graphics and colour combination of the cards and envelopes she chooses for her stationary.

Lisa also does custom wedding invitations and designs. The wedding collaterals she did for Lisa and Nick's wedding are gorgeous! Must check up her website for more eye candy!

Wedding Ideas

I have a couple of good friends and relatives getting married in the upcoming months so I thought I would do a post on weddings. I had lots of fun planning for my own wedding although I must admit that the whole process can be quite stressful and overwhelming, especially since most people do it for the first time. I found it quite helpful to look at images to find out what I like and to get inspired. There are just so much resources out there. When I have the time, I will compile a list of resources and put them on my blog for your easy reference.

For now, some images and ideas from Cox & Cox. For inspiration only.

.......................

Inspiration 1: Nothing beats making your guests feel special then to handwrite their names on a placecard to reserve their seat.

Inspiration 2: Everyone is giving candles as wedding favours. Why not be different and give matchsticks in personalised boxes?

Inspiration 3: Use paper (could be printed with your wedding music score, love letter or your favourite poem) to make containers for your wedding confetti


Inspiration 4: Make tea light containers like this from old glass containers you have at home. All you need are some wires to make the handles.

Inspiration 5: Why not give a plant or some seeds to your guest as a wedding favour especially if you are having a garden party and encourage them to grow it?
