Hardy's Hantaran

My cousin just got engaged recently.. many congratulation my dearest cousin H and his fiancee D. Here is my mum showcasing her latest design of 'tapak sirih' for the engagement hantaran



If only this blog have smellovision :) the smell of lilies and roses fills up the whole room that day.. it beats any air freshener or scented candles..



Notice how 'duit pembuka mulut' is incorporated into the flower arrangement





My aunt suggested to my mum to use crystal stand instead of the normal 'gangsa'. I think it works really nicely..

New Sirih Junjung & fruit basket

Nowadays we can have strawberries all year round.. they have the scrumptious colour of red.



My mum tried the new sirih junjung using Antarium flowers (her new favourite).. I like it :) how about u guys?

your something blue..

On previous post I mentioned how we are always tempted to use blue as the colour
scheme to give to the man we love.. why? I guess you can never go wrong with the
colour that is synonimous to boys... men... since the day we were born :) what is it ya..
baby soft blue? creamy dreamy blue? or I'm-so in-love-with-blyou? hehe.. sorry guys..
my feeble attempt to be a poet..

Green and Silver

Before creating this 'hantaran' my mum was contemplating whether it was a good idea to use green as a colour scheme.. she thought it would be too dull.. She tried on many greens before she perfected it with this creation :) How does my mum n aunt do it.. They always seem to surprise me.. always..



Notice how they introduce a bit of colour to the greens (just a bit), to break the monotony.. and the result just looks chic :)

Sirih Junjung

It was fun doing a purple themed 'sirih junjung' cos u can really have a grand day picking the flowers.. Here, its like a flower party on a 'gangsa' hehe.. so many beautiful flowers to use..


ofcourse the signature bettlenut flower is never forgotten :)

Traditional fruit basket still have its appeal..

Check out the crab-like plant my mum use to decorate the fruit basket!! talk about loud ya hehe.. this is for the zen in you..
