Venue: Honeymoon IV

December 27, 2010

Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, the Taj Mahal is indeed one of the most instantly recognizable buildings in the entire world. Considered as one of the most graceful and beautiful structures, even today, it stands as a symbol of love eternal.  


Sigh.


So why not choose the Taj Mahal as a place to start your own journey of love eternal.  We found the perfect place.  Gorgeous is an understatement.


Let us introduce the Oberoi in Agra.







Decor: Metallic Influences

December 24, 2010

We are crazy about metallics. A touch of gold, silver, copper, aluminium, you name it - it  doesn't have to be cheesy or remind you of cheap ornaments from discount retailers. With the right blend of things, metallics can be soothing, elegant, whimsical and timeless. Take a look at a few of our favorite uses of metallics.

We love the silver reflection from the Champagne bucket paired with simple DIY boxes for this holiday table.  Even with the subdued linen and Chinese lantern, it doesn't feel out of place but more festive.

Gold antique vases doesn't mean it has to look Marie Antoniette at all.  Mixed with branches and winter anemones and rustic chairs ---  it's fabulous.  The dark linen helps ground the gold vintage urns.

Black and white graphics with bold flowers need a little soothing.  Pair it with an orchid hue metalic goblet and suddenly, the zebra pattern doesn't feel like Cher but more chic.

Faded aluminium can look charming when paired with old vintage wallpaper.  Plus, who doesn't love a little red and white twine.

Inspiration: Gifted

We don't know about you but sometimes reading wedding blogs and magazines can feel like a chore. Instead of focusing and getting inspired by someone else's wedding, how about feasting on lifestyle magazines like this one called  Gifted Magazine. Its ideas, inspirations and cool images can probably soothe the stresses of planning the wedding details away away away.
