How to DIY Fabric Flowers

We recently posted up some pictures of the fabric flowers project and have had a number of people asking how to make them. 
So, here are some easy peasy steps:


1) You will need a pair of scissors, needles, thread and assorted ribbons. For this exercise, we used a 2 inch thick ribbon.

b) Cut the ribbon into 9-10 inches long strips. Obviously, if you are using thinner ribbons like a half inch , you will need cut the ribbons shorter to 4 inch strips.

c) Thread the needle and tie a dead knot at the end. Start to run the thread through the edge of the ribbon strip.

d) As you move the needle along the ribbon, try and gather the fabric at the same time.

e) When the needle reaches the end of the ribbon, tighten the gathers so the ribbon forms a circle and put the ends of the ribbon together.

f) Sew up the ends.

g) Done! You can do them in different ribbon material and insert the smaller flowers in the middle of the larger ones to create more colour contrasts. 

Use them as corsages, hair accessories or even a hand bouquet!

Black, White and Airplanes

We love intimate weddings and every time we get a chance to plan one, we try to make the touches unforgettable. 

Our first wedding of 2012 was very special because everything about it was different. Stef and Sam met over a bottle (or a few bottles) of wine in the UK while Sam was studying there. They fell in love, dated, decided to tie the knot and we were hired. 

In our first meeting, we chatted about venues and were told that hotels were a big no-no... We decided that a "blank canvas" type of venue would make their wedding unique to them and would also allow us to play with tons of ideas. 

During our hunt, we stumbled upon Monu@Numo and booked it! We fell in love with the full length glass windows, black and white interior and the fact that it had absolutely nothing! 

The day was split into 2 events: wedding ceremony at the Armenian Church of Singapore and the evening reception/dinner at Monu. 

Here are some pictures below!
